manor for sale Chaudes-Aigues, France

A grand estate in northern Aveyron, comprising a majestic manor house with comfortable and refined interiors and its outbuildings, set within a vast, flat, wooded, and enclosed park of over 2 hectares with a swimming pool, located in the heart of a picturesque village in the Carladez region. After passing through an imposing automated gate, a driveway leads to the main building, with a turning area and parking for several vehicles at the rear (in addition to two enclosed garages), and the former direct access to the staff kitchens. This typical early 20th-century manor house, facing south and featuring large windows, rises four stories. The ground floor, formerly cellars, now houses a beautifully restored gym and games room with a pool table and foosball, ideal for socializing with family and friends, as well as for guests of the bed and breakfast. The first floor is entirely dedicated to living space, with a spacious entrance hall leading to a lovely living room with a large fireplace and, at the rear, a cozy TV room, and then a large dining room connected to the kitchen. A separate WC with a washbasin completes this level. The upper floor is dedicated to the bedrooms. The master suite, with a small balcony overlooking the park and swimming pool, has its own private bathroom. The two other bedrooms share a large bathroom with a bathtub, WC, and walk-in shower. The top floor has recently been renovated to create three additional guest rooms, with a bathroom et independant WC, and dressing room for linen storage. Behind the manor house are the estate's outbuildings: The first outbuilding, renamed the cottage, was formerly the staff quarters for the estate. After a beautiful renovation, a charming two-story cottage has been created to accommodate 4 to 6 people, with the living area on the ground floor and the sleeping area upstairs. Part of the ground floor of this building houses two large enclosed garages, and beyond that, a laundry/workshop area. Above the former stables, which are still in use, a loft has been created on the upper floor, offering an open-plan living space of over 85 square meters with a lounge, American-style kitchen, and small mezzanine, as well as a bedroom with a bathroom and dressing room. The bedroom's French doors open onto the exterior via the old barn ramp where hay was once stored. This second outbuilding also represents a significant portion of the property's enormous potential for hospitality activities. Outside, several small, lightweight structures are clustered around the outbuildings (a woodshed, a pergola, and even a small chalet). The grounds are entirely enclosed by an attractive perimeter stone wall with several wrought-iron gates. The land is flat. Open in places, such as around the swimming pool, it is also shaded by mature trees. The 10x5 meter rectangular swimming pool, treated with chlorine, is equipped with a plexiglass safety cover. It is bordered by an outdoor terrace with a pergola, ideal for summer aperitifs and meals. Next to it are an outdoor shower and a former pizza oven. On the other side, a jacuzzi has been installed atop a monumental stone well. If you wish to live on an exceptional estate with the project of continuing an existing tourist accommodation business, and if you dream of wide-open spaces et fresh air, you will fall under the spell of this idyllic location nestled between the Cantal and Aubrac mountains. Financial statements, other documents relating to the tourist accommodation business, a photo portfolio, a 3D virtual tour, and interior plans are available upon request. Energy Performance Certificate (DPE) and other diagnostics are in progress.
