Splendide Maison De Maître Au Coeur Du Parc Naturel Des Monts De L'ardèche

This superb manor house—formerly a farm of the Cistercian monks from the Mazan Abbey—has stood the test of time while retaining all its splendor. Located not far from Aubenas in a preserved environment at the heart of the Ardèche Mountains Regional Natural Park, this property is centered around three sandstone buildings on a large plot of over five hectares, offering great potential for development. The main building, measuring 330 m2, sits atop beautiful vaulted cellars that include two wine cellars, a laundry room, the timeless medieval kitchen, the pool’s technical room, and a useful and refreshing bathroom with a toilet for after sunbathing. A wide exterior staircase invites you to discover the living areas on the first floor. A fully equipped kitchen leads to an elegant living room adorned with a beautiful fireplace, a French-style ceiling, and 12th-century stone flooring. A charming family bedroom with its bathroom and toilet completes this level, which opens happily onto a shaded terrace next to the property’s heated and secured pool. A grand interior staircase then leads to the second floor, where a corridor serves three large, bright east-facing bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with attention to detail: solid wood floors, decorative marble fireplaces, and ethnic rice paper wallpapers carefully chosen and signed by Béatrice Laval. Each bedroom has a pristine, minimalist bathroom with an Italian shower and toilet. A final flight of stairs provides access to the top floor, featuring a useful office and two spacious bedrooms with large west-facing skylights under a brand-new roof. Italian showers and toilets also enhance this comfortable and calming sleeping area. You will also appreciate the building’s thermal and acoustic comfort, thanks to excellent natural insulation materials such as wood wool and cork. Two large outbuildings, partially restored, flank the main building. One is a former silkworm farm of 145 m2 built over cellars, including two reception rooms. A striking contemporary Focus fireplace from Dominique Imbert’s workshops adorns a beautiful open space with high ceilings arranged as a large living room. A second room with independent access offers many possibilities, such as an artist’s residence. The second outbuilding of 110 m2—the former stables and hayloft—features a recent roof and new flooring, ideal for increasing living space. It opens onto a charming patio with a landscaped zen garden and a respectable porch leading to a bucolic country path. The well-maintained and enhanced grounds benefit from a clever rainwater collection and storage system that meets the watering needs of the garden and vegetable patch. Two valuable springs are also recorded on the wooded property. Beautiful clearings promise excellent space for your horses or to develop a hospitality project. A shaded chicken coop has even found its place within this environment. This attractive manor house certainly has many assets and could even accommodate an entire family, just an hour from the Rhône corridor and TGV access.
