luxury real estate with pool for sale Loire, France (page 2)

The house is a 19th-century 'folie', with 'art nouveau' architecture that bears witness to a flourishing industrial era. Its guests are still captivated by its character and the quality of its original materials, which have shaped its history. This property is within walking distance of all amenities. It lies at an altitude of 625 m, in the natural Pilat massif, at the end of the Loire and on the borders of the Ardèche, almost 1 hour from Lyon, divided between the market town and the countryside. The estate boasts a rare amount of space, with more than 1,140 m2 of floor space and almost 2 hectares of adjoining land, much of it enclosed in stone, as well as numerous outbuildings. A 65m2 caretaker's cottage stands guard at the entrance to the grounds, which include a 100m2 garage with awning, a swimming pool and a number of gîtes. The garden's beauty is enhanced by its age-old trees, which seem to punctuate its contours, forming a walkway and a green setting that shields the orchard, the former aviary and the villa from view. Here and there, a spring flows down to form a pond. Supported by its cellars, the manor house offers 515m2 of living space, with its living rooms facing south-east, overlooking the meadow and the peaceful surroundings. On the ground floor, the monumental entrance staircase with its wrought-iron banister comes to life under the stained-glass windows, and the floor is decorated with a Paray-le-Monial mosaic, while the wooden floors echo underfoot from one reception room to the next. The generous volumes are still adorned with marble fireplaces and wood panelling, in keeping with the néogothique style that the romanticism of the period brought back into fashion. With its slender 2-storey layout, the house provided sufficient space for its 12 bedrooms. Facilities are already in place to encourage entertaining and well-being projects. The property offers almost 45 beds, including 5 chalets that together provide 170m2 of additional living space. Responding to the region's tourist appeal, the manor house has stood the test of time and lost none of its appeal. Its assets have been preserved, and successive efforts to insulate and renovate it have made it easier to pass on this exceptional property, which is ideally suited to entertaining.
