In the Roman South of France, just outside Nîmes, a centuries-old farm estate spanning 107 ha / 264 acres has come to market with Emile Garcin for €6.89 million.

Dating to the 12th century and remodelled in the 18th, the estate brings together a 12-bedroom manor house set in landscaped grounds with a 6 x 15 m saltwater swimming pool, summer pool house and tennis court, alongside olive groves, truffle orchards, woodland, historic outbuildings and more than 2,000 m² / 21,528 ft² of agricultural buildings.

The estate sits in the Gard, part of the inland Mediterranean rather than the beach-resort South of France. Here, the landscape is defined by Roman heritage, old agricultural domains, stone farm buildings, olive cultivation, truffle orchards, woodland and garrigue, the dry Mediterranean scrubland typical of the region. Around Nîmes, Roman antiquity, medieval villages, Camargue wetlands and the Cévennes foothills all sit within the wider regional frame.

At the heart of the property is a 600 m² / 6,458 ft² maison de maître, the principal manor house of the estate. Arranged over two floors, it reflects the property’s evolution from a medieval rural domain into a substantial country estate, with formal reception rooms, service spaces, 12 bedrooms and a further 270 m² / 2,906 ft² of convertible attic space.

The ground floor includes a large sitting room, smaller sitting room, dining room, kitchen, games room, billiards room, library and study. Practical service spaces include a utility room, atelier, boiler room, wine cellar, storage room and garage.

Upstairs, the house offers 12 bedrooms, including a principal suite, along with four bathrooms, a shower room and a linen room. The attic space provides additional scope for future accommodation, studio space or other uses, subject to the necessary permissions.

The wider property unfolds as a small rural world rather than a single country house. In addition to the principal residence, the estate includes two caretaker houses, a restored mazet that once served as the home of the tileworks owner, a sheepfold, a former hunting lodge, a stable, a dovecote, a greenhouse, a wood store and extensive agricultural buildings.

The first caretaker house adjoins the main residence and measures approximately 85 m² / 915 ft², with a sitting room, insert fireplace and three bedrooms. The second, independent caretaker house offers approximately 125 m² / 1,345 ft², with a double reception room, fireplace, wood-burning stove and three bedrooms.

The 128 m² / 1,378 ft² mazet, formerly connected to the tileworks, has been restored in keeping with its original architecture and includes living areas, three bedrooms and a garage. The detail gives the estate another layer of local production history, beyond its agricultural uses.

The former hunting lodge, known as La Cantine, includes a fireplace, kitchen, sanitary facilities and a bedroom, and is ready to be updated. The sheepfold, rebuilt using reclaimed materials, provides a 223 m² / 2,400 ft² multi-purpose hall with changing room and shower, offering potential for events, retreats, tastings or creative use.

The agricultural buildings are a major part of the property’s character. Arranged over two levels, they total more than 2,000 m² / 21,528 ft² and include garages, workshops, a grading room, cold storage facilities, storage areas, an office and a water-treatment platform. They reinforce the estate’s status as a working rural domain rather than a country house with decorative land.

The landscaped grounds include a 6 x 15 m saltwater swimming pool, set around 50 metres from the main house. It is bordered by a small colonnaded pool house with changing rooms, sanitary facilities, a summer bar and a technical room. A tennis court completes the leisure amenities.

The land remains central to the estate. Of the total 107 ha / 264 acres, approximately 40 ha / 99 acres are farmland, including 15 ha / 37 acres of olive groves, 5 ha / 12 acres of truffle orchards and 20 ha / 49 acres of fallow land. A further 60 ha / 148 acres are composed of woodland, parkland and garrigue.

This is the property’s strongest distinction: it is not simply a large house in southern France, but a complete historic farm estate whose residential, agricultural and service buildings remain legible across the land. It belongs to a part of France where Roman antiquity, old farming estates, Mediterranean agriculture and wild inland landscape still shape the sense of place.

Of the total 107 ha / 264 acres, approximately 40 ha / 99 acres are farmland, including 15 ha / 37 acres of olive groves, 5 ha / 12 acres of truffle orchards and 20 ha / 49 acres of fallow land. A further 60 ha / 148 acres are composed of woodland, parkland and garrigue. Emile Garcin
