CORDESSURCIEL | TRIANGE D'OR At the heart of CordessurCiel, a medieval town nicknamed the "city of 100 ogives" for its characteristic Gothic windows, lies an exceptional residence, a true concentration of history, craftsmanship, and architecture. Built on the ancient ramparts, this property rises over four levels, following the natural slope of the village and offering, on each floor, unique perspectives of the tiled roofs, cobbled streets, and the Cérou valley. You step into history through two emblematic accesses: a main entrance opening onto a paved inner courtyard, formerly the bustling heart of tannery activity, now a haven of tranquillity and light. The other access is a streetfront shop, whose pointed arch windows, remarkable for their Gothic elegance, bear witness to the craftsmanship of 13thcentury builders. This shop, once a place of commerce, could rediscover a purpose as a reception area, gallery, or artist's studio, depending on the desires of its future owner. From a typical shopping street, a discreet passage leads to a private garden, enhanced by an ancient well, a true green oasis in the heart of the city. Inside, the volumes are commensurate with grand medieval residences: an immense living room, under high ceilings, bathed in light, invites conviviality and relaxation, while the kitchen, arranged in the old guard tower, combines the timeless charm of stones weathered by centuries with a decidedly contemporary art of living. Eight very spacious bedrooms, some nestled in the tower, offer unique living spaces, each with its own character, views of the city or valley, and preserved intimacy. Circulation between the different spaces is facilitated by period walkways, harmoniously connecting the streetside part to the garden and valley side, for a living experience that is both intimate and open to the outside. Modern comfort is not overlooked, with a heated indoor pool measuring 3 by 6 meters, a true luxury in this heritage setting, allowing enjoyment of the water yearround, shielded from view. This residence has preserved many original elements: soléades (drying areas) on the top floor, exposed beams, cut stone, monumental fireplaces, and many other details that make it a true gem of Cordais heritage. It appeals to those who appreciate the nobility of ancient materials, the poetry of spaces steeped in history, and the privilege of residing in the heart of a classified village, a stone's throw from the ramparts, monumental gates, shops, and artisan workshops, in an atmosphere that is both prestigious and friendly. Ideal for a large family, an exceptional secondary residence, a charming hotel project, or even a commercial or artistic activity, this property is a jewel to be preserved for future generations, but also to be lived in fully, with respect for its history and enthusiasm for its future. To discover this extraordinary residence, do not hesitate to contact us for a private viewing.
