Contemporary villa with pool in Nîmes

In the hills above Nimes, nestled in the heart of a protected pine forest, this contemporary 220 m2 (2,368 sq ft) bastide stands as a manifesto of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Built on a 2,000 sq m (21,000 sq ft) enclosed plot with mature trees, the property is distinguished by its south-southwest exposure and high-end amenities, where travertine tiles interact with the transparency of a 12 x 6 meter (40 x 20 ft) heated infinity pool. The main living area revolves around a spacious living room with a fireplace, bathed in light and opening onto the terrace. A unifying element of the house, the sleek Italian kitchen provides a seamless transition to a bright veranda that serves as a dining room, itself extended by an elegant and intimate lounge bar. The ground floor also houses a 60 m2 suite designed like a luxury hotel apartment, featuring a shower and bath, its own kitchen, and a private living room for complete independence. Upstairs, two bedrooms with storage offer views of the bay and surrounding pine forests, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The high-quality materials and refined décor highlight an architecture designed for well-being. Here, comfort has been considered down to the smallest detail to offer a high-end living space: underfloor heating and cooling, reversible air conditioning, and home automation blend harmoniously, all confirmed by excellent energy performance. The exterior is arranged around a large terrace and a landscaped garden with a Mediterranean scrubland feel. This verdant setting benefits from automatic watering and meticulously designed exterior lighting to enhance the spaces after nightfall. In addition to the sun-drenched pool area, relaxation continues under the shelter of a bioclimatic pergola and an electric awning with integrated lighting. At the rear of the property, a second shaded area also provides welcome coolness on summer evenings. A fully equipped 35 m2 garage completes the functional and high-end features of this property. This haven of tranquility, located just minutes from the historic center and its Roman treasures such as the Maison Carree and the Jardins de la Fontaine, offers a rare balance between absolute serenity and proximity to urban amenities. This immaculate property, with its generous proportions and distinctive aesthetic, represents an exceptional opportunity for those who appreciate unique spaces. A visit is essential to fully appreciate the atmosphere of this private retreat.
