Property Details
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
FULL DESCRIPTION
This beautiful, distinctive property, a rare opportunity on the market, was originally a 12th-century priory that has now been meticulously restored. Combining medieval authenticity with contemporary comfort, this unique estate offers an exceptional lifestyle in the heart of a protected natural environment. Built of stone and topped with traditional Roman tiles, the property comprises a spacious main residence and fully renovated outbuildings, providing numerous possibilities for both private use and high-end professional projects. In the context of increasingly hot summers due to climate change, the property offers outstanding natural thermal comfort thanks to its exceptionally thick stone walls (1.5 metres / nearly 5 feet). The main residence offers approximately 420 sq m (4,520 sq ft) of living space, arranged over 17 rooms on three levels. The generous proportions, quality materials, and abundant natural light create a warm and elegant atmosphere throughout. The ground floor features an elegant entrance hall, a 33 sq m (355 sq ft) fitted kitchen, two reception lounges, and a bathroom. The upper floors include several intimate sitting rooms, a magnificent library, spacious bedrooms and elegant suites, a dressing room, and a large games room, providing ideal accommodation for a large family or a luxury hospitality business. The outbuildings, formerly the priory's tithe barns, offer a total of 256 sq m (2,756 sq ft) and have been carefully restored using traditional materials, including terracotta floors, wood-panelled ceilings, and lime-plastered walls. One of these buildings has already been fitted with a kitchen, bathroom, and sanitary facilities, making it immediately suitable for use. A vaulted wine cellar, a garage, and a remarkable 12th-century tower with its original arrow slits further enhance this exceptional architectural ensemble. Set on a 924 sq m (9,946 sq ft) plot, the property benefits from a beautifully landscaped and fully enclosed 300 sq m (3,229 sq ft) private garden, completely secluded from view. Accessible directly from the house via a paved terrace adorned with a lava-stone fountain, this outdoor space provides a true haven of peace. Located in a quiet and unspoilt setting within a village offering all essential amenities, the property is just 9 km (5.6 miles) from Brioude, 18 km (11 miles) from Issoire, and 45 km (28 miles) south of Clermont-Ferrand. A truly rare offering, this prestigious property will appeal to buyers seeking a historic residence with exceptional character, offering outstanding potential as either a distinguished private home or a high-end hospitality venture.
