Old stones to be reinvented for this authentic Ardèche farmhouse near Vals les Bains.

This property, with its timeless charm reminiscent of authentic 19th-century Ardèche farmhouses, is located close to amenities and offers an opportunity for lovers of historic buildings and ambitious projects. Behind its rural architecture, preserved from any modern alterations, lies remarkable living potential of approximately 170sqm, extended by a large adjoining barn, a true testament to local heritage. The main living area, located on the first floor, overlooks magnificent vaulted cellars of over 110sqm and is arranged around an intimate enclosed courtyard offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside to the west and the valley and village to the east. The estate boasts several outbuildings, including a former wine cellar and beautiful terraces, inviting you to envision a bespoke development where the structural elements, such as the roofs and slabs, are already sound, while the water and electricity meters are located at the entrance to facilitate a complete renovation. The investment opportunity takes on a new dimension with the presence of a second small house of approximately 60 square meters built over cellars and another old building, currently in ruins, all set on a vast, sloping, adjoining plot of 2 hectares, dotted with pine trees and shrubs, guaranteeing total immersion in this natural setting. With a substantial renovation budget, this authentic property complex represents an ideal comprehensive renovation project to create a large family estate, develop charming guesthouses, or build an exceptional hospitality venue in harmony with the surrounding nature.
