Typical old farmhouse in the Ardèche mountains at the foot of Mont Gerbier

Nestling in the heart of the mountains and countryside, at the foot of the majestic Gerbier de Jonc, this 250-year-old stone house is a typical old farmhouse with a lauze roof, thick stone walls and wood panelling.
Situated in the heart of a small hamlet with just a few dwellings, it is at the end of a road in a valley, a stone’s throw from Lake Saint Martial, popular for its summer swimming.
In the heart of this village, the year-round shops add to the convenience and charm of this location.
This ancestral home with around 90m2 of living space stands proudly in a calm, serene setting, surrounded by lush, unspoilt countryside.
It would be possible to extend the house by rebuilding the former barn, which backs onto the east gable and is now in ruins, thus offering interesting potential for expansion.
The interior of the house reflects its historic character, with stone walls and wood panelling and flooring.
An old fireplace or “âtre” (hearth) takes pride of place in the kitchen with its stone floor, bringing warmth and authenticity to the space.
The old, locally sourced wooden furniture, including cupboard beds and wardrobes, add a touch of rustic charm and authenticity to this home.
The house has retained its character as a small, authentic farmhouse. A vast plot of 5800 m² of unattached land, formerly used in part to grow a vegetable garden and potatoes, completes the property for sale.
This well-preserved property, typical of the region, has become a rarity in its current state of conservation, where time seems to have stood still. It offers an immersion in the past while promising a peaceful future connected to nature.
It’s a haven of peace for mountain and country lovers looking for a refuge from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Lush green meadows and wooded hills stretch around the house, punctuated by footpaths inviting you to explore.
The 95 m² house comprises a kitchen, three single bedrooms, one of which is open-plan, a bathroom, a workshop in the former attic and a typical vaulted stone cellar with direct access from inside. This is where you’ll find the house’s independent water supply system, which is shared and plentiful all year round.
