Historic Mas with 2600 m² of Constructable Land

Property Description

This is the kind of property that has almost completely vanished from the Vaunage valley.

Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Saint-Dionisy, discover an authentic 19th-century Mas offering grandiose proportions and exceptional land potential—a true historical treasure that will capture your heart.

Step through a beautiful entrance complete with a ground-floor bar area, brick vaulted ceilings, and a superb stone fireplace, to discover a home of extraordinary dimensions.

The interior is sublimated by noble materials, including traditional parefeuille terracotta floor tiles, exposed stone walls, traditional timber framing, and open fireplaces. The living spaces include a masterful 56 m² cathedral lounge with a fireplace, an immense 45 m² dining room perfect for large family gatherings, a 30 m² billiard room/lounge, and a second 20 m² dining room.

Two kitchens (22 m² and 12.5 m²) feature period granite worktops.

The sleeping quarters and mezzanine levels offer generous, wonderfully unique spaces. The upper floors feature three large bedrooms—including a magnificent 43 m² master suite with its own fireplace, alongside 16 m² and 17 m² bedrooms—each with its own dedicated bathroom or shower room.

Vast mezzanines and galleries totaling over 75 m² overlook the main living areas, adding incredible character and endless possibilities for a library, home offices, or artist workshops.

A fourth large bedroom (23 m²) with a private bathroom is located on the second floor.

Outside, the property boasts a private park of approximately 2,600 m² in a constructible "UA Zone," creating a true wooded sanctuary right in the village center, featuring a majestic lime tree, fig trees, mirabelle plum trees, and persimmon trees.

Because the plot is situated in a UA Zone (where footprint ratios are unrestricted), it offers a rare opportunity to divide the land to sell off one or more building plots, or to further extend the existing building.

A large 26 m² attached garage completes the property.

Whether you are looking for a magnificent family estate, a prestigious boutique guest house (chambres d'hôtes), or a high-end heritage development project, this rare gem is located in the highly desirable Vaunage valley between Nîmes and Montpellier—perfectly positioned between the Mediterranean Sea and the Cévennes mountains in a charming village with all amenities.

The Mas
Steeped in 19th-century history and boasting an impressive 442 m² of living space, this authentic stone Mas showcases grand proportions and incredible architectural character. From the moment you step through the beautiful entrance—complete with brick vaulted ceilings and a magnificent stone fireplace—the home reveals a series of extraordinary, light-filled living spaces. The interior is beautifully enhanced by noble period elements, including traditional parefeuille terracotta floor tiles, soaring timber framing, and exposed stone walls. Among its standout features are a masterful 56 m² cathedral lounge, an immense 45 m² dining room designed for large family gatherings, and a dedicated 30 m² billiard room. The upper levels are wonderfully unique, offering four generous bedrooms—highlighted by a spectacular 43 m² master suite with its own fireplace—alongside over 75 m² of open mezzanines and galleries that overlook the living areas, providing the perfect canvas for a luxury estate or a prestigious boutique project.

The Gardens
Set right in the heart of the village, the property features a rare and private 2,600 m² wooded sanctuary filled with mature fruit trees—including fig, mirabelle plum, and persimmon—all anchored by a majestic lime tree. This expansive green space offers a peaceful retreat while holding exceptional investment value. Situated entirely within a flexible "UA" planning zone with no regulated footprint limits, the land provides a rare opportunity for a premium extension of the existing Mas or a land division to detach one or several independent building plots. Complete with an attached 26 m² garage, the exterior perfectly balances the charm of an established family park with outstanding development potential.
