Chassiers, Rhône 07110

Nestled in the peaceful Ardèche hamlet of Chassiers, a designated 'village of character' with its listed churches, this 18th-century stone farmhouse charms with its meticulous renovation, artist's studio, and rental options comprised of two self-catering cottages. The property, with its former wine cellar and four cellars, sits on an adjacent building plot within the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Natural Park. Two entrances, one at ground level, provide access to the heart of the main house, which is clearly laid out over two levels. The main entrance, via a staircase attached to the house, leads to a bright, south-facing covered terrace. This terrace provides easy access to the open-plan kitchen, equipped with a beautiful custom-designed central island and an efficient range cooker. This bright, open space flows into a comfortable living/dining room, which also features an outdoor terrace with views of the village. Three bedrooms, two shower rooms, and two toilets complete the sleeping quarters. The cleverly designed attic floor features a mezzanine area with a reading nook opening onto a large living room, a bedroom with a study area, and a toilet. A relaxation space could easily be created on this level. Two other buildings are cleverly connected to the farmhouse: - Firstly, a former agricultural outbuilding, recently renovated on both levels and successfully converted into a guesthouse offering two- and three-bedroom (F2 and F3) holiday rentals. A small workshop on the ground floor also offers rental potential. - Secondly, a bright, heated, and well-insulated 70sqm artist's studio is cleverly tucked away under the main farmhouse terrace, beautifully finished with dressed stone and Douglas fir cladding. It's easy to imagine this space, dedicated to artistic inspiration, being converted into a third holiday rental. This recent extension blends in perfectly with its surroundings. It's also worth highlighting the excellent overall thermal insulation of the building, achieved with natural materials, the judicious application of breathable lime plaster, and the presence of double-glazed chestnut and aluminum window and door frames. Heating is largely provided by a high-performance wood pellet boiler housed in one of the vaulted cellars. Solar thermal panels ensure the production of domestic hot water. The exterior features a lovely recreational area surrounding a secure 4x3m swimming pool with a paddling pool and exposed aggregate concrete deck. Private parking spaces are, of course, available on the property for guests staying in the gîte. A large, terraced plot of 4500 sqm, sheltered from view, adjoins the farmhouse and its summer kitchen. It accommodates numerous fruit trees, vegetable garden plants, a garden shed, and a chicken coop. A valuable, year-round spring provides water for the gardens, swimming pool, and toilets of the main house. The building potential of the land offers an excellent opportunity for expansion or the creation of a new property, whether it be an additional dwelling, a third gîte, or a bespoke leisure space. You are undoubtedly in the heart of a privileged area of the Ardèche, not isolated and easily accessible from the Rhône Valley. Essential shops are just a few kilometers away. The existing commercial activity generated by the gîtes will be an undeniable asset, whatever your acquisition project.
