Elegant Country Living Near Uzès

Built in 1840 on land formerly owned by the Duchy of Uzès, Domaine des Muriers offers a serene garden courtyard setting, surrounded by vineyards, golden fields of wheat and sunflowers. Meticulously restored by local craftsmen, this villa retains its original splendor and offers lovely views of its perfectly maintained grounds.

"Elegant country" best describes the interior with its ample common areas and huge salon, making the Domaine des Muriers perfect for families or groups of friends. The pool is particularly enticing with its modern design, and a stunning exterior passageway -- replete with arcades -- evokes a charming, cloister-like feel.

Just a short walk away is the village of Montaren, which has a wonderful bakery, post office, newsagents and a hairdresser, while just outside the village is a large supermarket and pharmacy. The delightful and historic town of Uzès, just 2.5 miles away, bustles with markets each Wednesday and Saturday in its pedestrian center. The Camargue and the Mediterranean, the dramatic mountains and canyons of the Cevennes, and the fast flowing rivers of the Ardèche are all within a 45-minute drive.
