Timber frame house with a view of nature

In the Ardèche region, perched above a small valley, this timber-framed house, built on stilts in 1999, captivates from the moment you arrive with its unique architecture, spectacular proportions, and harmonious integration into a pristine natural environment. Designed by an architect and crafted with the expertise of a local carpenter, it exudes a warm atmosphere where the omnipresent wood interacts with the light and the surrounding landscape. Offering nearly 230 square meters of living space, this distinctive property provides an ideal layout for family life, a hospitality business, or a charming second home. The main living area is centered around a vast open-plan living room, enhanced by a cathedral ceiling and impressive exposed beams. Opening onto terraces and the surrounding nature, this inviting space is complemented by a fully equipped kitchen, a welcoming entrance hall, and a ground-floor bedroom with its own bathroom. Upstairs, a mezzanine houses a second bedroom and benefits from a large open-plan living area, further enhancing the feeling of spaciousness and connection between the different levels. On the lower level, a self-contained apartment of approximately 56 sqm is a real asset. With its own entrance, it comprises a living room with a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a shower room. This independent space is ideal for accommodating family and friends, as well as for rental or professional use. A workshop of approximately 25 sqm and several storage spaces complete the amenities of this property. Outside, the generous wooden terraces invite you to fully enjoy the surrounding tranquility, the unobstructed views, and the lush vegetation that surrounds the property. The secluded and private grounds, laid out around stone terraces, contribute fully to the unique character of this house, designed for lovers of nature and architecture. Significant renovations have been carried out over the years, particularly to the kitchen, bathroom, flooring, electrical wiring, plumbing, and woodwork, demonstrating the care taken in maintaining and adapting the property. A secluded address, less than an hour’s drive from the Rhône Valley, for those who appreciate unique living spaces, where architecture, spaciousness, and nature combine to create a rare find.
