A former hunting lodge hidden away in the heart of the Ardèche.
A former hunting lodge hidden away in the heart of the Ardèche.
The domain is isolated at an altitude of 780 m, where the coolness softens your evenings. It’s nestled in a natural setting, on a clearing just off a forest track, away from any visual nuisance and the hustle and bustle of the roads. Situated 1 hour 30 minutes from Lyon, around thirty minutes from Valence and only ten minutes from your nearest amenities.
This characterful 19th-century residence stands beside the ruins of a hamlet that once revolved around several springs. The site has given rise to more than just a romantic garden; stone has laid the foundations and harmonised its solid structures. Some of the water has since been transferred to the public domain, which supplies the house. Its well-kept grounds of almost 1 hectare are entirely enclosed, with flowering shrubs growing alongside chestnut, walnut, plum and mushroom trees…
In 2007, an architect designed a contemporary interior that offers ever-greater comfort.
The restored barn is attached to the dwelling and its tower. Its ancestral access is now topped by a 42 m² terrace and offers a large bay window in the living room, with a semi-circular arch that lights up and enlivens the mezzanine. Here, the 190 m² living space begins with a kitchen that opens onto the dining room and one of the lounges, all warmed by the fireplace insert. Before returning to the first floor, this former outbuilding offers 1 further bedroom, 1 bathroom and WC.
The roof has been completely restored, exposing the framework to 1 relaxation area, as well as 2 bedrooms with sloping ceilings.
Next, you can see the passageway to the original fireplace, just visible thanks to its imposing high ceilings, which provides 1 further bedroom equipped with all modern conveniences, then next door, in the same proportions, a 15 m² study, leading just as much to the garden as to 1 other room, 37 m², under the rafters.
The glass doors of the tower reveal the successful marriage of materials and the recent cabinetwork. It stands out from the staircase all the way to the roof, which caps the old building before our eyes, before creating a 9 m² plateau at the top, with extraordinary acoustics.
The orientation and dominant position of the house brings in light, which it has managed to make the most of. The house is sound, sitting on its cellars and stables. The detached garage and wood shed also make up the 133 m² of ancillary floor space on the garden level. With over 380 m² of floor space on offer, it is still possible to extend the living space of this property with its distinctive architecture.
