Cordelle, Rhône 42123

In Roannais, overlooking the meanders of the Loire, a Forez farm from the 18th century, its sheepfold and its outbuildings. The property sits on flat ground of about 3,600 m². Access is via a porch opening onto an inner courtyard, around which the various buildings are organized. Characteristic of Forez rural architecture, the ensemble is arranged in a U-shape according to the original function of each space: main house, sheepfold, stable, barn, pigeonry, or pigsty. Today, the property comprises a main dwelling, the renovated former sheepfold and pigsty, as well as barns that have preserved their original volumes. The stone facades, old timbers and the placement of the buildings testify to the area's agricultural past. Oriented east, south and west, the farm receives abundant natural light throughout the day.
