Description

Nestled in a peaceful setting right next to a charming village, this property near La Bégude de Mazenc enjoys an ideal location, just 15 minutes from Montélimar and 20 minutes from the motorway. It is a location that harmoniously blends serenity, a country lifestyle, and easy accessibility.

This character property reveals an authentic yet refined atmosphere, where the charm of the past blends seamlessly with spacious interiors and an exceptional living environment. Originally a 17th-century silkworm farm (*magnanerie*), this 439 m² residence has retained its soul and many period features.

From the moment you enter, the property captivates with its warm atmosphere and generous reception areas: a vaulted living room featuring its original bread oven, a professional-grade kitchen, and a comfortable dining room enhanced by high ceilings and exposed stone walls. It is a true venue for entertaining—ideal for hosting large dinner parties, welcoming family and friends, or enjoying special moments in a setting steeped in history.

The main building offers five bedrooms—including a ground-floor suite adapted for guests with reduced mobility—as well as an independent apartment. Just a few steps away, an elegant stone building houses three fully independent en-suite bedrooms, ensuring privacy and comfort for everyone.

This unique layout lends itself perfectly to a magnificent family home where generations can gather while maintaining their independence. It is also ideally suited for a distinctive approach to hospitality: welcoming distinguished guests or hosting meetings in an intimate, warm setting, with the option to extend the experience thanks to the on-site independent accommodation. A property that elegantly combines conviviality, privacy, and the art of entertaining.

The charm is equally captivating outdoors. The landscaped grounds, spanning over a hectare and featuring a variety of Mediterranean plants and fruit trees, offer a lush, peaceful setting—perfect for relaxation and enjoying the open-air lifestyle.
At the heart of this exceptional setting, the 12 x 6-meter pool area invites you to make the most of sunny days. Secluded and seamlessly integrated into the landscape, it features a pool house and spacious sun decks, offering a magnificent view that stretches all the way to the majestic Trois Becs peaks.
A true extension of the living areas, a stunning 60 m² stone-built covered terrace—complete with a summer kitchen—promises delightful, convivial moments sheltered from the Provençal sun. Lunches in the shade, long summer evenings, and gatherings around a fine table: these are the moments that define the property’s unique lifestyle appeal.
Outbuildings harmoniously complete the estate, notably a vast 80 m² garage with a large mezzanine, offering endless possibilities for classic car enthusiasts, DIY hobbyists, or personal projects.
A rare, multifaceted property where the elegance of historic stonework, spacious interiors, and beautiful outdoor areas combine to create a true Provençal lifestyle experience.
Whether as an ideal family home, a venue for entertaining, or a unique setting combining private life with professional activity, it offers an exceptional backdrop for hosting guests, sharing moments, and fully savoring the gentle pace of life in Drôme Provençale.
