Full Description


In the heart of Joyeuse, just steps from the renowned local market, gourmet shops, public services, and farmers' market, lies Villa Saint Georges with its beautiful exterior. This elegant property, begun in 1907, captivates with its distinctive architecture, notably three monumental arches that create a private loggia, a true haven of tranquility between the village's lively atmosphere and the intimacy of the home. The entrance immediately reveals the building's character with its central stone staircase featuring a wrought-iron and wooden banister and a marble base. The ground floor is bathed in light, offering a serene atmosphere in the living room with its fireplace insert and the dining room, two beautifully laid-out spaces. The fully equipped kitchen is ideally oriented to the north to retain natural coolness and opens onto the reception areas. On the same level, an artist's studio, complete with a laundry room, office space, and a private terrace, provides direct access to the garden. A first level of comfort is provided by a shower room with an adjoining toilet. Upstairs, a spacious landing furnished with a bookcase cleverly leads to the sleeping area. The three bedrooms, including a large master suite with a decorative fireplace, dressing room, and bathroom, also boast high ceilings. From one of them, the view extends to the Château de Joyeuse, offering a unique historical panorama. The second level also includes a shower room with a toilet, ensuring complete independence. The exterior is a true extension of the house. On the 300 sqm south-facing plot, a pergola with stone columns shelters a large terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. The meticulously landscaped garden displays old roses, maples, olive trees, and other ornamental shrubs. An inner courtyard provides ample parking for two to three vehicles and complements the garage/workshop. The property also includes a woodshed, two water points, and a rainwater harvesting system. The basement houses two cellars, one dedicated to wine storage and the other containing a well, the water from which could be used to irrigate the garden. Villa St Georges combines the charm of the original structure with modern technical renovations, including an air-to-water heat pump, cellulose wadding insulation, and double-glazed windows with wooden shutters. This harmonious town house, offering the immediate proximity of local life to the tranquility of a preserved garden behind its iconic arches, will meet a variety of needs: whether as a welcoming family home, a privileged second residence, or an ideal setting for an artist's retreat.
