Exceptional Property – Fully Restored 12th-Century Priory Nestled in the heart of a charming village in Auvergne, this exceptional former priory bears witness to a rich historical past and has been exquisitely restored to become a rare and prestigious character residence. A subtle blend of medieval authenticity and contemporary comfort, this unique property offers a timeless living environment. Built of stone and roofed with traditional Roman tiles, the estate comprises a spacious main residence and fully renovated outbuildings, offering a wide range of layout possibilities for both private use and high-end professional projects. The main house offers approximately 420 sqm of living space, arranged over three levels and 17 rooms. Generous volumes, quality materials and abundant natural light give each space a warm and elegant atmosphere. The ground floor features a refined entrance hall, a fully fitted 33 sqm kitchen, two reception lounges and a bathroom. The upper floors offer several intimate sitting rooms, a majestic library, spacious bedrooms and elegant suites, a dressing room and a large games room, providing ideal comfort for a large family or a hospitality business. The outbuildings—former tithe barns of the priory—provide a total surface area of 256 sqm and have been entirely restored using original materials: terracotta floors, wood-panelled ceilings and lime-washed walls. One of the barns is already equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and WC, allowing for immediate use. A vaulted cellar, a garage, and a remarkable 12th-century tower with original arrow slits further enhance this outstanding architectural ensemble. Set on a 924 sqm plot, the property benefits from a beautifully landscaped and fully enclosed 300 sqm garden, completely secluded from view. Accessible from the main house via a stone-paved terrace adorned with a lava-stone fountain, this outdoor space offers a true haven of peace. Located in a quiet and unspoilt setting, within a village offering all local amenities, the property lies just 9 km from Brioude, 18 km from Issoire and 45 km south of Clermont-Ferrand. A rare opportunity on the market, this prestigious property will appeal to lovers of historic residences seeking a unique lifestyle and significant potential for high-end residential or hospitality projects.
