Dieulefit, France

Espaces Atypiques presents this architect-designed house that combines contemporary elegance with a preserved natural setting. Over 190 m² (2,000 sq ft) located just a few minutes' walk from Dieulefit, in the heart of the Drôme Provencale region, offers a rare living experience, combining refinement, light, and immersion in nature. Nestled in a dominant position on a 6,500 m² (6,500 sq ft) wooded plot, this unique property, featuring a private wood, a natural spring, and a small stream, blends perfectly into the topography of the site and seems to interact with the landscape. From the entrance, this house offers generous volumes, noble materials, and color harmonies that evoke summer. Everything here expresses the house's personality and invites serenity. The main living area, consisting of a cozy living room with a contemporary wood-burning stove, extends into a dining area and open kitchen, perfectly equipped for entertaining, cooking, and sharing. The fluid and intuitive layout makes it easy to move from one space to another, seamlessly connecting with the outdoors thanks to multiple openings and large bay windows, providing direct access to a vast terrace. This house invites you to experience an authentic lifestyle. Here, every detail has been carefully considered to enhance the art of living, in a setting where generous and inspiring nature gently interacts with elegant and functional architecture. The ground floor also houses a comfortable bedroom, a bathroom, and a large pantry. Magnificent custom-made beechwood staircases lead to the first level, serving three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a master suite that asserts its personality with its wood-burning stove, private terrace, and breathtaking forest views; it exudes incredible charm! Its private bathroom, enhanced by the exceptional light, gives it the feel of a living room, thus becoming a timeless relaxation space. A few more steps reveal the dovecote, a true natural observation deck, perfect for retreating, dreaming, writing, or welcoming a guest. In addition, there is a charming, fully equipped independent studio with a private terrace directly connected to nature. This adds a sixth accommodation option or a highly sought-after high-end rental income. This house is truly the result of intense and multidisciplinary creativity, where each architectural element seems to tell a story in a constant dialogue between interior and exterior. The exterior is just as stunning: a second terrace of over 60 m², revealing the 10x3 meter pool, becomes a veritable summer living space. It is nestled in an enchanting green setting, punctuated by multiple beauties: multi-generational trees, shaded clearings, a third terrace on stilts where one is gently lulled by the surrounding magic. A detached 30 m² garage completes the features of this house, which is still full of surprises to discover during the visit. Every corner contains an emotion, a perspective, a well-thought-out functionality. But what makes this property even more desirable is its anchoring in a vibrant and inspiring area. Dieulefit, the capital of crafts and cultural excitement, is just a few minutes' walk away. You'll find everything you need for an active and fulfilling life: local shops, schools, healthcare professionals, organic markets, art galleries, local restaurants, and cultural events. The region is also prized for its outdoor activities, hiking, hilltop villages, and the light so characteristic of the Drôme Provencale region. In short, this unique residence combines all the ingredients.
