17th-Century Manor with Tower and Park
Standing proudly in a historic village near Riom, this 17th-century maison de maître offers refined countryside living with timeless charm. Surrounded by a 2,000 m² enclosed park, it enjoys privacy, beauty, and excellent access—just 10 minutes to the motorway and 20 minutes to an SNCF station.
Formerly a noble residence, the home spans three levels, built in local stone with a central spiral staircase housed in a square tower. Original features—fireplaces, French ceilings, Renaissance flooring—remain beautifully intact.
Key Features:
- 240 m² of living space across three levels
- 4 main bedrooms + 2 additional small rooms in a converted dovecote
- Spacious kitchen with stone fireplace and bread oven
- Multiple reception rooms with historic charm
- Vaulted cellar, carport, workshop (15 m²)
- Usable tennis court and tool shed
- Attics with conversion potential (over 100 m² combined)
- Total land: approx. 3,570 m²
The garden is lush and peaceful, with mature trees, flowering shrubs, and plenty of space to relax or entertain. A tennis court at the rear offers recreation with a view.
Inside, the layout is practical yet full of character. Original beams, woodwork, and ceiling heights of 3.2 m create an airy, timeless feel. Some refreshment and insulation work would elevate this already charming home into a truly exceptional retreat.
Perfect as a primary residence or peaceful second home.
