Vinezac, Rhône 07110

Nestled in Southern Ardèche... Just one hour from major road networks and a TGV high-speed rail station. France, renowned for its rich religious heritage and its diverse, captivating landscapes, offers countless destinations ideal for spiritual retreats, whether one seeks inner peace or simply a place to recharge and reconnect. This former Cistercian farmstead, once an outbuilding of one of the oldest abbeys in the Vivarais region, is nestled in the heart of the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Natural Park, just a short distance from Aubenas. Set within more than 5.7 hectares (14 acres) of beautifully landscaped and wooded grounds, the property features a heated and secure swimming pool and three stone buildings, including a magnificent 330 sq m (3,552 sq ft) main residence. This timeless estate harmoniously combines charm, authenticity, serenity, and modern comfort. Arranged around a remarkable courtyard of distinctive architectural character, the buildings provide an exceptional setting for welcoming guests. The property offers six spacious and comfortable bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and high-quality amenities. Throughout the residence, noble materials enhance the atmosphere: solid wood flooring, exposed beams, traditional French ceilings, and a rare 12th-century stone floor. A study completes the accommodation. Built above vaulted cellars, the kitchen reveals a unique medieval ambiance. The estate also includes an approximately 80 sq m (861 sq ft) wine cellar, as well as workshops and outbuildings totaling around 70 sq m (753 sq ft). Between the main residence and the annex buildings lies an authentic and spacious terrace of approximately 50 sq m (538 sq ft), shaded by a majestic lime tree. Several partially renovated outbuildings within a former silkworm house include a striking 70 sq m (753 sq ft) cathedral-style reception hall equipped with a wood-burning stove, as well as a former chapel offering approximately 80 sq m (861 sq ft) of floor space, with the possibility of development over two levels. Together, these spaces offer outstanding potential for additional guest accommodation or the hosting of private and professional events. The landscaped grounds benefit from an ingenious water management system, including a natural spring feeding a vaulted reservoir of approximately 140 cubic metres and a rainwater collection system. The estate provides an ideal setting for equestrian, agricultural, hospitality, or wellness-related projects. Your contact: Julien BOTELLA - Agency fees payable by the seller.
