Zeitlose Eleganz In Einer Restaurierten Seidenfarm Aus Dem 17. Jahrhundert

Character Property at the Gateway to the Gorges of Ardèche – A 17th-Century Former Silk Farm Restored with Passion
Just minutes from the renowned Gorges of Ardèche and nestled in the heart of a preserved (and non-developable) natural setting, this former 17th-century magnanery (silk farm) tells the story of a region, a craft, and a passion passed down through the centuries.

Built at the end of the 16th century during the reign of King Henry III, the estate flourished in the following century when Olivier de Serres introduced silk farming to the region. This once-prosperous domain reflects its golden age through exceptional features: a dovecote adorned with family crests, a large bread oven built in the late 18th century, and a 25-meter-long terrace resting on seven stone arches—originally used for the silk cocoon boiling process—all contributing to the property’s unique historical character.

Accessed via a majestic cypress-lined driveway and bordered by formal French gardens with carefully manicured boxwood, the estate now spans over one hectare. Lovingly restored since 2000 by a passionate couple, the property seamlessly blends noble materials, traditional techniques, and modern comforts, all while preserving the soul of its storied past.

The main house, warm and filled with natural light, offers spacious living areas on the upper level: a vast lounge with mezzanine, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room opening onto a panoramic terrace, six bedrooms (Three with en-suite bathrooms), and a shared bathroom.
On the garden level, two additional guest suites—tastefully decorated—are located in the charming independent guest house, ideal for welcoming family and friends or for developing a refined hospitality project.

The vaulted stone rooms house an intimate lounge, a remarkable wine cellar, an original bread oven, creative workshops, and additional living areas. Upstairs, two generous rooms (55m² and 45m² with 7m high ceilings) remain to be renovated, offering further potential to shape the space to your vision.

Outdoors, a 14 x 6-meter swimming pool with a pool house completes this idyllic setting.
