The estate is isolated at an altitude of 780 m in a natural setting, on a clearing just off a forest track, sheltered from all visual nuisances and the hustle and bustle of the roads.
This comfortable character residence dates back to the 19th century and stands beside the ruins of a hamlet that was once built around several springs.
The site has given rise to more than just a romantic garden; stone has shaped and harmonised its solid structures. The water has since been transferred to the public domain and supplies the house, while its autonomy has yet to be regained.
The grounds of almost 1 hectare are entirely enclosed, with flowering shrubs, chestnut, hazelnut, plum and mushroom trees. A former tennis court is still in place, and there is a short walk to the promenade.
Situated not far from the Rhone Valley, this house in the countryside nevertheless takes you to all amenities in just a few dozen minutes, thirty minutes to Valence and 1 h 30 to Lyon.
The restored barn has been attached to the dwelling and its tower. Its ancestral access is now surmounted by a terrace and offers the living room a large bay window whose semi-circular arch illuminates and enlivens the mezzanine.
Under its completely renovated roof, the insulation has been adapted to keep the roof structure of the former outbuilding visible, providing a space for relaxing, as well as 2 bedrooms with sloping ceilings.
The 175 m² living space begins with a kitchen that opens onto the dining room and one of the lounges, all warmed by the fireplace. Before returning to the first floor, this former outbuilding offers 1 further bedroom and 1 bathroom with toilet. Next, we can make out the passageway to the original fireplace, just perceptible because of its imposing high ceilings. It provides 1 bedroom with 1 shower room and bathroom, then next door, in the same proportions, 1 study of more than 15 m² (161 sq ft), leads to the tower. The stairway leads down to the garden and up to another room of over 37 m², which also occupies the attic.
The tower is lined with glass doors, revealing the remarkable restoration work carried out by the cabinet-makers and the successful marriage of materials.
The wood was cut on site to create the open staircase and the new roof. It crowns the old building before our very eyes, before creating a plateau at the top with extraordinary acoustics.
In 2007, an architect designed a contemporary interior that is still in good condition. The floor tiles have been laid recently, the walls are mainly insulated and the double-glazed wooden windows enhance comfort. The house's dominant position makes the most of the light it receives. The house rises healthily, sitting on its partly vaulted cellars, which, together with the stable and the detached garage, make up the 125 m² of annexe space on the garden level.
Of the 300 m² of floor space on offer, it is still possible to extend the living space of this property with its distinctive features and architecture.
