house for sale Sauzet, Gard

EXCEPTIONAL PROPERTY, FORMER 'RELAIS' AND MAGNANERIE, CONSISTING OF RESTORED MAIN HOUSE, GUEST APARTMENT AND SUBSTANTIAL OUTBUILDINGS FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. The main house has been restored completely to a high standard. It offers some 155m2 living space. The sitting room (52m2), with its restored stone arches and fireplace is marvellous. It opens on to terrace and pool area on the one side and then up ornamental steps into the fully fitted kitchen on the other. On this level there's a bedroom (14m2) with adjoining shower room and wc. The central staircase takes you to three 1st floor bedrooms (av size 15m2), all air-conditioned and large bathroom with separate wc. The bedrooms are beamed and two come with fitted cupboards. In the main building, there are three other large spaces which could be brought into further accommodation - two garages (47 and 55m2) with floors above. Forming part of the U in which the buildings are arranged, there's a separate guest apartment of 108m2 on 2 floors comprising sitting room (30m2) with fireplace and wc off, small fitted kitchen (12m2), and upstairs 4 large bedrooms (av size 15m2), large bathroom and wc. Two of the bedrooms overlook the inner courtyard and the other two look out over the fields and the river in the distance to the east. This is fabulous walking and cycling country. The remainder of the outbuildings comprise an ancient 'magnanerie' (silk was made here). The buildings are in stone, they are structurally solid but they need to be fitted out. The ground floor is presently used as a wood store, large workshop, and sun-trap sitting area. Two floors are possible and on the upper floor, mezzanine bedrooms could also be created, perhaps for some tourist use (Bed and Breakfast) - there are many possibilities, also for passing trade as in the 'old days' of the original relais where travellers rested here overnight. This large building offers some 300m2 of additional accommodation. This building also hs a large covered barn attached to it. The buildings are arranged in a U-shape with a central courtyard, a pool (8x4m) and terraces. There's a large enclosed field for a potential tennis court or two, or for a larger pool. The property comes with some 3 hectares (7.5 acres) of fertile alluvial agricultural land, presently rented out for vegetable cultivation. It would be ideal for horses. There's much potential here for the exploitation of a tourist related activity of considerable importance.
