In the heart of the Pilat Regional Natural Park, southern slope, 38 km from Vienne, Art Nouveau style castle built in 1897 on 3 levels and erected on cellars in the heart of a wooded and walled park of 1.7 hectares containing a hundred plant species, an orchard and a spring. This beautiful building offers approximately 600 m² of living space as well as a caretaker's house of 65 m², three garages, 5 chalets spread over the estate which can accommodate 4 people each, and operated as guest rooms, a secure swimming pool of 12 x 6 meters and two small outbuildings used as bicycle storage and garden shed. The land has a well fed by its own spring which winds through the land. The main building has all the characteristics of beautiful bourgeois residences with its cement tiles, parquet floors and woodwork, volumes and ceiling height, fireplaces (each room has one) and is composed on the ground floor of a large hall serving two reception rooms, a living room with bow window of 11 m² and access to the pool side park, a dining room, an office, the kitchen and its pantry, and two independent bathrooms. A majestic stone staircase leads to the first floor, a large gallery providing access to 7 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shower room and 2 toilets. It continues on the 2nd floor, with a beautiful reception hall, five bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a large bathroom with bathtub, walk-in shower and sauna, 2 toilets and a kitchenette. The attic can be partly converted and is accessible from the second level. It should be noted that the two levels have a second staircase which can easily allow the building to be divided for two or three families for example. Maintenance of this property is regular: the roof, monitored every year, has been insulated. The electricity and plumbing are up to standard, the boiler is maintained. Central heating is provided by a Perge oil boiler. The boiler room is located in the cellar as well as the laundry room. The cellar is accessible from the inside but also from the outside to store garden equipment. The house has a beautiful stone wine cellar. The entire property, as well as the chalets, is connected to mains drainage. This exceptional property is located at the gates of Ardèche, 15 km from the Rhône valley, 20 km from a motorway entrance and 1 hour southwest of Lyon.
