luxury house with panoramic view for sale Banne, France

On the edge of a picturesque village, an exceptional character property enjoys a rare and unspoiled natural setting Located on a magnificent plateau overlooking the Cèze valley, this former 18th-century silkworm farm boasts a 360° panoramic view of the Cévennes mountains, with Mont Lozère as a backdrop. Situated on 1.6 hectares of landscaped grounds, entirely enclosed by an electric fence, it offers a privileged living environment, combining privacy, absolute tranquility, and abundant sunshine. The property offers 330 m² of living space, comprising 13 rooms, and features generous proportions with high-quality amenities: fireplaces, central heating, reversible air conditioning, and more. It also benefits from several terraces, including a 35 m² terrace opening onto this splendid view, and vaulted cellars. It offers remarkable accommodation capacity and can, depending on your needs, be divided into two large, independent apartments thanks to a simple connecting door, plus a separate guest room. The exterior amenities harmoniously complement the property: a 12 x 4 m covered and heated swimming pool, a 60 m² detached garage, a 63 m³ rainwater harvesting tank with pump, a well for the vegetable garden, photovoltaic panels, and more. Just minutes from beautiful hiking trails and the magnificent swimming spots of the Cèze River, this exceptional property is ideally suited for a charming family home, a characterful guesthouse, or a nature-based tourism project.

This is a place where the air exudes calm and gentleness, where the mind is set free, beneath a still, slumbering blue sky, in that southern light which envelops the hills’ sparkling hues and blurred contours in a shimmering halo and a spring-like freshness. Amidst this atmosphere of poetry and emotion, a former silkworm farm stretches out, rustling beneath the legacy of the mulberry trees, all the way to the vegetable garden and its trio of wells. It has been restored to its former glory, right down to its structural elements, and everything blends authenticity with modernity. The property has been enhanced with character-filled features from bygone eras, sourced from all over the country: wrought-iron banisters, cast-iron radiators inspired by the Victorian Baroque period, opulent yet understated, and cement tiles featuring geometric patterns… With approximately 230 m² of living space, the farmhouse offers a beautiful, spacious living area with a cathedral ceiling, featuring Renaissance-inspired mullioned windows, facing the rising sun and offering a panoramic view that sweeps across lovely, partially shaded terraces. A spacious kitchen with a dining area and an adjoining small lounge, along with two bedrooms that complete this level—one of which features a walk-in wardrobe and a mezzanine—is followed by a separate toilet and a large bathroom with twin washbasins. On the lower level, nestled around the courtyard, is a covered terrace offering cool respite in summer, along with two separate bedrooms, each with a bathroom—one of which has a toilet—as well as an additional separate shared toilet. Next is a studio (or an additional bedroom), a space for cultural exchange, learning and sharing, where the artist can retreat and lose themselves in their creative work; this space could be converted into a guesthouse once connected to the bedrooms. Finally, two cellars, a boiler room and a workshop complete the property. The farmhouse stands on 8,000m² of land, in complete tranquillity, with no immediate neighbours but without being isolated in the middle of nowhere. It is situated almost at the end of a cul-de-sac, offering absolute peace and quiet and beautiful panoramic views. Subject to planning permission, it would be possible to build a swimming pool. Heating is provided by a wood-burning stove, as well as two boilers: one wood-fired, the other oil-fired. Well then, it is time to leave this magical place where one can sense the watery textures of watercolours and the scents of oil paints mingling with a myriad of memories gathered from the nooks and crannies of more than one second-hand shop or flea market stall, all ready to tell extraordinary stories. A property selected by Botella Real Estate. Information on the risks associated with this property is available on the Géorisques website. Agency fees are payable by the vendor. Ref: 2937

My friend Henri, who knows a lot about stones and silences, once told me that there are houses that choose you. This one, at the end of a kilometer of private road in the Galeizon valley, 18 km from Alès, does not reveal itself to everyone. It waits. Two artisan blacksmiths worked on it for eight years – with their own hands, never entrusting to another what they could do themselves. The walls, stone by stone, by the École du Schiste, heir to the Compagnons du devoir. The wooden bridge connecting the clède has a railing forged in their own workshop. This is not a renovation. It is a life work.The first house – 160 m² Large living room of 50 m², open kitchen and lounge – this is where everything happens, the meals that last, the evenings that overflow. In the mezzanine, the main bedroom suite overlooks the lounge through wide openings – you can see the house living from the bed. A 10 m² independent bedroom on the landing, certainly the most intimate part of the property. And the clède bedroom, accessed by the forged bridge – its intimacy, its bathroom, its silence. Below, the rock becomes a terrace. An old bread oven that still heats. A 20 m² office for those who work – or who pretend. A 36 m² cinema room with red armchairs scavenged from a real Montpellier cinema from the seventies. A bright 25 m² gym open to the Cévennes.The second house – 120 m² Living room with cathedral ceiling – the kind that silences people for a few seconds. Mezzanine bedroom. Bedroom with jacuzzi bathroom. Long open living space: custom kitchen, furniture made on site, olive wood and wrought iron table for twelve. The sink is a drying sink – the real, old one, the one that is no longer made. A large storage-technical room. And a bathroom to discover on site – some things cannot be described. Water arrives filtered directly from the spring. You drink it from the tap.Outside Four terraces, four characters, four moments of the day. You do not settle on one of them – you visit them all, depending on your mood and the season. The natural pool – 60 m³ – filtered by plants, living water without chlorine, set in the landscape as if the earth had always carried it. A private path leads down to the river. At the bottom of the valley, a natural basin carved by the Galeizon for centuries. The water is cold and clear there. You slip in alone in the world and, for a moment, you forget that the rest exists. Former 60 m² honey house with project. Terraces, schist walls, space for a caravan, a vegetable garden, a yurt – or simply for leaving it empty. 112,000 m² in total.What you need to know Air/air heat pump, green flame pellet stove, boiler stove, 250 L thermodynamic water heater, geothermal energy, 8 photovoltaic panels facing southwest (12.8m²), mechanical ventilation, reversible air conditioning.
