Exceptional Character Property in the Ardèche – 675 m²

In the heart of the Ardèche, in Saint-Laurent-du-Pape, 30 minutes from Valence and the TGV station, an exceptional former silk farm dating from 1820 offering approximately 675 m² of living space on an estate of nearly 2 hectares with parkland, private forest, and century-old cedar trees.

Currently operated as a guest house, the property comprises 12 bedrooms, vast reception rooms, a semi-professional kitchen, and a spectacular 200 m² orangery with ceilings reaching up to 11 meters in height, ideal for weddings, seminars, and private events.

A rare property, steeped in history and character, offering exceptional potential for a high-end tourism or event business.

Refurbishment work and energy-efficiency improvements are to be expected in order to reveal the full potential of this extraordinary property.

Built in 1820, this former silk farm offers approximately 675 m² of living space, generous volumes and a remarkable natural setting extending over 28.5 hectares.

Located just a few kilometres from Valence, in the heart of the Eyrieux Valley, the property comprises twelve bedrooms, several reception and living areas, as well as a number of additional spaces that could be further developed.

One of the property's most distinctive features is the former orangery, measuring approximately 200 m² with an impressive ceiling height of almost 11 metres. An outdoor gallery of around 252 m² further complements the main building and adds to the property's generous proportions and character.

Currently operated as a guest house, the property could continue in its present use, while also offering the possibility of other projects, subject to the relevant permissions: a private family residence, tourism-related activity, events venue or cultural project.

The 28.5 hectares provide a particularly unspoilt setting, with a genuine sense of space and privacy. A dedicated parking area provides space for residents' and visitors' vehicles. The nearby Eyrieux Valley and Dolce Via also add to the property's appeal for a tourism-related project.

Several areas remain to be developed, offering scope to adapt and evolve the property over time.

Renovation and energy-efficiency improvements will be required. These works would provide an opportunity to rethink certain spaces and unlock the full potential of this historic property.

A distinctive property combining history, generous volumes and an exceptional natural setting, offering an ideal base for a private or professional project.
