Former Silkworm Farm at the Gateway to the Ardèche

Property Description

Just minutes from the spectacular Ardèche Gorges and the Pont d'Arc, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 14th-century stone farmhouse exudes timeless charm in the heart of the village of Salavas, near the Renaissance town of Barjac and the region's most beautiful natural sites.

A rare property, steeped in history and character.
Tastefully renovated in 2018 while preserving its original character, this former village farmhouse offers nearly 250 sq m of living space and over 100 sq m of attic space that could be converted.

A ground floor that balances spaciousness and functionality.
The main entrance opens onto a large central hall, leading to a light-filled 60 sq m living room, enhanced by an impressive stone fireplace. An intimate room, perfect as a bar or library, complements this space. A second, recently created, independent entrance also provides access to this area. In parallel, a separate, fully equipped 20 sq m kitchen creates a welcoming and spacious living area opening onto a bright, brand-new room of over 30 sq m. A shower room and toilet compliant with accessibility standards complete this space.

To complete the ground floor, you will also find a laundry room and a cellar, adding to this property's absolute comfort.

A recently renovated entrance vestibule, several separate access points, and a fluid layout make it easy to combine private life with professional or tourism-related activities.

A floor designed for serenity
The original, majestic stone staircase is equipped with a platform lift for people with reduced mobility, demonstrating a constant focus on accessibility and comfort.

On this level, there are four spacious bedrooms, including a true double master suite (a 21 sq m office and an adjoining bedroom) with private bathrooms.

Two further large bedrooms, one of which has been restored, a new bathroom, and a dressing room complete this floor.

The upper floor offers over 100 m² of potential living space, ideal for creating a loft, an artist's studio, or additional suites for a hospitality business.

A lifestyle blending nature and heritage
Set on approximately 5,000 m² of flat, wooded land that is not zoned for building, the farmhouse enjoys a peaceful and verdant setting, completely private.

A spacious 110 m² terrace, a shaded courtyard, and a beautiful, secluded swimming pool invite relaxation and entertaining.

A well and two rainwater harvesting tanks demonstrate intelligent resource management, while the roof, completely renovated in 2017, ensures lasting peace of mind. Horse riding enthusiasts will also appreciate the two horse stalls and a separate shelter, which can be converted into a reception room or additional living space.

A prime location, between culture and nature
Just steps from the village shops, schools, restaurants, and services, this property combines quality of life, tourist appeal, and solid heritage value. The Ardèche Gorges, the Chauvet 2 Cave, farmers' markets, festivals, and outdoor activities (canoeing, hiking, mountain biking, climbing) are all within easy reach.
