A manor house for sale in Gard is closer to a Cévennes mas or a garrigue bastide than to a turreted northern house, the word manor being little used in a department whose architectural identity reads through limestone and schist. From the Gardon valley around Uzès to the high Cévennes around Alès and Le Vigan, by way of the coast at Aigues-Mortes and Le Grau-du-Roi, these residences combine a character house with farm outbuildings. Browse the manor houses for sale listed by the department's private owners, agencies and notaries.
This page brings together real price benchmarks for large residences in Gard, the Cévennes and coastal areas where they cluster, the materials of this Mediterranean building tradition, and the checks to make before buying in garrigue or mountain terrain. The department's contrast between limestone plain and schist mountain is worth understanding before narrowing a search. To approach the whole project, read our guide to buying prestige property in France.
DVF land registry data does not identify manor houses as such: the benchmarks below cover sales of houses over 300 m² of living space on 0.05 to 10 ha, above €1,000/m², tracked by our observatory. They frame the market for large residences without describing it entirely: an estate with 30 ha of parkland or a listed monument sold with its farmland falls outside this scope.

In Gard, people speak more of a bastide or a master's mas than of a manor: golden limestone facades around Uzès and Nîmes, schist and granite walls in the Cévennes towards Alès and Le Vigan, canal-tile roofs on the plain and slate or stone-slab roofs at altitude. Plain residences often show a classical pedimented front, while the more vernacular Cévennes mas lean against the slope, with dry-stone cultivation terraces.
Outbuildings include a winery, sometimes a former silkworm house kept from a past silk-farming activity, a bread oven and a well, arranged around a courtyard or a terraced garden. Several bastides have kept a continuous farming or olive-growing activity, which explains functional outbuildings beside a house that sometimes needs modernising. Recent restorations favour lime renders, reclaimed stone slabs in the Cévennes and oak joinery. A converted silkworm house makes a frequent selling point, often reused as a guest room or a studio.
The Uzès plain and the area around Nîmes hold accessible bastides close to the main routes and the Pont du Gard. The Cévennes, around Alès, Anduze and Le Vigan, offer more secluded mas set in the steep valleys of the Gardons rivers. The coast, from Aigues-Mortes to Le Grau-du-Roi, adds properties near the Gard's own stretch of Camargue wetland and coastal lagoons, while the Rhône valley around Bagnols-sur-Cèze rounds out this picture of farming residences. Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes airport rounds out the regional connections.
Nîmes-Pont-du-Gard and Nîmes-Centre stations are served by TGV, with direct access to Paris and Montpellier, backed by a TER network reaching the Cévennes and the coast. The most sought-after areas remain the Uzès plain and the Camargue coastline, while the high Cévennes around Le Vigan allow buyers to acquire a comparable mas for a markedly more accessible budget. That price gap widens further once distance from the A9 motorway corridor is taken into account.
The Gard Cévennes rank among the most exposed areas in France to Cévenol storm events: systematically check the flood risk prevention plan before any project affecting outbuildings near a gardon river or stream. Along the Camargue coastline, the Loi Littoral and protected wetland status strongly restrict extensions and new building; in wooded Cévennes areas, vegetation-clearing obligations apply around buildings to limit wildfire risk. These constraints vary considerably from one municipality to the next, so an early check with the planning office pays off.
Have the roof checked, stone slab or tile depending on the area, the drainage system, often private in rural Cévennes areas, and any cracking linked to clay shrink-swell movement on the plain. Access by rural tracks or forest paths should be verified before purchase, as should the status of dry-stone terraces, sometimes subject to landscape-preservation rules. Along the Camargue coastline, also ask about marine flooding risk before planning any extension.
Manor house and bastide listings in Gard are placed by private owners, agencies specialising in character properties and notaries, several with a strong local footing in both the Cévennes and the plain; filter them by price, living space, land and outbuildings, and set an e-mail alert to follow new listings.
