Property Description

Nestled in the Ardèche, this remarkable 1972 property with a vintage feel offers 318 m² of living space set within a vast, wooded estate of 9,500 m². A true architectural icon, this property combines the cult aesthetic of the seventies with modern thermal comfort thanks to a thorough energy-efficient renovation: insulation, refurbished joinery, a new roof, and a new, high-performance pellet boiler. Upon entering at ground level via a path between the flowerbeds, the generous spaces and abundant natural light immediately captivate. The spacious living-dining room, featuring an open fireplace emblematic of the 1970s, opens out onto the terraces through large south- and west-facing bay windows. The fitted kitchen is fully equipped with a central granite island. Storage spaces and a utility room complete this level.

The upper floor, accessed via a striking staircase in solid oak and wrought iron, features a superb double mezzanine overlooking the living room, two further bedrooms, a bathroom with a whirlpool bath, and a games room. In the basement, a space of over 120m² houses storage rooms, a wine cellar, a boiler room and a double garage for four cars with automatic doors.
Outside, the meticulously maintained garden offers a peaceful setting, with flowerbeds and majestic trees. A charming stone house in need of renovation opens up a range of possibilities: a holiday cottage, a studio, a business premises or a guest house. As for the building plot with its own access, it offers excellent potential for development. This exceptional property, featuring a secure swimming pool covered by a roller shutter, a pool house and spacious sunny terraces, combines luxury living with tranquillity. Situated in a very quiet residential area just a stone's throw from the greenway, the property is five minutes from the shops of this Ardèche village of 3,000 inhabitants, at an altitude of 500 metres, and approximately an hour from Valence, Aubenas and Le Puy-en-Velay.
