Ardeche Property For Sale

Ardèche property offers a vast range of possibilities from dreamy rural retreats to properties near the dramatic Gorges de l’Ardèche which you can convert into an activity base and rent out to kayaking, canoeing, mountain-biking and rambling enthusiasts from the world over.

Cheap Ardèche property to renovate can be found among the Cévennes mountains and forests that cover nearly half of this unspoilt département. But prices rise in the south where the locals bask in a Mediterranean climate and the economy benefits from the numerous leisure activities on offer.

In the north Tournon is a pretty market town and the central Aubenas area boasts a number of quaint traditional villages.

Typical property in Ardèche is a stone farmhouse with land but further south these give way to Provencal style Mediterranean villas.

Southern Ardèche property is at a premium – especially near the Gorges de l’Ardèche and the river Ardèche that runs through them – as this is the perfect location for water-based activity holidays.

Most sought-after of all is Vallon Pont d’Arc property as this charming village is also the starting point for the great Descente des Gorges – a 30 km stretch of the river flowing down to St Martin d’Ardèche. Depending on the season, this is either an adrenalin filled white-knuckle ride or a gentle meander for all the family. You will canoe under the magnificent natural bridge Pont d’Arc and you can picnic or even camp for the night on one of the many riverside beaches.
