The terraced gardens are built on a promontory to give the estate a beautiful, wide panoramic view. Its stone walls do more than highlight the 1 hectare of land that surrounds it; they create terraces and relaxation areas, and house former orchards and vegetable gardens. The management of the wells, which was useful at the time and then abandoned, has not disappeared, nor has its link with the reclaimed watercourse. The property comprises 2 buildings and offers more than 500 m² (5,305 sq ft) of floor space encompassed by 7,665 m² (7,665 sq ft) of unspoilt countryside, and the grounds are extended by around 6,000 m² (6,000 sq ft) of small clearings and moorland, through which a spring flows.
Built in the 19th century, the manor house has been extended over time to include the necessary annexes, such as a separate kitchen and cellars. The east side has now been given over to a 66 m² (666 sq ft) home with all modern comforts. It has been renovated independently of the old structure, but is still connected by the roof, its convertible attic space and a glass roof. The latter faces south and the entrance to the parklands, punctuated by a driveway with ancient trees. This house, with a floor surface area of approx. 350 m² (3,767 sq ft), now has all the benefits of recent wooden double-glazed windows and doors with espagnolettes as close as possible to the old style, and a completely new roof.
The remains of the main building, which were preserved when it was renovated, bear witness to bygone days, and are combined with a contemporary, unfinished masonry staircase that rises lightly to the second level it provides. Approximately 250 m² remain to be redesigned under this solid building.
While we wait for you, the work to be carried out on the main house contrasts with the restored wing, although its architecture already highlights a number of previous alterations, making it a rather atypical style to date.
After converting the stable into a garage and workshop, and a 165 m² outbuilding, the somewhat enlarged hayloft became a new 80 m² dwelling, with a loggia and terrace, which, although contemporary, still requires restoration work.
On the estate, an ancient pathway, through a back gate, leads you on foot to the town of Lamastre, starting with its local farmers' market. Unless you prefer the pretty historic village of Désaignes, or would like to take a dip in the gentle river just below the property. These promises of a bourgeois house in the countryside are less than 1 h 45 from Lyon in the Rhône valley, before flying off towards the Haute Ardèche.
Here again, it is possible to regain authenticity, or combine materials and styles, to design a project to your taste, to suit your needs, with a wide panoramic view and a vast plot of land sheltered from view.
