Restored Stone Farmhouse with Gîtes and Terraces Facing the Ardèche Mountains

Property Description

Just 15 minutes from Largentière, perched above a picturesque village in the Ardèche region, this fully renovated stone house enjoys a commanding position and unobstructed views of the Tanargue mountain range. The village has preserved a vibrant local life, enlivened by a bakery-grocery store, a welcoming restaurant, and an organic brewery. Around the house, the garden is laid out in traditional terraces where oak, cherry, and chestnut trees flourish, along with raspberry and currant bushes. The 13,900 sqm property also includes a small greenhouse, ideal for seedlings or delicate plants, and benefits from sustainable water management thanks to its three water reservoirs supplying the estate. Part of the land, nestled in nature, is potentially buildable and lends itself to the creation of unique and secluded accommodations. The renovation of the building prioritized healthy materials that respect the building's original character. The walls breathe thanks to lime plaster, while the roof benefits from high-performance wood fiber thermal insulation. Modern comforts are seamlessly integrated with an efficient wood-burning boiler stove in the living room, reversible air conditioning in the attic, and a recent connection to mains drainage. The layout of the 187 sqm main house has also been designed with hospitality in mind. On the garden level, a beautiful vaulted room houses a welcoming kitchen open to the dining room, complemented by a useful laundry room and a cellar with good humidity control. On the first floor, a bright and inviting living room, partially featuring elegant solid wood flooring, a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and an office each have independent access to a suspended terrace. The second floor, adorned with solid wood parquet flooring, offers two spacious air-conditioned bedrooms with their own bathrooms, as well as an office accessible from a separate terrace. As soon as the warmer weather returns, life unfolds on a vast terrace shaded by a pergola covered in a generous vine. A magnificent handcrafted coconut fiber shade structure, from the renowned Scourtinerie workshop, extends this space. It elegantly filters the light and provides welcome natural coolness during the hottest hours. Adorned with a wood-fired oven made of slate, this terrace offers ideal potential for a fully equipped summer kitchen. It's the perfect place to set up superb tables in the summer months, overlooking the panoramic views of the Cham de Cros mountain, or to host high-quality events, whether intimate receptions, small seminars in a natural setting, or themed workshops. The property also includes two independent, fully equipped cottages of 35 sqm and 39 sqm, furnished as studios, each with its own private terrace to ensure guests' privacy. A small, two-story building awaits reinvention to suit your projects, whether for an artist's studio or a wellness center, while a closed garage completes the property. This 261 sqm property offers an ideal living environment for a family seeking a beautiful workspace for a tourism and exclusive events project in the heart of the Ardèche region.
