Uzès
Located near Uzès, in the sun-drenched lands of the South, lies Collias, a magnificent and picturesque village surrounded by Garrigue, seemingly suspended between heaven and earth. Its name evokes the sweetness of Provencal life and the timeless elegance of a certain Roman imprint, with houses in subtle hues, a mix of terracotta and stones goldened by the centuries. Perched on a hillside, this Provençal gem creates a work of art, overlooking wild and preserved nature, where age-old olive trees and vineyards blend into the landscape. Below, the river Le Gardon, like a silver ribbon, gently winds offering bucolic walks through the seasons. Its banks, the 'Gorges du Gardon' (UNESCO heritage and Natura 2000), are covered with lush vegetation, changing colors with the weather, from bright greens to deep reds of autumn. Every corner of the village tells a story, every stone bears the imprint of a past that is both Provençal and Roman, where the art of living is sacred. In this enchanting setting stands an exceptional residence, renovated with the utmost care. Respecting the codes of local architecture, it elegantly combines tradition and modernity, offering a true haven of well-being. The six spacious suites, each with its own private bathroom, are models of refinement. Each one tells a story, with a decoration that has preserved the soul of yesteryear while enhancing the details: period woodwork, high ceilings, exposed stones, every element has been designed to evoke authenticity and the charm of another era. The spirit of the house, vibrant and warm, is felt in every room. The large light-filled living-library is a place to relax while listening to bird songs, a good jazz record, or some piano music. In the absolutely extraordinary kitchen, one can enjoy the crackling of the fire in the monumental fireplace imported from a Loire chateau in winter. This exceptional kitchen, with a huge velvet bench in pink and black, a 17th-century notary table, and a sumptuous Italian (Bisazza) floral credenza, is a call to conviviality, a space where every meal becomes a moment of sharing and pleasure. Outside, the flowered terraces offer breathtaking views of the wooded park, the hills, and the Gorges, where scents of lavender and cypress float in the air. The pool surrounded by magnificent antique stones sparkles in the sun, inviting relaxation, while the Roman basin and its fountain offer another timeless outdoor space, adding an extra touch of elegance to this idyllic setting. This house is not just a residence; it is imbued with a soul, with a spirit that is felt in the smallest details. Every stone seems to tell the story of those who have lived here and loved living here, and the whole breathes authenticity, well-being, and serenity. Finally, vast outbuildings remain available, allowing for free rein to the imagination. Whether to welcome visitors in an exceptional setting or to create new living spaces, Collias, with its unique charm, lends itself wonderfully to this. Here, everything breathes the sweetness of life, the calm, and the beauty of a timeless place, a true refuge where one immediately feels at home. As for the price, at 1695000, this property is truly a gem reflecting the beauty and charm of the Provençal region. The attention to detail in the renovation, the stunning views, and the serene atmosphere make it a unique and highly desirable place to call home. The combination of modern amenities and traditional elegance truly adds value to this extraordinary property.
