Description

For Sale: Unique 11th-Century Château Set in a Spectacular Location in the South Ardèche
Approx. 450 m² living space | 4,000 m² plot | Private pool | Excellent business/rental potential
A rare opportunity to acquire a breathtaking, fully restored historical estate. Perched on a dramatic rocky outcrop in one of the most sought-after villages of the South Ardèche (near Aubenas), Château d’Ucel blends 11th-century grandeur with modern comfort. Offering approximately 450 m² of living space, a generous 4,000 m² plot, and a separate house ready for renovation, this property provides outstanding potential to combine luxury living with a high-end hospitality business.
Investment Opportunity & Guest Accommodation Layout
The château has been thoughtfully designed to ensure complete privacy for both owners and guests. It currently features four fully self-contained rental units:
● Self-Contained Gîte (Garden Level): Sleeps 2, featuring a private terrace and independent entrance.
● Family Suite (1st Floor): Spacious accommodation for up to 6 guests, offering three bedrooms and private bathroom facilities.
● Guest Suite (Ground Floor): Complete with private bathroom facilities, direct access from the inner courtyard, and a lockable connecting door to the room above.
● Tower / Panorama Room: Accessed via a characterful stone exterior staircase. Offers a generous private area, dedicated bathroom, panoramic valley views, and an internal staircase leading to the lower room.
● Owner's Private Quarters: A charming master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and space to install a private kitchen and lounge area, allowing you to retreat in complete peace during the guest season.
Spacious Living Areas & Outdoor Living
The ground floor serves as the heart of the château, exuding a unique atmosphere with its exposed stone walls and authentic period features:
● Large Country Kitchen (30 m²): Character-filled with an attractive split-level layout.
● Living & Dining Rooms: A cozy living room (23 m²) and a spacious dining room (31 m²).
● Additional Living Space: Offering direct access to a terrace with sweeping views.
● Outdoor Spaces & Pool: Multiple sun terraces, intimate courtyards, and a sleek private swimming pool built directly into the rocks, featuring panoramic views over the Ardèche landscape.
● Utility Spaces: Various cellars (including wine cellars), technical room, laundry room, and a large bicycle storage area.
● Dual Access: Accessible from the village side (via a short walk into the inner courtyard) or via a private road at the lower boundary, leading directly to the garage and pool area.
Additional Potential: Separate House to Renovate
Just outside the château gates sits a separate house featuring a lovely private garden. This property can be renovated entirely to your taste, offering the chance to significantly expand the current ~450 m² living space—ideal for a luxury caretaker's house, an extra gîte, or a private residence.
Key Features:
● Living Area: Approx. 450 m² (expandable)
● Plot Size: Approx. 4,000 m²
● Condition: Château fully restored; separate house/outbuilding to renovate
