luxury architect houses for sale Puy-de-Dôme, France

In the city center of Riom, in the Marthuret district, a private mansion from the 18th century and its vast terrace. In a protected sector, at the end of a peaceful street, the mansion is part of a small co-ownership. Its design is attributed to Claude-François Legay (1728-1803), the city's architect, but the building, although constructed in the 18th century, seems to rely on older structures, probably medieval. Organized around an inner courtyard, the living quarters reveal, in its center, a small overhanging balcony. On the top level, a terrace of about 75 m² represents a valuable uniqueness in the old urban fabric of the area.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Residence: Old farmhouse from the early last century that has undergone careful restoration and remarkable extension, bringing the living area to approximately 380 m². Located within a fully enclosed park of almost 5 hectares, benefiting from the presence of water, this property could perfectly adapt to equestrian use or a tourism project. The original residential house is made of stone and sits on a basement. On the ground floor, a corridor leads to a separate fitted kitchen, a laundry room, and an independent WC on the left, and on the right, a first living room/dining room with direct access to the extension. On the first floor, a landing leads to three bedrooms, an independent WC, and a complete bathroom with a wellness bathtub. The top level is divided into two beautiful attic bedrooms with wall storage. This part has gas heating with a recent condensing boiler. The adjoining outbuildings, made of rammed earth, have been radically redesigned by an architect. The volumes under the exposed beams of the former barn have been preserved to enhance a vast room of approximately 100 m² with more than 7 meters of ceiling height. Bright and airy, it has been perfectly insulated with ecological materials. An overlooking mezzanine, featuring a custom library, provides access to a potentially usable attic space. Adjacent to this is a large master suite of about 86 m², arranged in the original stable, equipped with a private shower room with WC. Both rooms benefit from a double-sided fireplace and underfloor heating by air/air heat pump. Several outbuildings enhance the outdoor spaces, including: - a heated, underground swimming pool measuring 10 x 5 meters, sheltered by a sliding dome, with terrace and solar shower, - a pleasant wrought-iron pergola, - two garages, one with a reserve/workshop that can park four vehicles, - a large parking and storage area, - a room with an old bread oven that can serve as an independent studio, summer kitchen, or office for a liberal profession, - a stable for two horses with a tack room and an outdoor water trough. Land: A part of the land, located along the street serving the property, is buildable. The rest of the parcel, in one single block, is mainly grassland. It is relatively flat and is located in a Natural zone. A body of water is located in the center of the land, surrounded by trees and fed by a spring. A stream that crosses the meadow ensures a permanent water supply. The entire property is enclosed by hornbeam hedges or walls. A first motorized access provides direct access to the south-facing courtyard in front of the house. Two other gates lead directly to the garages and the pastures. Additional elements: Close to the town of Thiers and its motorway access, less than 5 minutes by car from the amenities of Courpière, this well-maintained property could accommodate a new family starting in December 2026.
