Charming, intimate farmhouse with large wooded grounds and spacious swimming pool

Just minutes from the historic center of Les Vans, this former 19th-century silkworm farm is nestled in a stunning natural setting. Highly sought after for its vibrant cultural scene, gourmet shops, and its unforgettable weekly market–a colorful local institution that draws enthusiasts of regional products–the town offers all the amenities and services needed for daily life. An hour and twenty minutes from the Rhône Valley, this property provides an oasis of absolute serenity in the heart of an 8,260 sqm wooded park. Completely redesigned by an interior decorator, the building combines a sophisticated aesthetic with modern comforts, comfortably accommodating up to 17 people. The interior layout creates a seamless flow between the social spaces and the relaxation areas. The heart of the house is organized around a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious living and dining room that opens onto a large 42 sqm terrace. Set back in a dedicated wing of the building to ensure complete tranquility, the spacious 45 sq m air-conditioned living room boasts a magnificent volume beneath exposed beams, warmed by an efficient wood-burning stove. The architect’s touch is evident throughout, skillfully blending characterful furnishings with warm tones. The reception area is spread over several levels, taking advantage of the building’s inherent thermal properties. The ground floor houses a studio suite, compliant with accessibility standards, complete with a kitchenette. Located in a former vaulted cellar, it maintains a pleasant, constant coolness, ideal for Ardèche summers. On the upper floors, three elegant, air-conditioned family suites are each individually decorated. Each features a private shower room or bathroom with WC, all in a chic, contemporary style, reflected in the subway-style tiles and elegant fixtures. The top floor, under the eaves, also features a playful mezzanine for children, making full use of the roof’s verticality. A separate, air-conditioned, ground-floor apartment guarantees uncompromising comfort. This private retreat offers a living room with an open-plan kitchen, a comfortable bedroom, a shower room with WC, and a bright small room. The property’s logistics are enhanced by a laundry room, a garage/workshop, a utility room, and two separate parking spaces, ensuring privacy for each resident. From a technical and environmental standpoint, cellulose wadding insulation, double glazing, and a 4 kWh photovoltaic system ensure optimized energy management. The secluded, wooded grounds include a 13m x 7m heated swimming pool with a pool house, a pétanque court, and numerous green spaces dedicated to leisure activities. This turnkey property is an opportunity for those who want to combine historical heritage, interior design, and the discovery of unspoiled nature, all just a stone’s throw from the vibrant town of Les Vans. An ideal retreat for families seeking a welcoming place and a restorative sense of well-being!
