Elegant 18th Century Manor House With Terraced Garden

About the Property

In the heart of the Cantal region, this elegant 18th-century manor house, built in 1800, presents a distinguished residence set within approximately one hectare of meticulously landscaped grounds. The property is located in a preserved environment that offers tranquility and authenticity, just a short distance from Aurillac. This classical-style pleasure house is arranged on a terrace overlooking a terraced garden, featuring a central projecting section flanked by two lower service wings. The estate retains its original 18th-century decorative features, including exquisite wood paneling, stucco work, and period fireplaces, further enhanced in the mid-19th century by Italian-style landscape paintings executed in medallions by William Laparra, which add a remarkable artistic dimension to the property. The manor house encompasses approximately 400 square meters of living space across several levels, with reception rooms that boast generous volumes and open views over the park. A remarkable library with a monumental fireplace stands as one of the most emblematic spaces of the property. The accommodation includes around ten bedrooms, several bathrooms and shower rooms, as well as vast convertible attic spaces and preserved alcoves on the upper floors. The estate is complemented by a substantial stone barn of approximately 300 square meters over two levels, which has been restored and offers multiple potential uses, including as a classic car collection, reception space, art gallery, or private museum. Additionally, a large independent garage extends from the main residence. The terraced park features structured gardens and a natural water resurgence fed by an old stream diversion, contributing to the charm and identity of the property. The estate benefits from mains drainage, a fully renewed electrical system, and entirely electric heating. Historic Monument Protection: The estate is listed as a Monument Historique, benefiting from official heritage protection covering the manor house, its interior features, outbuildings, and gardens.
