In the heart of the Cantal region, within a preserved environment offering peace, nature, and authenticity, this distinguished property unfolds all the elegance of an 18th-century historic residence set within approximately one hectare of carefully landscaped grounds. Built at the end of the 18th century, this classical-style pleasure house is arranged on a terrace overlooking a terraced garden. The main residence, featuring a central projecting section, is flanked by two lower service wings, while a large barn extends along the western side of the estate. The entire property has retained its original 18th-century decorative features, including wood paneling, stucco work, and fireplaces, further enhanced in the mid-19th century by Italian-style landscape paintings executed in medallions by William Laparra, adding a remarkable artistic and decorative dimension to the property. Listed as a Monument Historique, the estate benefits from official heritage protection covering the château, its interior features, its outbuildings, and its gardens. From the moment one enters, the estate is immediately appealing due to its elevated position and open views over the surrounding countryside. The terraced park features structured gardens and a natural water resurgence fed by an old stream diversion, contributing to the charm and identity of the property. The residence offers approximately 400 sqm of living space across several levels. The reception rooms retain their full authenticity with period fireplaces, generous volumes, and open views over the park. A remarkable library with a monumental fireplace stands as one of the most emblematic spaces of the property. The accommodation includes around ten bedrooms, several bathrooms and shower rooms, as well as vast convertible attic spaces and rare heritage features, including preserved alcoves on the upper floors. The property is further complemented by a substantial stone barn of approximately 300 sqm over two levels. It has been restored and structurally reinforced with tie rods and the reconstruction of a side wall. It offers multiple potential uses: classic car collection, reception and event space, art gallery, exhibition venue, private museum, or cultural foundation. A large independent garage, located in extension of the main residence, completes the outbuildings. The estate benefits from mains drainage, a fully renewed electrical system, and entirely electric heating. Rare on the market, this property is aimed at a clientele seeking a place steeped in history, suitable for an exceptional family residence, a high-end tourism project, or a cultural or event-oriented venture. A unique property where heritage, architecture, and the art of living come together in a preserved natural environment.

A chateau from the Middle Ages & Renaissance, on 15-ha grounds, overlooking the Goul River valley, on the border of the Cantal & Aveyron departments. Erected in the middle of its grounds and nestled in a setting completely sheltered from all disturbances, the chateau, a national Historical Monument, stands above the valley, which marks the historic boundary between Upper Auvergne and the former Rouergue province. Accessible from its eastern side, where at one time there was undoubtedly a drawbridge, the chateau’s origins date back to the Middle Ages when the site was a simple keep surrounded by an enclosure with five to seven defensive towers. Today, the only thing that remains from this era is the first keep to the west, a second tower built in the 15th century to the east, as well as one of the defensive towers, now shortened and surrounded by patios and plenty of open spaces. As for the central dwelling, built in the Renaissance between the two square towers, its southern façade features many mullioned windows and breath-taking sculpted décor around its main entrance, while, to the north, an additional wing was added in the 18th century. Inside, the layout of the rooms has not been modified and, besides an immense Italianate staircase, the ground floor contains a former lower hall, which is now used as a dining room, a small TV room, two kitchens – the original and a more recent one – as well as a door to the cellars and garage, whereas the first floor features a former lords’ hall, a small adjacent sitting room, two bedrooms and a shower room with lavatory. In addition, the door to the chateau’s 18th-century wing gives on to a series of three adjacent bedrooms with washbasins, a bathroom and a separate lavatory, while the second floor includes the immense 'Queen’s bedroom', a study, two more bedrooms and a shower room with lavatory. As for the doorway on the half landing, it opens on to a shower room and an attic in the 18th-century wing, whereas the third floor is made up of an exhibition hall, followed by a guest bedroom, former staff rooms and an interior dovecote. Lastly, a small staircase leads to the attic with an immense room boasting breath-taking wooden rafters and two fireplaces, which precedes an oratory and the upper sections of the two towers, while a caretaker’s cottage and a swimming pool can also be found on the property.
