This fine architectural ensemble has been restored and built of basalt stone jointed with hemp lime. It stands on a small hillock, sheltered from view. The 360° view sweeps over the characterful villages of the Coiron massif and the sumptuous panoramas of the Ardèche mountains.
Not far from this refurbishment site are the major national documentary film centre at Lussas and the future contemporary art centre at Château d’Aubenas.
Once past the gate, a beautiful access path leads to the main building. It sits at the centre of a beautifully landscaped natural area. The reconstruction focused on brightness, insulation and modularity on the ground floor. The living room, dining room and study are open-plan living spaces with high ceilings that connect to a contemporary-inspired kitchen.
A spiral staircase in waxed concrete invites you to discover the hushed upper levels dedicated to the sleeping area. There are two bedrooms, one with a useful dressing room, and a shower room flanked by its own toilet. An intimate bedroom is housed under the roof of this former dovecote.
The outbuilding was also built with the same architectural attention to detail. This is a single-storey house with spacious rooms that flow into each other without losing any space.
The kitchen, dining room and living room are very light and airy. You will appreciate Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
