Single-storey architect-designed villa with views, swimming pool and large garage

In Chambonas, in the heart of the sought-after southern Ardèche region and just minutes from the vibrant village of Les Vans, this discreet, single-story architect-designed house, built in 2005, offers an exceptional living environment. Designed with meticulous attention to volume, materials, and landscape integration, this 172 sq m villa sits on a 1860 sq m plot, offering complete privacy and tranquility. Its understated yet efficient architecture is immediately distinguished by its roof, partially clad in zinc, a noble material renowned for its longevity, impermeability, and modern aesthetic. This is complemented by double-glazed aluminum windows, ensuring thermal performance and visual comfort, which enhance the property’s contemporary character and generously open the living spaces to the garden. From the moment you enter, the bright, open-plan living area impresses with its high ceilings and abundant natural light. Large bay windows reveal the surrounding landscape and create a seamless flow between the two. Between indoors and outdoors, the living room, extending into the dining area, features a patinated wooden floor compatible with underfloor heating that diffuses a gentle, enveloping warmth. The Bulthaup kitchen, a benchmark in design and durability, is a major asset for those who appreciate high-end functionality. It notably showcases a rare centerpiece: a French-made wooden butcher block by Chabret, which embodies the spirit of the house: beauty is never an afterthought. A laundry room completes this space, ensuring optimal organization. On the bedroom side, the villa offers four bedrooms, including two beautiful master suites with en-suite bathrooms, each with direct access to a private terrace: a privilege for enjoying the morning light and summer evenings in complete tranquility and privacy. A small TV lounge, perfect for cozying up, can easily be converted into an additional bedroom. The technical features meet the expectations of a discerning clientele: polished concrete floors, optimized thermal insulation (walls, floors, roof), electric underfloor heating, a discreet fireplace for cozy winter evenings, and reversible air conditioning. The property boasts a reassuring energy rating of C. Outside, the harmony continues. Two terraces naturally extend the interior spaces, each sheltered by a bioclimatic pergola, allowing the ambiance to be adapted to the time of day and season. The 10x3m saltwater swimming pool, with its ipe wood decking, adjoining covered terrace, and technical room, blends seamlessly into the landscape, offering a beautiful haven of relaxation in the heart of the Ardèche countryside. The garden, planted with local species–olive trees, strawberry trees, bay laurels, fig trees, and mulberry trees–requires minimal maintenance and integrates perfectly into the surrounding landscape. A large, detached 50 sq m garage and a carport provide ample parking for your vehicles and plenty of storage space. The immediate surroundings add to the charm. The village of Chambonas boasts a rich heritage, exemplified by its iconic castle. Local shops include a renowned bakery, a quality restaurant, and an organic grocery store. The town of Les Vans, with its services and lively weekly market just minutes away, completes this ideal living environment. This elegant, bright architect-designed villa, conceived for high-end comfort, is a rare find in the area. Ideal as a primary or secondary residence, it will appeal to lovers of contemporary architecture nestled in unspoiled nature. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate its refinement.
