Dwelling: Near a village nestled at the foot of a hill, neighboring an unusual Forêt de la Comté classified as an environmental site, all set within the first foothills of the Livradois-Forez Regional Park, this 17th-century estate reveals itself. Loaded with history and presenting approximately 600 m² of living space over 3 levels, the castle and its outbuildings unfold around a U-shaped courtyard housing an old crayfish park, a stone fountain from Volvic, and varied vegetation. As you pass through the gate, a two-level caretaker's house, barns, and a garage are a number of outbuildings for rehabilitation, along with the interior of the building which has undergone a roof restoration. A stable and the ruins of an old house stand in close proximity. Numerous works on medium and major construction are planned to restore the shine to this place. The castle, built on a small cellar, offers substantial living volumes. The entrance, ornamented with a stone pediment, leads left to a kitchen and a large pantry, and to the right, a majestic living room of 113 m² with its library corner and numerous openings onto the park, a bedroom, and a toilet. A majestic staircase provides access to a private chapel on the mezzanine, and then upstairs to four bedrooms, an office, a shower room, and two bathrooms. On the top level, an apartment with a living room, shower room, and a bedroom adorned with painted woodwork opening onto a terrace completes another area that includes three bedrooms. Finally, under the roof of the tower, there is a final room serving as an additional bedroom. Land: Open to the valley, south-facing, with no overlooking neighbors, the estate overlooks its 5 hectares of land primarily composed of meadows and some woods. Notable is the presence of a spring and a large vegetable garden sheltered behind the barn walls. The gravel terrace, directly accessible from the living room, allows for full enjoyment of the view and the serene surroundings.
