Mérindol-les-Oliviers, Rhône 26170

In the countryside of Mérindol-les-Oliviers, in the heart of the Drôme Provençale, this stone residence of approximately 229 sqm offers a rare experience: a home perfectly integrated into its natural surroundings, where stone, light and horizon come together to create a setting of breathtaking beauty. Set in an elevated position and facing due south, the property enjoys an exceptional panorama over Mont Ventoux, the Dentelles de Montmirail, the Provençal hills and, in the distance, the Rhône Valley. A spectacular, ever-present view that accompanies every moment of the day and reveals a different character with each passing season. Entirely arranged on one level, the house charms with its flowing proportions and unmistakably Provençal atmosphere. Its approximately 70 cm-thick stone walls reflect an authentic architectural heritage, while its contemporary amenities provide an exceptional level of comfort. The spacious living room, warmed by a fireplace, forms the heart of the home. It opens onto a beautiful fully equipped kitchen and pantry, creating a wonderfully convivial setting. Three bedrooms, including a true en-suite bedroom, an office, a bathroom, a laundry room and ample storage complete this elegant and welcoming family residence. Outside, the landscape becomes an integral part of the property. The beautifully landscaped, meticulously maintained and illuminated gardens offer a variety of spaces designed for relaxation and entertaining. An approximately 12-metre swimming pool, bordered by a wooden deck, appears to merge seamlessly with the horizon. Here, a few lengths can be enjoyed with Mont Ventoux as the backdrop, in an almost dreamlike setting. Beside the pool, an independent, air-conditioned guest suite with its own shower room and WC provides family and friends with complete privacy, offering the delightful feeling of a private holiday home. A pétanque court, automatic irrigation system, garden storage, automatic gate and a generous approximately 50 sqm garage accommodating two vehicles complete the property. In terms of comfort, the house benefits from underfloor heating powered by a heat pump, double-glazed windows, high-speed fibre internet, an alarm system and mains water. Details such as the copper gutters and traditional Provençal shutters reflect the constant attention to quality throughout the property. Yet beyond its amenities, this property possesses what truly matters: soul. A place where long lunches are shared around a large table, where a game of pétanque follows an afternoon meal, where the pool is enjoyed as the sun sets over Mont Ventoux, and where summer evenings naturally continue beneath the stars. A rare home, designed for embracing the Provençal way of life to the fullest. This exceptional property is offered for sale by KRETZ, specialising in the Drôme and Vaucluse areas.
