About this property
This used to be the village chapel. Now it's someone's living room, which is either deeply romantic or slightly odd depending on how you feel about vaulted ceilings and spiritual history in your kitchen. Either way, it's a conversation starter. The renovation happened in 2007, so someone's already done the hard work of turning a place of worship into a functional home: a 39 square metre living room and kitchen with suitably lofty ceilings, three bedrooms including two elegant 20 square metre master suites, a mezzanine for when you want to feel like you're in a loft, and multiple bathrooms. Stone facade, exposed beams, fireplace. Heritage without the museum gift shop.
Goudargues calls itself the 'Little Venice of the Gard,' which is the kind of nickname villages give themselves when they've got nice canals and want tourists to notice. It works, though. The place is charming without trying too hard, and this former chapel sits right in the heart of it all. Restaurants, cafes and shops within steps, the Cèze River for walks when you need to clear your head, and tennis courts nearby if you're feeling competitive.
The energy rating is an F, which means winter heating bills will remind you that old stone buildings were not designed with thermal efficiency in mind. Reversible air conditioning and wood heating help, but you're not buying this for the insulation specs. You're buying a property with actual history, properly restored, in the centre of a village people genuinely want to visit. Not everyday stuff.
