Maison De Famille Construite Autour D'une Chapelle Désacralisée Avec Vue D'exception

Facing the Vercors, an old chapel perched high is reinvented as a family home in the heart of a medieval village, between the coolness of its springs and a 180° panorama. Ideally situated on the heights of the old town of Allex, this unique property offers approximately 200 m² of living space on a landscaped terraced plot of about 3,600 m². This characterful home features spacious, welcoming areas, natural ponds, and a spectacular panoramic view over the Drôme valley and the Vercors ridges. It strikes a rare and subtle balance between tranquility, the view, and immediate walking access to village amenities. The main entrance opens directly into a living room of about 40 m² centered around a large fireplace. The adjoining room is the true heart of the house: a former medieval chapel, now transformed into an intimate and cozy lounge of over 15 m². Its vaulted ribbed ceilings and original niches create a unique, enveloping, almost mystical atmosphere. This garden-level floor also includes a traditional wood-charmed closed kitchen, a functional cellar/storage room, a laundry room, a bathroom with WC, and a large 25 m² additional room that can serve as a playroom, artist’s studio, or be converted into a bedroom if needed. Upstairs, the landing leads to a sleeping area ideal for a large family or remote work. It consists of three spacious bedrooms measuring 14, 15, and 16 m², plus three additional rooms of 9 m² each, perfect for children’s bedrooms or quiet offices, most offering beautiful views over the valley. An independent bathroom and separate WC complete this floor. This particularly sound structure offers a superb blank canvas for targeted contemporary updates (kitchen, bathrooms). Outside, the large landscaped garden of over 3,500 m² was designed by a landscape architect. Structured into vast traditional terraces and suitable for a pool, it provides a peaceful environment with complete privacy. A natural spring runs through the property, feeding three successive outdoor ponds, valuable for summer cooling and ensuring autonomous irrigation of the Mediterranean vegetation. For shared moments, a large terrace shaded by a leafy pergola offers an exceptional setting for entertaining, facing the spectacle of the Vercors. Benefiting from a sought-after location in the heart of Allex, the property allows walking access to all daily conveniences (local shops, services, schools). At the crossroads between town and nature, the village enjoys a privileged geographic position: just 10 minutes from Crest, 20 minutes from Valence South, and less than 30 minutes from Valence TGV station and the A7/A49 motorways. Energy rating: D. Greenhouse gas emissions: D (rating affected by the current oil heating system). With the overall insulation of the attic already optimized, simply switching to a modern heat pump system will upgrade the house to energy class C.
