Located in the Cantal department of the Massif Central, in the hills 25 mins from Aurillac, is this splendid, magnificently converted renovated shepherd’s cottage offering 300m² of living space. There is an immense living area with fireplace, a kitchen, larder, four bedrooms, an auditorium, washroom, two toilets, utility room, secure wine cellar with vaulted ceiling, an outbuilding to restore and 3000m² of grounds. Perfect for lovers of tranquility, nature, wood and stone.

Here we have a little gem…this unique ensemble has been totally renovated and will appeal due to its geographic situation as well as exposition enjoying sunlight all day long in a dominant position in this old volcanic region.

A small mountain lane leads to this “Luxurious Eagle’s Nest” via some breathtaking scenery.

You will need to push the enormous and original wooden door of this building to reach inside and step down into the main, immense 105m² living space. The original fireplace, constructed by the “Compagnons de France” has unconventional dimensions and houses a wood burner. Airflow from the chimney breast to the living is possible. All the magic of wood and stone is present. A bay window offers one of the most beautiful living paintings of the region and a 180 degree view from your dining table.

The bar melts perfectly into the cosy atmosphere of the place and will provide the evening’s entertainment, in moderation of course. A step from the living area and you’re in the other essential space of the house for a pleasant day, the 24m² kitchen. Fully equipped and also with a bay window, it has integrated hob, fridge, dish washer, microwave and numerous draws for storage. A small door leads to a washroom with shower and toilet, a 24m² laundry and a 5m² utility room housing the new geothermal heating system.

An oak staircase leads up to the upper floor or, if you will, the ground floor of the second entrance as the building is constructed against the hillside. This second entrance hall is 30m² and will allow you to discover the future bathroom (9m²), toilet, a corridor, three connecting bedrooms (two of 13m² and 14m²) and a 15m² space to use as wardrobe or another bedroom.

A surprise awaits for music or film lovers or video game enthusiasts: a magnificent 28m² auditorium where you can turn up the volume without disturbing anyone!

Stairs at the end of gate room lead to the second floor currently unused (65m² with sloping ceiling). A floor enjoying natural light as well as stone and wood. A subtle bull’s eye window will attract your attention inevitably and there is a 27m² loft for storage.

Back to the ground floor and the access from the the kitchen to the superb vaulted wine cellar with a 1200 bottle capacity, oak shelving and wrought iron d
Grill. Hygrometry guaranteed and controlled in summer.

Continuing on from the main building and cellar, a section of the barn is to be renovated or not. In the first instance, an idea will jump out at you.

The roof is covered in hooked slate. Construction from stone. A new Wiessman geothermal system provides heating and hot water. The ground floor has underfloor heating. Windows are aluminium double glazed. There is aluminium sunshades on the west facing rooms. Wood fibre insulation. The ceilings are chestnut and the flooring larch. The building sits on a 15cm think concrete base. All structural work dates from 2010. Water comes from the mountains via the water mains with a 1500 storage tank. A pool could be added with authorisation.

This little gem, almost brand new, has been built with attention to detail in each room using high quality materials and is destined for the most demanding clientele seeking tranquillity, nature and inspiration. Ideal for an artist.

You will adore leaving your home to take a walk in the local trails, perhaps using snowshoes in winter, and fully enjoy this unique property and location.
