This superb manor house – formerly a farm belonging to the Cistercian monks of Mazan Abbey – has survived the centuries in all its glory. Situated not far from Aubenas in unspoilt countryside in the heart of the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Nature Park, this property comprises three sandstone buildings set in large grounds of more than five hectares, offering excellent development potential.
The 330 m2 main building sits on beautiful vaulted cellars that house two cellars, a laundry room, the unchanging medieval kitchen, the swimming pool equipment room and a useful bathroom with toilet after sunbathing.
A wide outside staircase leads up to the living rooms on the first floor. A fully-equipped kitchen leads to an elegant lounge with a beautiful fireplace, French-style ceiling and 12th-century floor tiles. A seductive family bedroom with en suite bathroom and toilet completes the discovery of this level, which opens onto a shaded terrace adjoining the property’s heated, secure swimming pool.
A sumptuous interior staircase then takes you to the second floor of the residence, where a corridor leads to three vast, luminous east-facing bedrooms, exquisitely appointed with an eye for detail: solid parquet flooring, decorative marble fireplaces and carefully chosen ethnic rice-leaf wallpaper by Béatrice Laval are dotted throughout. Each bedroom has an impeccably refined shower room with Italian shower and toilet.
A final flight of steps provides access to the top floor, where a useful study and two spacious bedrooms with large skylights open on the west side take their place under a brand new roof. Italian-style showers and WCs also punctuate this comfortable, soothing sleeping area. You will also appreciate the thermal and acoustic comfort provided by the use of excellent natural insulation materials such as wood wool and cork.
Two large, partly restored outbuildings flank the main building, including a former silkworm farm of 145 m2 built over cellars and comprising two reception rooms. An imposing contemporary Focus fireplace from the Dominique Imbert workshops adorns a beautiful open space with high ceilings, laid out in the form of a large lounge. A second room with independent access can be used for a wide range of projects, such as an artist’s residence,
The second 110 m2 outbuilding – the former stables and hayloft – has a new roof and a new floor, ideal for increasing the living space. It opens on to a charming patio with its Zen garden planted with trees and a respectable porch opening on to a bucolic country lane.
The well-maintained exterior features a clever rainwater collection and storage system to meet the water needs of the garden and vegetable patch.
Two precious springs have also been identified on the wooded property. Beautiful clearings promise a fine space for your horses or for developing your own hospitality project. A shady chicken coop has even found its place in this environment.
This attractive manor house is certainly not lacking in assets and could even bring together a whole family just an hour from the Rhone axis and TGV high-speed train access.
