Description

A48159ABR03 - Hidden from view in a peaceful and unspoilt countryside setting, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of extensive land, multiple dwellings and established equestrian facilities. Situated more than 500 metres from the nearest neighbours and well away from busy roads, it provides an outstanding opportunity for those seeking privacy, space and a lifestyle surrounded by nature.

Set within approximately 16.3 hectares of land, with the possibility of acquiring additional adjoining hectares, the estate comprises three separate dwellings offering approximately 328 m² of living accommodation and nine bedrooms in total. Whether you are looking to establish an equestrian business, develop holiday accommodation or simply enjoy a substantial country property with room for family and guests, the possibilities are numerous.

The Main House – 154 m²

The main house is a welcoming and comfortable home, presented in very good condition, with a practical layout designed for everyday living.

On the ground floor, there is a lovely living room with wood-burning stove and open-plan fitted kitchen, with direct access to a veranda and a pleasant covered terrace. Also on this level is a bedroom with dressing room, a utility room, boiler room, bathroom and separate WC.

Upstairs, there are three further bedrooms, one of which has its own WC and washbasin.

The house benefits from gas-fired central heating and double glazing. The roof was renewed approximately 15 years ago.

Attached Guest House – 70 m²

Attached to the main house, this additional accommodation offers excellent potential for guest accommodation or a hospitality business.

The ground floor has a central entrance leading to two separate rooms, each with its own shower room and WC. One is described as a bedroom, while the other offers flexible accommodation.

Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms, each with its own shower room and WC.

The property benefits from electric heating and double glazing, providing a practical and independent space for welcoming guests.

Detached Gîte – 104 m²

The separate gîte has been fully and tastefully renovated and provides comfortable accommodation for family, friends or holiday guests.

The ground floor comprises an attractive living area with fitted kitchen. Upstairs are two generous bedrooms of approximately 27 m² each, both with their own private shower room and WC.

Heating is provided by reversible air conditioning and electric heating. The property also benefits from double glazing and a solar-powered sun awning. The roof was renewed in 2019, and the septic tank was replaced in the same year and is compliant.

An adjoining room of approximately 47 m² offers further scope for extending the existing accommodation or creating an additional gîte, subject to the necessary permissions.

Equestrian Facilities and Outbuildings

The extensive grounds have been arranged with horses and equestrian activities in mind. The property includes a lunge ring, numerous paddocks with convenient access and water points, and individual shelters in each paddock.

A 28-metre-deep well provides an additional water source.

The equestrian buildings include:

A 75 m² barn with three spacious horse boxes.

A partially open-sided hangar of approximately 204 m².

A 64 m² stable building with an upper floor.

Together, these facilities provide an excellent foundation for an equestrian project, horse boarding, private horse ownership or other rural activities.

The possibility of purchasing additional adjoining land offers further flexibility for anyone wishing to expand the estate or increase the available grazing.

Location

The property is situated near Sauvagny, a small rural commune in the Allier department, surrounded by open countryside and traditional Bourbonnais farmland.

Cosne-d'Allier is approximately 4 km away and provides everyday amenities including shops, restaurants, schools and local services. It is the nearest main centre for day-to-day requirements.

Villefranche-d'Allier is approximately 8 km away, while the picturesque medieval village of Hérisson, with its historic castle ruins and attractive riverside setting, is around 15 km away.

The historic spa town of Bourbon-l'Archambault is also within reach, offering thermal baths, historic architecture and additional amenities. Montluçon and Moulins provide larger commercial centres, wider services and transport connections.

The surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for riding, walking and cycling, with a landscape of fields, woodland and quiet country lanes.

A Rare Opportunity

This is a particularly versatile property offering much more than a traditional country home. With three separate dwellings, nine bedrooms, extensive equestrian facilities and over 16 hectares of land, it is ideally suited to a variety of projects.

Whether you are considering an equestrian business, holiday rentals, guest accommodation or simply looking for a substantial rural estate with space for family, friends and animals, this property offers an exceptional opportunity in a peaceful corner of the Bourbonnais countryside.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
