Property Description

Charming house with breathtaking views and swimming pool This characterful stone house, dating from 1814, is situated on the edge of a picturesque French hamlet. With its thick walls, authentic details, and tasteful recent renovations, the property perfectly blends historic charm with modern comfort. You access the property through an elegant iron gate and a welcoming driveway. The first thing that strikes you is its magnificent south-facing location, on the edge of a traditional rural hamlet. The walled gardenbordered by a Napoleonic-style wallis meticulously landscaped with fruit trees, a vegetable garden, and several terraces. From each of these, you can enjoy the sunshine and truly spectacular panoramic views: in the distance, the snow-capped peaks of the Cantal mountains, including Puy Mary and Puy Violent. The swimming pool (10 x 4.5 m) completes this serene outdoor setting. Ground floor The bright living room (34 m2) offers high ceilings with exposed beams (2.2 m) and is distinguished by a superb handcrafted oak staircase as well as a remarkable authentic fireplace: a traditional cantou, typical of the Auvergne, equipped with a modern wood insert. Adjoining the living room is a renovated kitchen with a dining area (25 m2) featuring elegant travertine flooring. Next to the living room is a spacious and bright room (18 m2), currently used as a billiard room but ideal as a bedroom or office. On the other side of the house is a separate annex of over 40 m2, with its own private entrance and terrace (20 m2). The annex comprises a living room (19 m2), a bedroom (12 m2), a bathroom, a separate WC, and a small kitchen. Successfully rented out for the first time last summer, it is also perfect for accommodating guests, for multigenerational living, or for single-level living.
