Contemporary Loft with Garden on the Banks of the Rhône

Property Description

In Andancette, where the Rhône Valley forms a natural border between Drôme and Ardèche, an early 20th-century industrial structure has undergone a spectacular transformation.

This 1,945-square-foot architect-designed loft, the result of a bold renovation of a former garage and workers' housing, stands on a 4,828-square-foot plot. Combining heritage and contemporary design, this unique property features a garden suitable for a swimming pool, a large interior courtyard, and rare potential for development, all just a stone's throw from the banks of the Rhône.
The immersion begins with a magnificent 82 m² living room, where the Eiffel-style metal structure is a striking reminder of the site's industrial past. Under a ceiling height of over five meters, the light sculpts the volumes, playing between the minerality of the travertine and the nobility of the parquet flooring. An interior glass roof delimits an inspiring office, while a glass-fronted wine cellar, built into the floor, promises moments of suspended conviviality. On the sleeping side, the ground floor has four spacious bedrooms, including a 25 m² master suite. Technical comfort reigns supreme here: underfloor heating with a heat pump and high-quality insulation guarantee an Aa energy performance rating (Dpe), a real guarantee of peace of mind.

The exterior is divided into two areas: a 90 m² inner courtyard, a true cocoon of stone and calm, and a 180 m² garden that invites relaxation. The latter offers a jealously guarded privilege: a private gate opening onto the municipal park, allowing you to reach the river in just a few steps. A 34 m² garage and an 83 m² raw space upstairs await the most creative projects, whether an artist's studio or a characterful extension. Close to schools and shops, this living space combines the unusual and the practical with disconcerting ease.

This property strikes the perfect balance between industrial heritage and modern comfort. A rare opportunity for aesthetes in search of an extraordinary space. A visit is essential to appreciate the full charm of this place.
