Une invitation au charme intemporel au coeur de la Drôme

An invitation to timeless charm in the heart of the Drôme

Set in lush greenery overlooking the town of Crest, this sumptuous 19th-century mansion house boasts elegant architecture and 326 m² of living space, set in rare landscaped grounds of over 7,000 m². A true testament to the refinement of yesteryear, this home combines character, space and authenticity to create a unique living environment.

As soon as you enter, a majestic staircase leads you to the main door, revealing an interior featuring herringbone parquet flooring, mouldings, marble fireplaces and impressive ceiling heights. The vast hall leads to a succession of light-filled reception rooms: double lounge, living room, study and library. A cosy, warm atmosphere emanates, ideal for savouring the passing of time.

A middle-class residence, it is in the centre of Crest but just outside the flow of the town centre, a three-minute walk away…

This residence is arranged over three levels:

On the ground floor, several vaulted cellars, a boiler room and a large double garage make it easy to combine storage and parking. A vast warehouse provides additional storage capacity.

On the first floor, a reception hall leads to the family kitchen, complete with storeroom, and to the living rooms: a large lounge with fireplace, a convivial living room and a study.
A small lounge extends this intimate space, giving access to a first bedroom with en suite bathroom.
It should be noted that this living-room-bedroom-bathroom unit could be used completely independently, possibly supplemented by rooms and storage space on the same level, to create an independent flat.

On the upper floor, the sleeping area offers five spacious bedrooms, including one with its own private shower room, as well as a second bathroom. A beautiful library room invites contemplation, reinforcing the literary soul of the house.

A romantic and inspiring exterior
The terraced garden is a veritable ode to nature and history. With its century-old tree species, shady groves and secret paths, it is reminiscent of the landscaped gardens of the 19th century, where every nook and cranny is an invitation to stroll.

A haven of peace, this enclosed parkland with its trees and shrubs offers a bucolic setting within easy reach of Crest’s amenities: schools, shops, transport and cultural activities are all just a few minutes away.

Just 30 minutes from Valence and 1,5 hours from Lyon, this property is sure to be a favourite with lovers of architecture and places with character. Ideal for a large family, a guest house project or simply for those who dream of a refined lifestyle, it requires some refurbishment work, leaving it up to its future owners to put their own personal stamp on it.
