In Ardèche, a school converted into a family home with panoramic views.

A narrow road leads to the tranquility of a small hamlet, then ends at the church square, at the foot of the former religious school, now converted into an unusual dwelling. The house nestles below, yet sits at an altitude of 685 meters. Independent and secluded, this solid stone building embraces nature in complete serenity.
Its architecture and exterior spaces are harmoniously arranged on the hillside. The property offers 630 square meters of floor space on an 880-square-meter plot, spread over four levels, three of which are ground floor, primarily opening onto large panoramic terraces, some shaded, some sunny.
The 307-square-meter house faces south, offering unobstructed views and bright, generous spaces. The main living area, at the heart of the building, spans 100 square meters and comprises a separate kitchen, a living room, and three bedrooms. The upper floor is dedicated to five additional bedrooms, accessible via a second external staircase, making it ideal for accommodating guests. The former grassy playground, later partially sheltered by its original covered area, opens directly onto the former classrooms, which have now been converted into a living room of nearly 50 square meters and a one-bedroom apartment of 46 square meters.
The garden level also includes a separate workshop of over 50 square meters and cellars. Thanks to features such as solar panels and two wood-burning stoves, the evident efforts toward energy conservation, beautiful renovations, and regular maintenance have enhanced the comfort of the house.
The property now embodies a successful transformation of a heritage building into a more contemporary lifestyle.
