Description
This farmhouse for sale in Ambierle, Loire, has 105 m² of renovated living space, three bedrooms and 2,500 m² of fenced grounds with a large barn. Two old cottages were joined into one home, which explains the two stone-stepped entrances, the pair of big fireplaces and a layout that suits family and guests equally well. It faces south, sits behind a double gate on a quiet municipal lane, and comes with more covered outbuilding space than most buyers know what to do with.
The Farmhouse: Two Cottages Made One
You come in to a fully equipped kitchen with a central island, heated by a combined wood and pellet stove. Off it are a pantry and a separate toilet, where the original bread oven has been kept as a feature. The dining area next door has solid wooden floors, and beyond it is a north-facing bedroom with its own bathroom. That makes a convenient ground-floor room for guests or for anyone who prefers to avoid stairs.
A few steps up, through double glass doors, the living room has a wood-burning stove set into a stone fireplace, repointed stone walls, thick plank flooring and heavy ceiling beams. Under the dining room and part of the living room is a cellar, useful for wine and vegetables.
An open staircase climbs to a mezzanine with original flooring and a skylight, a natural spot for a desk or a reading corner. From there you reach a bathroom with a skylight and two more bedrooms, one with a skylight and one with a small windowed door. That gives three bedrooms and two bathrooms in total.
Outbuildings and 2,500 m² of Fenced Land
The plot is fully fenced and edged with hedges, with a double gate for vehicles and a wrought-iron gate for walkers. Inside are gravel parking areas and grassy stretches with mature trees. Two wells stand on the land, and one has a pump for watering the garden or animals.
Next to the house is a raised wooden terrace of 25 m² with a roof renovated in 2024, a good place for long summer lunches. A 9 m² stone outbuilding with a new steel roof adjoins it and holds the barbecue gear and garden furniture.
The main outbuilding is an open barn with a 135 m² tiled roof, set at right angles to the house. It currently shelters donkeys and feed, but it could just as easily park several vehicles. Converting it into a guesthouse is an idea, though that would be subject to planning permission. There is also a 47 m² carport, a block of former pigsties with an attic above (79 m² in total) and a 13 m² stone shed for tools and pots. The meadow behind the house, grazed by donkeys, is made available by a neighbouring landowner and is not part of the 2,500 m².
Condition and What to Budget For
The house is in good condition, and the heavy work has been done. The windows were replaced two years ago, the roof has been renovated with added insulation, and the heating system is modern. One item needs attention: the septic tank must be updated to meet current standards, so ask for a quote early.
As a second home in France, the fenced plot and solid outbuildings make locking up between visits straightforward. Mowing the grass and keeping the hedges in shape will be the main chores.
Living Near Ambierle and Roanne
Ambierle is a village on the Côte Roannaise, a small wine-growing area in the Loire département, and its Renaissance priory is well known locally. Roanne, the nearest sizeable town, is roughly 15 to 20 minutes away by car. It has supermarkets, markets, restaurants and a railway station with services towards Lyon and Saint-Étienne.
For a weekend away, the Monts de la Madeleine offer walking and the Lac de Villerest on the Loire is a short drive. If you are looking for a holiday home in Loire with room for visitors, this is a base where the surroundings are rural but daily errands are easy.
Getting There: Airports and Drive Times
Lyon Saint-Exupéry is the main international airport for this part of France, at around an hour and a half by road. Clermont-Ferrand airport is a similar distance. Anyone planning to rent a car and use the house for regular visits will find the journey manageable.
