Property description
At the the limit of the Gard with the Ardeche, at just 40 minutes from Uzes, situated in the centre of silk production in days gone by, this former spinning mill, witness to the history of this beautiful region, has profited from an extraordinary renaissance thanks to the care of the couple of artists who have renovated it with style and love.
With more than 400 m2 of useful space, it offers a purely residential area of more than 300 m2 with, moreover, several rooms dedicated to exhibitions, and large sculpture workshops. On the first floor a beautiful open plan living space of 70 m2 is composed of a fully fitted kitchen, dining room and living room with a stone fireplace. With its high ceilings, generously lit by the six magnificent tall windows, this room provided a maximum of light during the long working days of the silk spinners of the nineteenth century. A large bedroom, with its bathroom, completes this floor. On the second floor is a reading room, plus three bedrooms and a shower room with WC. The ground floor, formerly part of the living area, is now reserved for the public art gallery. Also a kitchen and bathroom with WC. Two rooms are dedicated to the sculpture workshop, which opens onto a large covered terrace of 51 m2 overlooking the grounds.
The dovecote, with its remarkable varnished tiles, houses a charming guest room. Another outbuilding shelters a bedroom with shower room.
The grounds of over 4 acres, boasting an array of century old trees and its swimming pool of 9 x 4.5 m, are bordered well below by the river, but without any risks.
More than a home, this is a haven of peace, conducive to both contemplation and creation ...
