On the outskirts of the hilltop village of Antraigues-sur-Volane, surrounded by chestnut groves, wooded valleys and rivers winding through the valleys, lies this pleasant stone-built house, with around 230 m² of living space, harmoniously integrated into a preserved natural environment, where the peace and beauty of the Ardèche landscapes punctuate the day.

Set in 7,400 m² of terraced land, bordered by low dry-stone walls, this property will win you over with its authenticity, its independence of use and its respect for the rhythm of nature. Its orchard of fruit trees, its covered or semi-covered jacuzzi that can be used all year round, its uninterrupted views and its peaceful location make it a rare place to live, at the crossroads of ecology, the gentle way of life and rural living.

The house is spread over three levels, and offers great modularity. The top floor houses a listed gîte with three bedrooms, each with its own private shower room, a cosy living room with pellet stove, and a separate kitchen opening onto a dedicated terrace. This self-contained living space, with its independent access, provides an appreciable additional income, or can be joined to the main house to welcome family and friends, or accommodate a large tribe, thanks to a discreet internal connection.

The private area is organised on the 1st floor around two bright bedrooms, a study, a bathroom and a wellness area with sauna, providing an ideal cocoon in which to recharge your batteries on a daily basis.

On the ground floor, the atmosphere is warm and authentic: a kitchen opening onto the dining room, extended by a functional scullery, sits alongside an intimate living room with wood burner, creating a soft, welcoming atmosphere. This level opens naturally onto the garden, just a stone’s throw from the jacuzzi, where you can take a well-deserved break lulled by the sounds of nature.

To complete the ensemble, the attic houses a spacious 41 m² sports room, as well as a 20 m² workshop or office, accessible from the outside. These spaces offer freedom of creation and movement, in complete serenity.

The garden, a veritable sanctuary of plants, reveals its secrets as you explore it: orchard of fruit trees, fir woods, an ancient kitchen garden fed by a natural spring, not forgetting the shelters and outbuildings for storing wood and tools, the henhouse and even a shady reading corner. Here, life is king, and each season reveals a different palette of colours and smells.

In terms of facilities, comfort is a given: oil-fired central heating, solar water heater, wood burner and pellet stove in the gîte. Cellars. A garage of over 45 m² provides parking for two vehicles, and outside parking spaces are also available.

Just a 4-minute walk away, the village of Antraigues, made famous by Jean Ferrat, embodies the art of living in the Ardèche. Here you’ll find a grocery shop, a traditional bakery, restaurants, cafés, a weekly market and plenty of places to swim in the river, all in an artistic, friendly and peaceful atmosphere.

Close to Aubenas and Vals-les-Bains, this house is an ecological, inspiring and evolving haven, perfect for living in harmony with nature, welcoming loved ones or bringing to life a well-thought-out hospitality project.
