This 17th and 18th century stone building stands in the heart of a peaceful Ardèche hamlet not far from the Coiron mountains. You are 15 minutes from Aubenas and within reasonable distance of the main transport routes of the Rhone Valley. A magnificent 175 m2 entrance porch topped with a beautiful frame takes you into a place formerly dedicated to the activity of a post house. This vast space with a bread oven and a well is currently used as a garage. The architecture of this old mixed farm is a perfect example of the buildings of the lower Vivarais. The 300 m2 habitable complex is located on cellars formerly dedicated to agricultural activity. The residence is organized around an enclosed courtyard and saving vaults open to the outside. These were able to promote the creation of two comfortable covered terraces upstairs and facing east, which you access via an imposing stone staircase. From then on, an entrance hall distributes a kitchen, a dining room, a bathroom flanked by its toilets. Three bedrooms, a welcome shared dressing room and another bathroom with its toilets are also located on this level. Two other key rooms of the house each also have independent access from the terrace. On the one hand, there is the spacious and impressive 100 m2 silkworm farm converted into a judicious artist's studio by the late painter Shedlin. We can easily imagine here the creation of a new project capable of reviving the place and conducive to all imaginations. On the other hand, the large 50 m2 living room could take the form of an exhibition room. You then access the top level of the building from the entrance hall. The attics have been cleverly transformed and converted into a communicating space along its entire length. The cosy and attractive central living room is decorated with a beautiful storage space and a confidential kitchen area. It opens first onto a corridor serving the two bedrooms and the bathroom with its toilet. Then it gives access to the adjoining office which has a very high ceiling where a mezzanine is located accommodating a new bedroom. This place, as you will have understood, reveals many pleasant surprises. The exteriors have also been enhanced with the creation of a 1500 m2 dry Mediterranean garden facing west where you can combine the virtues of relaxation and reading in complete peace and quiet and out of sight in an environment open to the fields and the neighbouring forest. The hiking and discovery trails of the Ardèche nature are at your feet and are just waiting for you.
