Description
Just outside a pretty village with a village shop and its bistro, hidden amongst the forests of green oaks of the natural reserve of the Gorges de l'Ardeche one has the surprise to discover this exceptional property, a nobleman's Bastide, dating from the 17th century, belonging to a time when families lived principally off the rearing and production of silk. Having fallen into desuetude with the decline of the silk industry, the property was practically abandoned until a new life was given with its new owners twenty years ago. The original stone porch enters into the main courtyard with a view onto the southern facade and the pigeoneer, and the flow of the terraces en coursive on the upper level. Renovated with extreme care and taste, in collaboration with local craftsmen, stone cutters and cabinet makers, it now offers approximately 600m2 of living space plus another 400m2 remaining to be converted. The 7000m2 of land have been patiently replanted with luscious vegetation and a beautiful jardin a la francaise, with box borders, lies next to the swimming pool enclosure ( 14 x 6 m ) and its pool house. The previous agricultural buildings are now transformed into beautiful guest bedrooms, the ground floor vaulted cellars are perfect as wine cellars, technical rooms, workshops, and even cool living rooms for hot summer days. The imposing flight of stairs leads to the Masters' quarters: drawing room, dining room, kitchen and store rooms, with plafonds a la francaise, stone cut fireplaces and original stone features, opening on to the stunning terrace coursive running along the southern facade. One wing has been renovated in a more contemporary style with a mezzanine leading to three more beautiful bedrooms and bathroom, plus attic rooms partially renovated. Another two large rooms of 45 m2 remain to be renovated, with their mullioned windows they would make a perfect artist's studio. With a total of 8 ensuite bedrooms, plus another supplementary bedroom, the property is extremely versatile: perfect as a large family home in exceptional surroundings or even as a tourist activity in the hospitality business. A beautiful home for discerning owners...contact us today to find out more.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in France will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £59,166 more.
