Perrier, Auvergne 63500

Located in a characterful village at the foot of the Cézallier and Mont-Dore mountain ranges, just 35 minutes from Clermont-Ferrand and 5 km from Issoire, this 1892 manor house elegantly reflects the architecture and refined lifestyle of the late 19th century. Built in a preserved natural setting, along the banks of the Couze Pavin river, the property enjoys a rare and peaceful environment that gives it an authentic and timeless atmosphere. The residence offers approximately 423 sqm of living space and is set within beautiful grounds of nearly 4,8 hectares, providing privacy, tranquillity and open views over the surrounding countryside. The manor has preserved many original architectural features, including mosaic floors, wood panelling, French-style ceilings with exposed beams, stained glass windows, sculptured corbels, fireplaces and original parquet floors. A large entrance hall with a monumental staircase leads to the main reception rooms: living room, sitting room, library, dining room and study, as well as a kitchen with pantry, a bathroom and Wc. The first floor offers four bedrooms with parquet floors and fireplaces, and a bathroom. The second-floor features four additional bedrooms with washbasins and built-in cupboards, a laundry room and access to the attic. The garden level includes service areas such as laundry room, workshop, cellar and sub-cellar, boiler room, along with several additional rooms. The property also includes a small outbuilding with a traditional bread oven, as well as an old wooden storage building of approximately 224 sqm to renovate, offering many possibilities for further development. Part of the land is constructible, and there is a possibility to acquire additional building land and outbuildings. Renovation work is needed to allow this exceptional residence to reveal its full potential and be adapted to modern standards. The main structure is in good condition. The property is equipped with oil-fired central heating (to be revised, including a new boiler) and is connected to the mains drainage system. This rare character property could serve equally well as a large family home or for a hospitality project such as guest rooms or a boutique B&B. Shops and school are located within walking distance in the village of Perrier, with all other amenities in Issoire (5 km). Access to the A75 motorway is just 9 km away.
