Nestling on a limestone plateau overlooking the Gorges de l’Ardèche, 35 minutes from Montélimar and Aubenas, this 190m2 architect-designed house dominates the valley and offers lovely, unobstructed views of the surrounding hills and mountains.
Here, limestone dominates, from the walls of the facades to the low stone walls that line this Mediterranean garrigue landscape, where fields of lavender bloom in early summer under the hot sun of this region of the southern Ardèche.
Olive trees, the country’s most important trees, have been planted on the plot in front of the terrace. Perfectly pruned and maintained, they produce their own olive oil. This pleasant pleasure garden requires very little maintenance.
In the distance, you can gaze out over the wild plateau of Les Gras, dedicated to nature, from the beautiful garden, planted with trees, shrubs and local plants and thought out in every detail.
Built in 2006, the emphasis has been placed on the choice of quality materials, stone and wood, in every detail of this house, which offers all the comforts of living on one level.
The main house is accessed via 2 separate entrances, opening onto a kitchen/dining room, a lounge/library, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a boiler/laundry room.
The 2 main rooms open onto a large south-facing terrace, protected from the sun’s rays by a roof that extends over the main roof.
Covered for more than 15 m, the terrace offers continuity from the living rooms and a lovely additional living space.
A summer kitchen with a plancha area has been laid out so that you can enjoy outdoor meals with family or friends when the fine weather arrives from spring to autumn.

On the west gable, a small outbuilding has been converted into a guest house or seasonal guest house with a bedroom, a bathroom/wc and a fitted and equipped kitchen/lounge opening onto a separate terrace with a summer kitchenette.
These 2 rooms have been joined together by a bespoke aluminium veranda to bring in plenty of natural light.

Designed and organised to make it a pleasant, peaceful and very comfortable place to live, with high-performance underfloor heating in reverse, heating/cooling, the house comes alive around its spacious rooms, whose spaciousness and wonderful light are a major asset.

Three other outbuildings in perfect condition complete the property:
a garage, a covered carport and a storage room for garden tools.
Every room and every feature has been designed to make this a charming, comfortable home in the middle of a beautiful natural setting not far from the main roads and amenities.
(school, shops, station, motorway, etc.).
This is a beautiful family home with an independent annex that can be rented out to supplement your income.
