Nature house in Nozières/Javelat Dessous
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Swimming pool
- Pets allowed
We renovated, designed and decorated this characteristic house ourselves. It stands on our private property of 3 hectares which is one of the darkest places in France. In a special "heavenly" spot you can admire the starry sky. The terrain is adventurous and varied: a private stream with 'plunge pool' (9 m2) and waterfalls; trees such as ash, oak, beech, apple, pear, medlar; yellow broom, blackthorn, lots of thyme; meadows, forest paths, sitting areas. Layout of the house: upper floor similar to the path with double bed, landing + 'desk', toilet. Middle floor: living room with French doors and open kitchen, loft, front door, outdoor terrace. In the living room there is a wood stove + wood supply. The long windows offer unobstructed views over the rolling terrain. Floor downstairs: again level with the path, 2x single beds, shower and sink, toilet. We have 3 wells, 1 well provides its own spring water. A few pieces of furniture in the house are homemade, as well as most of the art on the wall.
Nature and surroundings
The house stands on a dead-end forest path (unpaved!!) in the hills at 600 meters altitude. The nearest town, with a beautiful old part, is Lamastre (6km). There are stores, markets, cozy terraces and restaurants. Here starts the cycle route La Dolce Via, a former railroad of 90 km, to be cycled in stages; highly recommended! The area is quiet (no hectic tourism), very hilly and green, with rivers, plateaus, valleys, old volcanoes and spectacular views. The highest mountain in the Ardèche the Mezenc (1756m), and the Gerbier de Jonc (Loire rises there), are within driving distance. There are numerous walks in the area, from short to long, and often well trodden. Swimming is possible in Retourtour (4km), Labatie-d'Andaure (!) near Désaignes (village charactère) and Lac du Devesset, near St. Agrève. Near St. Peray is a spectacular ruin village Chateau de Crusol, very worthwhile. The cities of Valence and Lyon can be reached in just over five quarters of an hour.

The house is very cozy, tasteful and super well equipped. You can feel the love for the place and the artistic design creates a very special atmosphere. Luxury in solitude, bold colors, creative accents and wonderful bathrooms.
Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich, geschmackvoll und super gut ausgestattet. Man spürt die Liebe zu dem Ort und die künstlerische Gestaltung schafft eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre. Luxus in der Einsamkeit, kräftige Farben, kreative Akzente und herrliche Bäder.
The peace and quiet was wonderful. The house is very secluded on a beautiful plot with lots of nice places to sit. We used the hammock and spent the heat in the cool house during the day. In the evenings it was wonderful to play boules or darts. Even a little badminton was possible. The dog enjoyed the walks and Lamastre is a very nice place for daily errands or a visit to the bar.
Die Ruhe war wunderschön. Das Haus liegt ganz einsam auf einem wunderschönen Grundstück mit sehr vielen schönen Plätzchen zum Sitzen. Wir haben die Hängematte genutzt und die Hitze tagsüber im kühlen Haus verbracht. Abends war es herrlich Boule zu Spielen oder Dart. Sogar ein wenig Federball war möglich. Der Hund hat die Spaziergänge genossen und Lamastre ist ein sehr schöner Ort für die täglichen Besorgungen oder einen Besuch in der Bar.

The surroundings are beautiful for someone who likes silence and peace. In Lamastre you have a good supermarket, and several bakers and butchers. From the house to Lamastre is about 6km drive, through the handsome surroundings. The dolce via bicycle route is a must. Bicycles can be rented in Lamastre. For us gladly until next time!
De omgeving is prachtig voor iemand die van stilte en rust houdt. In Lamastre heb je een goede supermarkt, en verschillende bakkers en beenhouwers. Vanuit het huis naar Lamastre is het ongeveer 6km rijden, door de knappe omgeving. De dolce via fietsroute is een aanrader. Fietsen kan je huren in Lamastre.
Voor ons graag tot een volgende keer!For us the 2nd time on vacation at 'La vache perdue'. Again we had a fantastic time in this very charming house with all comforts. Good shower and a very comfortable bed.
Voor ons de 2de keer op vakantie in 'La vache perdue'. Weer een fantastische tijd gehad in dit zeer charmante huis dat van alle comfort is voorzien. Goeie douche en een heel comfortabel bed.
