Lyon 7ème

Art Nouveau château, southwest of Lyon

In the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Pilat, south-facing slope, 70 kms from Lyon, Art Nouveau-style château built in 1897 on 3 levels and erected on cellars in the heart of a 1.7-hectare wooded and walled park containing some 100 plant species and an orchard.
This beautiful building offers approx. 600 m² of living space, plus a 65 m² janitor's cottage, three garages, 5 chalets on the estate, each accommodating 4 people and used as B&Bs, a secure 12 x 6 m swimming pool and two small outbuildings used as bicycle and garden sheds. The grounds feature a well fed by its own spring and meandering through the grounds.
The main building has all the hallmarks of a fine bourgeois residence, with its cement tiles, parquet and wood panelling, high ceilings and volumes, fireplaces (each room has one). The first floor comprises a vast hallway leading to two reception rooms, a living room with an 11 m² bow window and access to the park on the pool side, a dining room, a study, the kitchen and pantry, and a toilet.

On the second floor, a majestic stone staircase leads to a vast gallery giving access to 7 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shower room and 2 wc. This continues on the 2nd floor, with a beautiful reception hall, five bedrooms, 3 shower rooms and a large bathroom with bath, Italian shower and sauna, 2 wc and a kitchenette.
The attic can be partially converted and is accessible from the second level. Both levels have a second staircase, making it easy to divide the building for two or three families, for example.
The property is regularly maintained: the roof has been insulated and serviced every year. Electricity and plumbing are up to standard, and the Perge oil-fired boiler is well maintained. The boiler room is located in the cellar, as is the laundry room. The cellar is accessible from both inside and outside to store garden equipment. The entire property is connected to mains drainage. The house has a beautiful stone wine cellar.
This exceptional property is located at the gateway to the Ardèche, 15 kms from the Rhône valley, 20 kms from a freeway entrance and 1 hour south-west of Lyon.
