Description of the property
UZES - EXCEPTIONAL HISTORIC CASTLE WITH PICASSO FRESCOS
Located in Provence, near the picturesque medieval town of Uzès, this remarkable historic château dates from the 13th century. This former property of the Baron de Castille was acquired in 1950 by the legendary British art historian and collector Douglas Cooper, owner of one of the most important art collections of the 20th century and a close friend of many of the world's most renowned modern artists such as Braque, Léger, Klee, de Staël and Pablo Picasso. Douglas Cooper commissioned the famous Spanish cubist artist to paint five monumental frescoes in the castle, which were later classified as historic monuments along with other parts of the castle. Castille Castle offers over 560 m2 of living space, including 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms and over 180 m2 of reception rooms. The gardens and the 2 hectare park include a gallery, a pond, a caretaker's house and outbuildings. The charming interior has been decorated by renowned interior designer Dick Dumas. His signature, refined blend of traditional rustic elements and more elegant objects, is evident in every room of Château de Castille: the bedrooms, bathrooms, library and living rooms. In total, the property offers 2 hectares of magnificent parkland with formal gardens and avenues of majestic holm oaks leading to cenotaphs. Other notable features include historic outbuildings, a large pond, numerous historic stone ornaments and a gatehouse. For the first time in over 50 years, this extraordinary property is being offered for sale on an exclusive basis, providing a unique opportunity to acquire not only a remarkable historic property, but also an important work of art from early 20th century art history.
