Attractive Ardèche Farmhouse with Character, Swimming Pool and Outbuildings on Remarkably Wooded Gro

Property Description

This 230 sqm character property, carefully renovated and built on cellars, is located in the heart of a peaceful, preserved environment, 23 km from Aubenas and close to major renowned natural sites. It benefits from a 1.6 ha plot of land organized into perfectly maintained terraces where olive trees in production with integrated irrigation, chestnut trees, white oaks, holm oaks, and truffle trees flourish fully alongside other fruit trees. A permanent borehole supplies the house and gardens. The city's water network is also well established. A large 200 sqm deactivated concrete parking lot welcomes you, with a welcome carport within. Past the charming entrance porch, an intimate grassy interior courtyard invites you to discover the building's vaulted cellars on the garden level, where a possible artist's studio or bedroom, a beautiful space housing a workshop and a small wine cellar, and a boiler room with a shower and toilet, follow one another. A fourth vault has been converted into a spacious garage offering three spaces for your 'racers.' A local stone staircase leads to a vast terrace offering a magnificent unobstructed view of the green countryside. You then enter the second level into the attractive and warm 50 m2 air-conditioned cathedral-style living room opening onto the exterior, where an imposing 'Focus Creation' fireplace with its open hearth stands. This space also has underfloor heating. You will appreciate, among other things, the beautiful maple wood wall cladding. A fitted kitchen in solid chestnut discreetly connects with the adjoining dining room. The sleeping area reveals a beautifully crafted master suite with its charming bathroom covered with teak parquet flooring and elegant marble tiles. A separate toilet skillfully flanks this space. A corridor adorned with a dressing room and a toilet leads to two other nicely appointed bedrooms with a shared bathroom. The latter benefit from independent exterior access, convenient for small rental use, for example. The connection to the upper floor is via a beautiful staircase crafted by a local ironworker. You then enter the mezzanine area elegantly converted into an office adorned with a beautiful custom-made solid oak bookcase and a useful storage area. Two attic bedrooms with chestnut parquet flooring, a shared bathroom with toilet and a dressing room punctuate the discovery of this last level. The well-kept exteriors also reveal a splendid recreational area arranged around a high-end swimming pool and an ideally renovated beach. A well-equipped summer kitchen, heated greenhouse, old village bread oven, technical room with sink, shower and toilet mark the premises in the immediate vicinity of the farmhouse. Finally, note the presence of a useful independent garage in lime-pointed stones with a lean-to essential for storing maintenance work equipment. Thus, this farmhouse, as you will have understood, offers a privileged environment one hour from the transport routes of the Rhône Valley for a large family looking for an oasis of tranquility in the heart of southern Ardèche, a stone's throw from the magnificent swimming spots of La Baume.
