Large property for rent in the Monts d'Ardèche National Park in the south of France (Southern Ardèche). The house offers exceptional panoramic views, a preserved natural environment (wildlife and flora), a large swimming pool (heated with a heat pump during the shoulder seasons), and a Nordic hot tub. During the summer, from June through September, a vegetable garden allows guests to enjoy fresh produce from the garden. The house is completely private. In the heart of Southern Ardèche (south), this spacious, characterful house—270 m² in size and set on 6,000 m² of land—is located in the magnificent, unspoiled Drobie Valley. The house features a large garden, an orchard, and a vegetable garden, several terraces, a huge heated pool, an old bread oven, and a clède. Five bedrooms with double beds can accommodate 10 people (one bedroom with a loft can accommodate 4 children, for a total of 12 people). The house has 5 bathrooms and 6 toilets.
Nature and surroundings
The Drobie Valley is located in the southern Cévennes, southwest of the Monts d’Ardèche National Park, so the area is surrounded by beautiful scenery. - Swimming: The Drobie River winds through the valley. It offers idyllic swimming spots with crystal-clear water. In the river, you’ll see otters, beavers, and brown trout... - Hiking: There are many long hiking trails along the valley. The famous “Le sentier des lauzes” trail runs right past the house. This route is an artistic project that aims to bring nature and art together, showcasing beautiful works by artists from around the world along a leisurely 5-hour hike. At the bottom of the valley, on the slopes, you’ll find the finest vineyards and olive groves influenced by the Mediterranean climate. During the summer, depending on the harvest, you can enjoy vegetables from the garden.
