This bright and airy architect designed property was built in 1998 and is in excellent condition internally and externally. It has a habitable surface area of 257m2 and surrounding land extending to 4210m2. The accommodation is on two floors: the upper floor has an entrance hall, a large sitting room (47m3) with dining area and a wood-burning stove, a fully-equipped kitchen, separate laundry room, two large bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a further bedroom/study, a bathroom (shower, bath, 2 sinks and WC), and a separate WC. The kitchen and sitting room have direct access to south-east and south-west facing terraces, leading to the swimming pool, with magnificent views over the village, its valley and surrounding hills. The lower floor has a hall, two additional large bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, two large bathrooms (each with a shower, WC and sink), a living room with a fully equipped kitchen corner, and access to a large garage, a cave for wine storage, and a control room for the swimming pool. The lower floor may be used flexibly. It was previously run successfully as a fully self-contained gîte, and is currently used as additional family or guest accommodation. The property has oil-fired central heating, double glazing throughout, a water softener and a central vacuuming system. Fast broadband is available. Externally, the 10 x 5m swimming pool and its terrace, fenced in accordance with French regulations, offers superb views across the village and its valley. The remaining land is either grassed or planted with trees and flowering shrubs. A gravel drive provides level vehicular access to both floors of the property. The sale includes three small parcels of dense woodland extending from the public road down to a frontage with the small river which runs through the valley and the village. 
The surroundings of the property, in the heart of the Drôme Provençale, are stunning. The adjacent countryside supports a working community engaged year-round in agriculture, the land being mainly devoted to vines, fruit orchards and lavender, as well as woodlands and garrigue. The area is far from the tourist honey-pots of Provence and has not been overwhelmed by newcomers. Residents and visitors alike are attracted by opportunities to walk, cycle and drive through beautiful and peaceful countryside. Tourism is low-key and unobtrusive. The village amenities, which are all within easy walking distance of the property, include a general store, bakery, restaurant, post office, hairdresser, a domaine producing and selling organic wines, a community hall, primary school and a medical practice with two doctors. These amenities are all open throughout the year. Other services are provided in Nyons and Buis-les-Baronnies, both a short drive away. The house itself is in a quiet and calm location in a protected area, with no through traffic noise or other disturbances. It is in an elevated position with magnificent views over the village, its valley and surrounding hills. Although not isolated, the house is well-separated from its neighbours, and neither the house nor the pool area is overlooked.
