Perched on a hill with views that sweep across the Limagne plain and the UNESCO-listed Chaîne des Puys, this stunning 1884 neo-Gothic church has been thoughtfully transformed into a remarkable residence. For over 40 years, it stood deconsecrated until its recent conversion, blending sacred architecture with inviting modern comfort.
As you enter, the former nave welcomes you into a grand dining space. Sunlight streams through towering arched windows, illuminating the vaulted ceilings and preserving a sense of the church’s original grandeur. The former chancel has been reinvented as a fully equipped kitchen, blending beautifully with the historic stonework. In the north transept, you’ll find a cozy lounge and library, perfect for quiet evenings, while the south transept now serves as a charming entrance hall, adding to the home’s unique character.
The ground floor offers a spacious lounge with striking volcanic stone floors, a peaceful bedroom, and a bathroom, all subtly embracing the building’s heritage. A staircase winds alongside the northern wall, leading to a mezzanine that overlooks the nave, offering additional living space and a stunning vantage point of the entire area.
Outside, the 800 m² lawned garden complements the majestic building, creating a serene outdoor sanctuary. Just five minutes from a historic town and within reach of Clermont-Ferrand, this rare property allows you to experience the quiet beauty of the Auvergne region, all while living within a piece of architectural history.
