A magnificent residence of magistrates and its garden overlooking the valley

Nestled in the heart of the historic district, this exceptional residence, dating back to before 1710, stands as a living and majestic testament to local history. A true private monument spanning 446 square meters, this bourgeois property combines architectural prestige with a bucolic lifestyle.

Inhabited for generations by a line of magistrates, this house now represents a rare opportunity to reinterpret a heritage of absolute nobility, whose soul awaits only a new lease on life.

From the moment you enter, the magic takes hold in a state room enhanced by period flagstones and refined moldings. It serves as a showcase for a masterpiece of joinery: a sumptuous double-helix interior staircase in carved wood, designed by one of the architects of the Opéra Garnier, the central pivot of a fluid and elegant layout.

The ground floor features a spacious and bright eat-in kitchen opening onto a magnificent reception room with its period fireplace. A warm living room, adorned with antique parquet flooring, incorporates a pellet stove for optimal comfort.

The upper floors offer five generously sized bedrooms, including a large and refined master suite. A unique half-landing provides access to two independent but interconnected apartments (one-bedroom and one-bedroom), offering ideal flexibility for guests, a rental project, or upscale bed and breakfast accommodations.

The ascent culminates on a more secluded final level: the “Belvedere” room offers a breathtaking view of the church and the valley, complemented by a games room with a sloping ceiling and a spacious 30 m² mezzanine.

The exterior extends this unique sensory experience. A second double-helix staircase, crafted from stone, leads elegantly to an intimate landscaped garden with beautifully planted terraces. This haven of peace, spanning over 2,200 square meters, features a glass-enclosed winter garden with a fireplace, inviting bucolic contemplation in every season.

An authentic and spacious vaulted cellar on two levels completes this ensemble for connoisseurs of exceptional wines, along with a garage providing direct access to the street.

Just a five-minute walk from the TGV station, putting Paris less than two hours away, this architectural gem embodies the very essence of a truly exceptional property. It blends a faithfully preserved historical structure with exquisite craftsmanship, offering a unique and timeless signature.

More than just an acquisition, it is an invitation for the discerning buyer to awaken this slumbering residence and write the next chapter of its centuries-old prestige.
