Luxury houses for sale Laguiole, France

The old holiday atmosphere of a former hotel on Aubrac plateau. The village, a landmark amongst the undulating vastness, is on the edge of the plateau at an altitude of 1,300 m. Established in the 12th century with the founding of a monastic hospital, the village became a fashionable tourist destination at the end of the 19th century, where visitors came, not to take the water, but to take whey. Six large hotels were built there, just prior to 1900, accompanied by the expansion of the sanatorium. This old hotel, constructed in 1890 on the outskirts of the village, extends alongside the secondary road, from which it is separated by a small garden. Transformed to accommodate children’s holiday camps in the 1960’s, it still has the architectural characteristics of its original vocation. Some 30 metres long, its facade contains 35 rectangular openings over three levels. The roof, covered with lauze shale stone slabs, features dormers and skylights. The interior spaces comprise one impressively large room and, upstairs, two flats and seven bedrooms. It is extended by a converted barn adjoining the gable which bears witness to the raising of animals on the land. The two buildings, with their rendered stone walls, are linked via a vestibule topped with a terrace. The Way of Saint James, which takes the road to Espalion on the outskirts of the village, runs alongside the main facade. Behind the building, below a knoll planted with tall deciduous trees, the land offers an area that could be developed and a cabin, suspended amongst the branches of a tree. A grassy terrace extending the barn lets residents take advantage of an immense panoramic view. When the weather is good, the Cantal Mountain range can be seen on the horizon and, when it is clear, it is also possible to glimpse that of the Pyrenees beyond.
