9 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Just outside a pretty village with a village shop and its bistro, hidden amongst the forests of green oaks of the natural reserve of the Gorges de l'Ardeche one has the surprise to discover this exceptional property, a  nobleman's Bastide, dating from the 17th century, belonging to a  time when families lived  principally off the  rearing and production of silk.
Having fallen into desuetude with the decline of the silk industry, the property was practically abandoned until a new life was given with its new owners twenty years ago.
The original stone porch enters into the main courtyard with a view onto the southern façade and the pigeoneer, and the flow of the terraces ' en coursive' on the 'étage noble '
Renovated with extreme care and taste, in collaboration with local craftsmen, stone cutters and cabinet makers, it now offers approximately 600m2 of living space plus another 400m2 remaining to be converted.
The 7000m2 of land have been patiently replanted  with luscious vegetation and a beautiful 'jardin a la francaise , with box borders, lies next to the swimming pool enclosure ( 14 x 6 m ) and its pool house.
The previous agricultural buildings are now transformed into beautiful guest bedrooms, the ground floor vaulted cellars are perfect as wine cellars, technical rooms, workshops, and even cool living rooms for hot summer days.
 The imposing flight of stairs leads to the Masters' quarters: drawing room, dining room, kitchen and store rooms, with 'plafonds à la française', stone cut fireplaces and original stone features, opening on to the stunning terrace coursive running along the southern facade.
 One wing has been renovated in a more contemporary style with a mezzanine leading to three more beautiful bedrooms and bathroom, plus attic rooms partially renovated.
Another two large rooms of 45 m2 remain to be renovated, with their mullioned windows they would make a perfect artist's studio.
 With a total of 8 ensuite bedrooms, plus another supplementary bedroom, the property is extremely versatile: perfect as a large family home in exceptional surroundings or even as a tourist activity in the hospitality business.
A beautiful home for discerning owners...
