This nature house is an old schoolhouse from 1900 which is high in the mountains and too far from the village for the children of the farms nearby. So a small school was built with 1 classroom where the teacher lived upstairs (like in the movie être et avoir). So it's an old house which is not specially decorated for rental but for ourselves. So don't expect a super luxury house but with taste and lots of modern art and complete and atmospheric. The garden of about 50 by 25 meters is completely walled with an old wall. The living room is large because is the whole old classroom. there are 4 bedrooms and a sleeping loft in the living room. Two bedrooms with double beds, 1 bedroom with bunk beds and a sofa bed, 1 bedroom with a single bed and a doubter and on the sleeping loft a double bed. There is a small pool which gets its water from a pipe high up in the stream.

The nature house is located in regional natural park les mont d'ardeche in a small hamlet of about 12 houses scattered ... From the house you can walk into the woods. The medieval town Desaignes with its castle/museum, baker, grocer, butcher, cafe/tabac and some restaurants lies on 5 km distance via a small road that ends on a dirt road, so the surroundings are very quiet. In Desaignes in the summer there is a plan D'eau a beach where you can swim and a little further away at Retourtour there is also such a beach.... Lamastre with on Saturday and Tuesday a nice market with several supermarkets, restaurants and other stores is situated only 6 km from Desaignes. In the neighbourhood (+/- 20 min. by car) there is a large lake, a climbing forest, a riding school, a steam train, and of course many walking routes, bicycle and mauntain bike possibilities.
