Sale House Saint-André-de-Cruzières - 5 bedrooms

This 19th-century farmhouse nestles discreetly in its hillside setting, out of sight.

We're just a stone's throw from the beautiful Gard town of Barjac, famous for its unbelievable market, and close to the dynamic Ardèche villages of Les Vans and Joyeuse.

The aven d'Orgnac, the Grotte Chauvet and the Ribaute art gallery will hold no more secrets for you.

This stone farmhouse, formerly used for sericulture, has been lovingly restored.

You'll love its lime-grouted facades.

On the garden floor, two spacious, beautifully appointed vaulted rooms each have a private, shaded terrace and a shared pétanque court not far from the bucolic Claysse river, which meanders along the property.

Both have a separate bathroom and toilet.

The thickness of the walls ensures healthy, appreciable thermal comfort.

Beautiful vaulted ceilings, well-chosen Provencal terracotta tiles on the floor and pastel wall colours welcome you to the living space on the upper floor.

This is followed by an inspiring fitted kitchen in bleached wood, a small lounge with its cosy fireplace and a large sitting room where you can enjoy all the virtues of cocooning while immersed in a captivating John Irving novel.

Double-glazed windows, high-performance wooden shutters and a combination of electric inertia radiators and a Godin wood-burning stove optimise the comfort of this house.

A beautiful staircase, judiciously combining wood and wrought iron, leads to a landing that cleverly distributes the 2 bedrooms with their bathroom and toilet, as well as a study that could easily be converted into a small artist's studio.

One of the two bedrooms can be used as a guest room and has its own entrance and terrace via an outside staircase.

The entire sleeping area has beautiful parquet flooring with the patina of time.

A final bedroom with en suite shower room is cleverly tucked away under the roof and is sure to delight children.

An annex building houses the laundry room, workshop and beautifully concealed cellar.

A greenhouse ideally complements the open-field vegetable production.

On the contrary, the property boasts 26,000 m2 of grounds.

Four terraces overlook the house and are home to oaks, fragons, olive trees and cades.

It's easy to imagine planting olive trees or truffle oaks on the terraces, combined with a yurt-type tourist activity on the flat areas.

One of the assets of this property is the invaluable presence of two wells and a borehole on the property.

The superb, cleverly designed infinity pool with its Douglas fir terrace blends perfectly into the wooded landscape.

We are certainly in a privileged location in the Ardèche to bring together a whole family, friends or guests at a reasonable hour's drive from the motorway accesses to the Rhône valley and a TGV train station.
