Château With Seven Bedrooms And Swimming Pool Overlooking The Ardèche Hills

About the Property

A 16th-century Provençal-style château, beautifully restored to preserve its Ardèche charm, is nestled on a wooded hillside with sweeping views of the Ardèche hills in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. This distinguished property, built in 1500, encompasses approximately 8 hectares and features a delightful blend of historical architecture and modern comforts. The entrance is marked by a covered carriage gateway adorned with stone pillars and a tiled roof, leading into a gravelled courtyard embellished with plants. A French formal garden, featuring elegant white rose bushes, enhances the property's refinement. The château showcases typical 16th-century Provençal architectural elements, including dressed stone elevations with lime-rendered finishes, rectangular windows framed in white, and green-painted shutters. The hipped and gabled roofs, covered in barrel tiles, are accentuated by triple-row génoise cornices. The interior comprises three levels, including a potential conversion space in the roof area. The ground floor and first floor host a total of eight bedrooms and five bathrooms, with five bedrooms specifically designed for guest accommodation, each equipped with private bathrooms. The charming interiors feature a harmonious mix of antique furniture, fine Provençal quilting, and lime-plastered walls. Recent renovations include double-glazed windows and updated roofing and insulation. The east wing of the château, originally a stable, has been transformed into an orangery and caretaker's house, connected to the main structure. The grounds are adorned with trimmed hedges, a Japanese pond, and a swimming pool that offers stunning views of the River Payre valley. A former tennis court and walking trails through the oak forest provide ample opportunities for outdoor enjoyment, making this property an ideal retreat for nature lovers.
