Rhone Alps, Ardèche, Bourg-St-Andéol, France

A26064JB07 - Characterful country house with panoramic views, a swimming pool and excellent B&B potential near Bourg-Saint-Andéol

Set on a beautiful hilltop, just 5 kilometres from Bourg-Saint-Andéol in the Ardèche and close to Viviers, lies this exceptional and spacious country house. The location is truly unique: from the property, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, with Mont Ventoux providing an impressive backdrop. Thanks to its excellent accessibility from the Rhône Valley and its proximity to all amenities, this is an ideal location for both permanent residence and a tourist business.

With no fewer than ten bedrooms, spacious living areas and various outbuildings, this characterful property offers an exceptional range of possibilities. It is perfectly suited as a spacious family home, but thanks to its layout, it is also ideally suited as a bed and breakfast, chambres d’hôtes or guest house. The former outbuildings and cellars also offer ample storage space and can be converted for a variety of purposes if desired.

The grounds feature ample parking for several vehicles, a spacious summer kitchen and a pool house that can easily be converted into a self-contained gîte or additional guest accommodation.

Although the property borders a neighbour’s house on one side, its location ensures complete privacy. A private well supplies water to both the garden and the swimming pool. The house is heated by gas-fired central heating. A new septic tank will need to be installed.
