At Collet-de-Dèze, nestled in a natural Cévenol setting, this ancient schist stone farmhouse with its converted chestnut drying house and over one hectare of land compose a singular property steeped in history.
Likely built between the late 17th and early 18th century, the farmhouse seduces with the remarkable regularity of its dressed stone, ancient beams and vaulted cellars. Its construction bears witness to craftsmanship attentive to the longevity of the building: erected from the outset on a slab allowing natural water drainage, it benefits from ingenious protection against moisture.
The main house offers a vast living area of 55 m² with open kitchen, dining space and lounge. Two additional lounges, one featuring a Godin stove with adjoining bathroom, extend the reception areas. Upstairs, a 32 m² office with cathedral ceiling reaching 3.40 m, three bedrooms, a dressing room and a bathroom.
Formerly a chestnut drying house, the converted building has been arranged for guests: room with kitchenette on the ground floor, bedroom and bathroom upstairs. It hosted guesthouse activity between 2011 and 2021.
Three terraces adjacent to the farmhouse and a fourth beneath the hazelnut trees invite you to enjoy the landscape. A wooden above-ground swimming pool completes the outdoor spaces. The 10,006 m² of land is divided into twelve adjoining or separate plots. The property benefits from water rights, spring-fed water supply with filtration and fiber optic connectivity.
The schist walls measuring 60 to 75 cm contribute to thermal inertia. Vaulted cellars, utility room and attic complete the ancillary spaces. Propane and wood heating; wooden double-glazed windows.
