A 1904 Hydrotherapy Centre Converted As A Family Residence In Parkland, At The Foot Of The

A 1904 hydrotherapy centre converted as a family residence in parkland, at the foot of the Vercors Mounts, 30 minutes from Valence’s TGV train station. The Beaugaris site has been renowned since antiquity, with its reputation forged by the ‘Roman’ spring.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Dr. Riory had a hydrotherapy centre built on the site of the mineral water spring and a hotel was built in 1904.

The property, which stretches over 10 hectares and includes two springs as well as four outbuildings, can be reached via a blue-painted metal gate at the end of a no-through road. After the estate’s former stables, a second wrought-iron gate leads to other constructions, some of which are habitable and others not: the vaulted edifice housing the source, the former hotel which is now a house, a pavilion and a barn, all of which are adjoined. The sober facades of the various buildings are made of rubble stone and pointed ashlar, or in rendered concrete. Their gabled or hipped roofs are made of terracotta tiles or sheet metal.

The rectangular main edifice faces south and has a surface of approximately 460 m² spread over five levels, almost all of which have been renovated, with a modern around 30-m² veranda, convertible attic space and ventilated cellars. The house contains twelve spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms or shower rooms. There is a separate apartment on the third floor whose renovation requires completion.

The separate pavilion, built near to a corner of the main house, has a surface of approximately 65 m², has been restored and boasts a terrace. It is made up of a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom as well as a kitchen area and could be suitable as a winter apartment.

Not far away, the approximately 150-m² barn standing behind the main dwelling houses a bread oven and could be used for hosting receptions or conferences.

Beneath the terrace adjoining the pavilion, the around 30-m² vaulted building housing the thermal spring could be transformed into a winter lounge.

Lastly, the approximately 100-m² building that was originally the stables could be transformed into accommodation amongst other possibilities.

The estate also possesses a former spring water collection pond that has today been transformed into a 11-metre by 5-metre swimming pool with a sliding cover and panoramic decking.

The main house, pavilion and pool have been renovated in the last five years by the current occupants.
