In the midst of the vineyards of Sanpourcinoises, between Moulins and Saint-Pourçain (03, Allier Bourbonnais): unique and design occupied life annuity, surprising and isolated, glass-steel-concrete loft from 2005, 230 m² on one level in a superb park of 1.6 ha, with a view of the Val d’Allier. Rare, original, tempting! A magnificent landscape stretches beyond the large windows of the three exposures (south, east, north) of this vast bright and warm space. Although one has a sense of limited space, one can easily distinguish the "rooms" thanks to an interior layout studied according to orientations, sophisticated, and vertical lines that cut horizontal symmetries. This contemporary dwelling from 2005 was rebuilt on the foundations of an old winemaker's house: the cellar is therefore long, high, and vaulted, where tastings could take place, accessible by a spiral staircase. The ground-level loft: 230 m² of glass, steel, and concrete opens up to the eyes with variations in the lines that delineate the spaces; a pyramidal dome adds vertical light to the horizontal rays of the windows (oscillo-turnable double-glazed PVC, electric shutters). One breathes, far from the idea of the old Bourbonnais home curled around the hearth, yet the fireplace warms the atmosphere as does the concrete floor heating _decorated or not with colored metallic resin_ heating by geothermal energy (reversible in summer, independent thermostat for each room). Likewise, the insulated steel deck ceilings, coated with waterproofing, as well as the walls doubled with air gaps and rock wool (a total of 16 cm insulation), give that feeling of well-being with ideal warmth evenly distributed; the only solution for winters under more than 4 m of height. * The entrance (armored steel door) opens before you onto the office space (or winter garden) from where the view extends over the park and surrounding forests. * To the right, southeast, the living room space, with hearth and light pyramid, "murder holes" to the east, and sliding windows. One of the windows, in aluminum, was supposed to open onto a room housing the pool. This unfinished side still overlooks the foundations of an open-air pool (8 X 4 supplied, liner and balneo stairs to finish according to one’s tastes, covered or not thanks to the building permit). When the vines are not in leaf, one can see the Allier River winding its way in the distance. In this southeast living space, of about 90 m², one could separate another bedroom to the south without harming the style of the whole. * Directly opposite, to the north, the fitted kitchen area, with central island, where the red of the laminated furniture brightens the gray steel structure (all elements from 2005). The kitchen area opens onto a closed back kitchen (sink, cooking, refrigerators, storage). * Opposite, southwest, the "night" areas, cleverly hidden behind doors identical to those of the cupboards, with ceilings doubling the insulation: - south bedroom 12 m² (cupboards), view over the park, - large south bedroom (cupboards), its shower room with toilet: window to the west, 2 basins, large shower. - bathroom / laundry room, 10 m² (window west) - guest toilet with hand basin and window. The rooms have television sockets, high-speed internet, VMC. Home automation lighting throughout (remotely controlled for all or part). The exteriors add a supernatural charm to the human pleasure of the house: colors and outdoor scents complete the sobriety of the interior tones. An exceptional site extends around a park more than a century old, planted with numerous species, opened by a simple gate, which descends from the south to exit to the north, in the middle of a small wood of various broadleaf and coniferous trees. Around the gray walls, the russet colors of the vines, the woods, and the pastel fields in the distance surround the varied greens of cedars of Lebanon, Judas trees, maples, oaks, ashes, linden trees, birches, acacias, sequoias, Douglas firs, pines, cytises, blackthorns, and ornamental flowerbeds (including old roses). A part in grassland (9,000 m²) not only allows for viewing but also for keeping animals. On one side of the park, a 20 m² outbuilding (game room without water) has been built next to the double garage. In the park, a well (watering outlets). Outdoor electricity planned to illuminate the driveway (adapted ducts). The immediate surroundings allow for endless walks in woods and paths, as well as along the banks of the Allier and its beaches: natural reserve of the Val d’Allier: https://reserves-naturelles.org/reserves/val-dallier/ frequented by thousands of migratory birds. This strange varied and isolated paradise is located south of Moulins, the prefecture of Allier (15 minutes), * 5 min from a village with small shops, leading to different axes of the region: * north-south: D2009 towards Saint-Pourçain (12 min) and Clermont-Ferrand (1h) its airport (1h15); D2007 (old N 7) towards Vichy (45 min) or Nevers (1h) and Paris (3h); right and left banks of the Allier; * east-west: N145 (RCEA, la Bourbonnaise) towards Burgundy, Switzerland, or Italy (3h), or Berry-Creuse.
