Barjac, Languedoc-Roussillon 30430

CORINNE LAURENT AND BÉRENGÈRE JOURDAN OF AGENCE REGARD PRESENT THIS EXCEPTIONAL ESTATE, WHERE HISTORY, STONE, AND THE SOUTH OF FRANCE LIFESTYLE MEET. Between Provence, Gard and Ardèche, a few kilometres from Barjac, the Aven dOrgnac, and the Ardèche Gorges, discover a rare property: a former silk-worms barn from the 18th century, remarkably restored with respect for its history and authenticity. Behind its stone walls, the property develops nearly 953 m² of living space in total, including an independent former sheepfold of 145 m², also fully renovated. From the entrance, the charm operates. Ancient vaults, stone, period fireplace, majestic volumes and preserved architectural elements bear witness to several centuries of history, while refined renovation provides all the comfort expected of a residence of this scale. The superb vaulted entrance hall leads to a characterful kitchen with an old fireplace and scullery. The main room of the house is a spectacular 92 m² reception hall, offering an exceptional setting to welcome family and guests. A living room, an office, and a first bedroom with an en-suite bathroom complete this level. The upper floors are organised around large halls and landings and host, notably, eight master bedrooms, several of which have their own en-suite bathrooms and private toilets. An ideal configuration to combine conviviality and privacy. A large terrace naturally extends the living spaces and invites full enjoyment of the mild southern climate. On the top floor, a remarkable 42 m² room, currently set up with a bar and a water point, offers multiple possibilities: private lounge, music space, reception area, or convivial space. A mezzanine bedroom with en-suite shower and toilet completes this space. Continuing from the main house, the former stone sheepfold constitutes a true independent dwelling. Fully restored, with new structure and roof, it develops 145 m² of living space, including nearly 100 m² upstairs, and benefits from a terrace as well as a bedroom with en-suite shower and toilet. A double garage completes this ensemble. Outside, the property sits on a plot of about 2,200 m² in a peaceful and preserved atmosphere. In the heart of this haven, a spectacular 15 x 7 metre swimming pool invites you to enjoy long summer days, terrace lunches, and evenings with friends. This residence possesses that extra soul unique to properties that have stood the test of time: the charm of stone and the patina of history combined with oversized volumes and the comfort of contemporary renovation. By its size and layout, it lends itself to multiple projects: exceptional family residence, holiday home, event property, charming bed-and-breakfast, or high-end guest rooms. Energy performance: C. MORE THAN A PROPERTY, A TRUE DESTINATION. A CONFIDENTIAL PLACE, RICH IN HISTORY, FOR THOSE SEEKING EXCEPTION.
