Nestling in the heart of a green setting, in the benevolent shade of a multi-centenary lime tree, this exceptional property unfurls its charms over more than 26 adjoining hectares. Here in the Drôme des Collines, nature reigns supreme and authenticity is omnipresent. Just 40 km from Valence and 90 km from Lyon, the site offers a rare balance between soothing isolation and accessibility.

Built of local stone, this typically Drôme-style building boasts 235 m² of living space (465 m² on the ground), with the added potential of around 120 m² to be converted as you wish: master suite, artist’s studio, independent gîte… the possibilities are vast.

As soon as you enter, an airlock leads to two separate areas: a cosy 33 m² common room with an open-plan kitchen, perfect for large gatherings or country-style receptions, as well as a storeroom and a large vaulted cellar, ideal for lovers of fine wines.

The main living area comprises a 46 m² (466 sq ft) cathedral ceiling living room bathed in light thanks to a large glazed surface area, extended by an open-plan kitchen and a lounge with atypical charm. The old cow troughs have been preserved and incorporated into the decor, in a poetic nod to the history of the place. A second, more intimate 28 m² lounge completes this convivial space.
A 16 m² rough-hewn room, directly linked to the small lounge, still needs to be reinvented: it could easily become a ground-level master suite.

Upstairs, there are two separate areas that could be used as family or guest accommodation: a 27 m² mezzanine overlooks the living room and leads to an east-facing 15 m² bedroom and a large 12 m² bathroom with bath, shower, double washbasin and dressing room.
The second volume houses a 17 m² bedroom with a shower room to be finished and a 20 m² room in need of renovation. From this landing, there is direct access to a 50 m² space that has already been converted into a gîte. Accessible on the same level on the west side, it opens up even more possibilities.

The attic, the vast garage, the machine room, the workshop and the utility room provide generous, functional ancillary spaces.

Fed by five inexhaustible springs, the property is completely self-sufficient in water. This rare privilege guarantees sustainable management, ideal for livestock rearing, market gardening or agri-tourism projects. A drainage system protects the semi-buried house and ensures optimum hygiene.

The timber frame, made from local Chartreuse wood, testifies to the quality of the materials used and the care taken during restoration.

Designed with horse-riding and breeding enthusiasts in mind, the property has a full range of facilities:
– Stable with 4 boxes and covered preparation and shower areas (electricity installed, water supply ready to connect),
– Drained 40×20 m grass paddock on river sand,
– Grassed 18 m round pen,
– Two grazing sheds,
– Shed and storage tunnel,
– Saddlery and grain store in a dedicated garden shed.

The exterior reflects the image of the site: generous, poetic and inspiring. A large terrace invites contemplation, a vast gravel courtyard provides a neat backdrop, and an ornamental pond stocked with Koi carp adds a touch of Zen to the whole.

A nourishing vegetable garden runs alongside numerous fruit trees (apricot, cherry, apple, fig, mirabelle and redcurrant), while two garden sheds and a chicken coop complete this setting for independent living.

A rare property that will appeal to lovers of nature, horses and alternative lifestyles, looking for an authentic and meaningful property. A place filled with calm, space and that little touch of soul that makes all the difference.
