Auvergne, Puy-de-Dôme, Château-sur-Cher, France

A47053GG63 - This old stone-built house was originally a mixed-use property. On one side, there were two rooms used for storage and to shelter a few farm animals; on the other, a traditional bread oven, with a large attic above it.
The property has been carefully renovated, while retaining many beautiful original features, including the bread oven, which remains in good condition, and the original stone water trough.

THE HOUSE
On the ground floor, there is a spacious 24 m² kitchen and a 38 m² living room. Extending from the living room, a pleasant west-facing covered terrace of approximately 21 m² provides an ideal place to enjoy the surrounding natural setting.
Accessed from outside, there is a storage room of approximately 8 m². Adjoining this, a small room provides access to the traditional bread oven and also contains a WC with washbasin.

Upstairs, beneath the eaves, the house has a surprising sense of space – with a surprising Tardis effect , with considerably more room than one might expect from the outside. The generous proportions include a first bedroom of approximately 14 m² of floor space, with a 6 m² shower room opposite. Further along, there is a spacious 26 m² bedroom with its own 6.2 m² shower room. Beyond this, an additional room of approximately 8 m² of floor space, currently used as a child’s bedroom, could ideally be used as a dressing room or home office.

THE GARDEN
The property particularly benefits from its unspoilt surroundings, with extensive, mature grounds of more than 9,000 m² directly bordering the River Cher. At Château-sur-Cher, the river is classified as a first-category fishing river, providing a particularly attractive setting for those who enjoy nature, fishing and peace and quiet.


THE SURROUNDINGS
Set in a peaceful and unspoilt rural environment, the property is nevertheless within easy reach of essential amenities and services.
The spa town of Évaux-les-Bains, around 9 km away, is known for its thermal treatments, particularly in rheumatology and phlebology, and offers shops, a supermarket, doctors, a pharmacy, restaurants and other services.

Around 12 km away, Pionsat also offers local shops and services, while Marcillat-en-Combraille, approximately 8 km away, provides additional amenities.

Just a 15-minute drive away, Chambon-sur-Voueize is well worth a visit. This medieval village, crossed by the Voueize River, is particularly known for its abbey church and historic heritage. In 2025, it officially joined the prestigious network of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (The Most Beautiful Villages in France).

Montluçon can be reached in 30 minutes and Clermont-Ferrand in 1 hour 20 minutes. Both are larger towns offering a wide range of shops, services, cultural and leisure activities, as well as railway connections to Paris.

The surrounding area offers numerous opportunities for walking, hiking and outdoor activities. The landscapes of the Combrailles and the proximity of the Auvergne also provide access to the first areas of mid-altitude mountains and ski resorts within approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.
