Castello Rinascimentale Nel Sud Della Bassa Ardèche

Just 6 km from amenities, the château is located in a village in the heart of Lower Ardèche, already Mediterranean in its climate and landscapes. This peaceful region, on the edge of the Cévennes, offers a rare natural setting, with forests, plains, and vineyards, all bathed in Mediterranean light.
The estate, in a single block, extends over 19.3 hectares, providing a preserved environment and great tranquility.

This Renaissance château, whose origins date back to the 14th century, was transformed at the end of the 15th century into a true château of pleasure, with its south-facing façade, numerous mullioned windows with interior wooden shutters, and a corbelled tower to the west. Its central hexagonal tower houses a spiral staircase that lends rare elegance to the whole. The property is partially listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments (ISMH).

With 550 m² of buildings, including 400 m² of living space, the château offers:

- A large living room with exposed beam ceiling and adjoining library, as well as two additional reception rooms.

- Two kitchens, including a vaulted summer kitchen on the ground floor, recently refurbished, as well as the main kitchen with adjoining dining room.

- Seven bedrooms, including a master suite with Versailles-style parquet flooring and an antechamber.

- Four magnificent fireplaces, stone floors, terracotta tiles, and period parquet.

- A secondary access via a stone walkway connecting the second floor to a private parking area on the estate grounds.

- Four vaulted cellars and partially convertible attics complete the property.

The property also includes the possibility of a self-contained private apartment, featuring a spacious living room with open-plan kitchen and fireplace, a bedroom, a shower room, toilets, and a utility room. An ideal setup for welcoming guests in style or providing comfortable accommodation for staff.

The exterior is equally remarkable: three vast successive Italian-style terraces with panoramic views, the first of which shelters a covered area with barbecue, an old bread oven, and a basin ready to be brought back to life. On the grounds, a magnificent period dovecote/pigeon tower recalls the estate’s history and authenticity.

The panoramic view over the Cévennes plain, facing due south, is simply spectacular!

Our opinion:
This château is truly without equal in the region: a characterful residence of rare authenticity, carefully restored with exemplary modern comfort. Its Renaissance influence is clearly perceptible in the elegance of its architecture, while offering high-quality features in an exceptional natural environment.

A property for true heritage lovers, seeking a primary or secondary residence that is almost turnkey, with strong patrimonial value and a preserved, peaceful, and inspiring setting.
