Beautifully renovated former silk farm for sale near Barjac centre

This property is presented by Knight Frank SNC.

Close to the historic heart of Barjac and its shops, this elegant nineteenth-century property enjoys enviable surroundings, offering peace and quiet while amenities are close at hand.

This former silk farm, carefully renovated in 2006 with high-quality materials, offers approximately 265 sq m of livable space, blending authenticity and modern comfort.

The property is arranged around a delightful, flowery courtyard featuring an old, still-working well with a pump – a truly characterful feature. Some superb vaulted cellars round things off, adding a strong contribution to the property's authentic feel.

At courtyard level, a former sheep barn has been converted into a self-contained studio flat with a kitchenette and shower room, ideal for accommodating family and friends or for a hospitality business.

The living areas can be reached via a magnificent stone staircase with wrought-iron balustrade, or by a lift running between the ground and first floors.

The first floor presents a remarkable, light-flooded living room with a lofty open ceiling and a stone fireplace with an insert. Following on from this, the fitted kitchen with wood-burning stove blends harmoniously into this welcoming living area. A study, a utility room, a suite with a walk-in wardrobe and a shower room round off this floor.

On the same level, a spacious terrace, shaded by a superb wisteria, extends the reception rooms and invites you to make the most of balmy summer evenings.

The second floor comprises a pleasant mezzanine (currently fitted out as a billiards room) and two bedrooms, each with its own shower room and toilet.

Of the ca. 1.4 hectares of grounds, almost a hectare is currently under cultivation by a farmer. This land can be reclaimed after the next harvest if desired.

This characterful property, a rare example in the Barjac area, features high-quality amenities: a reversible heat pump system providing underfloor heating in winter and underfloor cooling in summer, a lift serving the ground and first floors, geothermal hot water and a carport.

A property that's equally ideal as a family home or a hospitality business.
