At the tip of a picturesque hamlet in the Ardèche, one of those that cling to the side of a slope, protected from the north winds, it basks in the light and warmth of the south. Those where you don’t go anywhere, you go back, but only after contemplating the panorama and enjoying the peace and quiet. This old stone house is as close to this reality as you can get and makes the most of everything it has to offer.
The bay window, which stands out in the distance, is a sign of her intentions, and it is from this wide opening that the house is built, over 2 levels. The house takes root at the foot of the lane, where it opens onto 2 cellars and 1 workshop, which you will have to bypass to reach the opposite ground floor of the house. The shaded terraces face approx. 2,000 m² of sloping, grass-covered land. They are ideal for dining or relaxing, protected from view, at the door of 2 bedrooms and at the entrance to the 60 m² living space. The living area, warmed by a wood-burning stove, has the kitchen at its heart and the advantage of a platform overlooking the lounge. Upstairs, the mezzanine is given over entirely to the master bedroom, including a bathroom that we wanted to offer as much of the room as possible so that it can also look out over the mountains and valleys.
The swimming pool, which has just been created, stretches out in the continuity of the renovated building, like a spectator of nature, and is sure to enhance any fine weather. This authentic corner of the countryside is a pleasure to live in, with its discreet neighbours just 1 hour 35 minutes from Lyon and 35 minutes from Tournons and Tain l’Hermitage. What’s more, Lamastre’s amenities are just 5 minutes away. Your car can be stored under the awning that follows a 40 m² outbuilding. An independent gîte could be created from this old house in need of renovation. This unusual property has not said its last word.
