A historic estate in the Ardèche

The gentle sound of the Aygueneyre, the wind through the trees and the space of a landscape stretching out around your home. In Rochepaule, in the green heart of the Ardèche, this estate offers a setting where peace and privacy feel entirely natural.

A 16th-century maison forte and a former farmhouse dating from 1784 form a distinctive ensemble. Both have been fully renovated, preserving their historic character. Centuries-old walls give the house its particular atmosphere, while contemporary comfort makes it a place to enjoy throughout the seasons.

The estate offers approximately 238 m² of living space, with seven rooms including four bedrooms, together with additional outbuildings. There is room for everyday life, extended stays and welcoming family and friends.

Outside, the heated saltwater pool sits amidst the greenery. Approximately 51.74 hectares of predominantly wooded land provide an exceptional degree of privacy. Its own spring water and the stream below the house deepen the connection with nature.

A morning walk on your own land, an afternoon by the pool, a long evening around the table: here, the day takes on a different rhythm.

The surrounding countryside invites exploration. Nearby Lac de Devesset offers opportunities for swimming, sailing and walking.

For cycling enthusiasts, the estate makes an appealing base. Quiet, rolling roads wind through woodland and characterful villages, opening onto expansive views. From a leisurely morning ride to a longer route with challenging climbs, the landscape can be discovered at your own pace. The region also hosts L’Ardéchoise, the renowned annual cycling event that brings thousands of enthusiasts together on the roads of the Ardèche.

Golfers will find a varied 18-hole course at Golf du Chambon-sur-Lignon, designed by Michel Gayon in a wooded, undulating setting at the foot of Mont Mézenc and the Suc du Lizieux.

Around twenty to thirty minutes’ drive away, Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid is a destination for lovers of fine food. Here, Restaurant Marcon, awarded three Michelin stars, celebrates the flavours of the region at the highest level.
