Charming Farmhouse for Sale Near the Cévennes

Property Description

On the edge of the Cévennes National Park, in the municipality of Tornac, this remarkable historic property is offered for sale.

It enjoys an exceptional natural setting, at the heart of an estate of approximately 37 hectares composed of woodland, meadows, olive groves, terraces and preserved Mediterranean vegetation.

Probably a former silkworm farm, this characterful mas offers a rare atmosphere, combining authenticity, generous volumes, quality construction and spectacular views over the Cévennes and the surrounding forests. Behind its stone walls and entrance gate, it reveals a charming arrival area enhanced by a majestic plane tree and a fountain. The property is arranged around double inner courtyards, with an elegant restored square dovecote at the centre of the courtyard, a true signature architectural feature.

The main building extends over three principal levels, complemented by workshops on the lower garden level. The ground floor features superb vaulted reception rooms, including a large summer dining room with a stove and former pizza oven, a vast vaulted living room opening onto a large conservatory, as well as several technical areas: garage/laundry room, air-conditioned wine cellar, boiler room and service rooms. An independent apartment in the East wing allows family, guests or staff to be accommodated, with a living room, bedroom and two shower rooms.

The first floor, served by a gallery typical of large Cévennes farmhouses, contains the main living areas. It includes an entrance hall, a spectacular living room of approximately 60 m² with ceiling heights of around 4.5 m, a majestic functional stone fireplace and a mezzanine overlooking the second level. The Provençal tiled kitchen opens onto the terrace and gallery. Several bedrooms, an office that could become a beautiful bedroom, as well as a superb master suite with a large bathroom, sauna, shower, bathtub and separate Wc complete this level. A library lounge with fireplace and wood-burning stove also opens onto the gallery and terraces.

The large panoramic terrace of approximately 78 m² is one of the property's highlights, offering a dominant and exceptional view over the Cévennes. The second floor provides a more intimate atmosphere, with attic bedrooms, mezzanines, shower rooms, a living room with a 1970s architectural fireplace, kitchenette and several terraces, including a rooftop terrace.

On the lower garden level, two large successive workshops provide excellent storage, maintenance or working spaces. Outside, the pool area forms a true living space facing the Cévennes. The 12 x 6 m swimming pool, completely renovated three years ago, benefits from a sand-coloured reinforced concrete liner, an Aqualux heat pump, chlorine treatment and a borehole water supply. A covered pool house with Wc and washbasin completes the ensemble.

The estate also includes an independent caretaker's house with two bedrooms, ideal for accommodating staff, family or guests in complete autonomy.

Original terracotta floor tiles, terracotta paving and parefeuilles tiles, stone walls, Salernes tiles, double and triple genoise roof cornices, glazed balusters, numerous terraces, rare volumes and panoramic views combine to create a property of authentic, solid and deeply Cévennes character, in a preserved and high-quality natural environment.
