In The Heart Of The Regional Park Of The Monts D’Ardeche

This stronghold is located in a beautiful village near Largentière and Aubenas, 1 hour
from Montélimar.

With two towers dating from the 14th and 15th century, built around a superb central
stone spiral staircase leading to three levels and an attic.

The central part was built in 1567 with the addition of watchtowers, loopholes and
machicolations on the towers by the Seigneur de la Motte de Chalendar then syndic of
the Vivarais, hiring several soldiers to defend the house and his family against looters.
At the end of the 18th century, the living room and the Florentine suite were redesigned
according to Tuscan inspiration with an Italian terrace and French ceilings.

The house develops around 600 sqm with a cellar, attics, an independent tower, a
garage, small outbuildings under the moat with a well fed by a spring.

The exteriors of approximately one hectare include five different gardens, two plots of
vines, a swimming pool.

This rather austere defense castle for its northern facade has a completely different
easterly exposure with terraces and large openings overlooking the Florentine garden
with arcades supporting the terrace and giving the whole a beautiful Tuscan villa look.

This castle remained in the same family, passed on by the ladies in 2004, when the
current owners undertook the complete restoration

On the basement level, there are various vaulted rooms, a laundry room,
the boiler room with central heating by oil-fired radiators, a vaulted cellar

On the ground floor, an entrance hall, a living room with fireplace, a dining room, a
kitchen and scullery, a bedroom with bathroom, a library, a library lounge

On the 1st floor, a suite with shower room, two dressing rooms, separate toilets, five
other bedrooms, a shower room, a billiard room

On the 2nd floor, two bedrooms, rooms currently used as attics

Then in the independent tower, a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms

Outside, large terraces, a swimming pool, various gardens, a wooded park, vineyards

Lots of charm and character, this family home is quite unique, it is very private without
being isolated because in the village, it benefits from a very nice view and very easy
access from the southern motorway.
