About this property

Luxury house in 15 acres of land with large private pool

Set back approximately 100 metres from the road and within 15 acres of private fenced land, this beautiful 18th century house is peaceful and secluded. The spacious interior and large separate pool house allows large groups to spend a holiday together without ever feeling crowded. For a tour of the house and land, please see our youtube tour.

Inside, the house is furnished to a very high standard with a Lacanche oven, American style fridge freezers and a large amount of kitchen equipment for guests who enjoy cooking. There is a wide screen TV, HiFi stereo system, WiFi Internet - now recently fibre - and a large selection of books and videos.

Outside there are two separate patios for eating and relaxation. The pool is large (15m x 7m) and has an automatic safety cover with security clips. Adjacent to the pool is the pool house, which provides additional ensuite accommodation and a large lounge with comfortable seating.

Within the 15 acres of land there are there are also substantial recreational facilities including swings, a trampoline with safety net, and a football goal.

Things to do...
Food :-
The nearest shops are the local Carrefour and petrol station at Vezenobres. This is open on Sunday mornings. Small local shops and bakers are in the next village at Mejannes les Ales approx 5km. Ales is the nearest town (9km or 13min drive) and has a range of shops and restaurants including a large hypermarket (Cora). Closer to the house there is a fabulous restaurant (Auberge des Voutins) which always has a superb menu.

Locally there is a rich cultural history and plenty for those who want to explore. There are multiple historic sites close by including the Market towns of Uzes and Anduze and well as the Roman city museums and amphitheatre at Nimes. The nearby cave systems at Trubuc are fantastic, with regular guided tours.

There are two nearby aerial walkways (high ropes and zip wires) which are great fun for both children and adults. Alternatively canoeing from Collias takes you right underneath the historic Pont de Gard along the river Gard.

The nearest beach is 'La Grande Motte' is just over an hours drive away and is 10km of gently sloping sandy beach with sand dunes. The beach cafes offer excellent food and there is municipal parking next to the dunes.

For the more energetic there is paragliding at Seynes, rafting in the Cevenne and the Ardeche, and a national go-karting track in the nearby town Ales. The local area is great for cycling (both road and offroad) and there is a local horse riding school for those who enjoy riding.

There is a fumade or natural spring spa resort in a town close by. Golf is available at Nimes and Uzes and in the Winter skiing is possible in the Cevennes at Mount Lozere.

For those who prefer to simply chill out and relax the house and surrounding land is completely private and tranquil.

Un havre de paix !
Très belle maison avec beaucoup de caractère. La très grande piscine chauffée est un vrai bonus. Tout est à disposition pour des activités : jeux de société, Ping Ping, pétanque. Les chambres avec leurs sanitaires respectifs apportent beaucoup de confort. La maison présente également l’avantage d’être proche des sites à visiter : Uzes, la bambouseraie d’Anduze, le pont du Gard,…… En quelques mots: nous avons passé un séjour enchanteur

About the host

Hosted by Owner: Lesley Roberts.

Host profile image
We have a large family and we have built and developed the house and grounds to suit and accommodate people of all ages. It is our holiday home and we like our guests to share the comforts our home provides. We regularly have three generations staying in the house simultaneously and there is so much space that it never feels crowded.

Why they chose this property

This is a home from home. In 2000 we had a fantastic holiday staying in a friends house close by. We loved the local area and the many activities available, so when we saw this beautiful house set in such wonderful surroundings we were smitten and have remained so ever since. Over the years we have developed the house to comfortably accommodate large groups.

The pool has a heating system which permits use from April until the end of October. Pool towels are provided. The land that surrounds the house has a complete perimeter fence offering complete privacy and the surrounding countryside is great for bike rides. Although the main features are shown for Summer holidays the house is really fantastic in the winter months with an open log fire and central heating. There are lots of DVDs and books perfect for a winter retreat. The baby equipment makes the house perfect for families with young children.

What makes this property unique

Totally peaceful with fantastic facilities. The house is well set back from the road and the large number of fields that surround the property means that holiday makers are assured a private and relaxing holiday.
