Full Description


Ref : 68236DD
We would like to introduce you to the Château de Bassignac, a historic building dating from the 13th and 16th centuries. A former fortified house, the Château de Bassignac is located in the Cantal region, in the heart of the Massif Central. This place steeped in history welcomed the Grand Condé in 1652. Nearby is the medieval town of Salers, famous for its cobbled streets, lava stone houses and rich historical heritage. The region is also dotted with Romanesque churches and the many châteaux of the Haute-Auvergne, testimony to a fascinating medieval past.
Château de Bassignac, 566 m² in size, combines character and comfort. It comprises three distinct sections:
- Ground floor: The living areas are located here, with a large through lounge, a dining room with wood-burning stove, a small lounge, a kitchen and a bedroom with en suite shower room. The large windows and high ceilings provide exceptional light.
- First floor: Accessed by a stone staircase, this floor houses three bedrooms with fireplaces and three bathrooms.
- Second floor: Here you will find three further bedrooms, a bathroom and access to the attic space, which could potentially be converted. A large vaulted basement includes a bedroom and a cellar.
Period features such as fireplaces, aged oak parquet flooring, exposed beams, slate roofing and light-coloured local stone walls add to the authenticity of this unique property.
The 1.7 hectares of parkland, fully enclosed and perfectly maintained, is planted with a variety of tree species (cedar of Lebanon, maples, walnut trees, magnolias, etc.). There is a 5x10m heated swimming pool, a pergola, and two annexes: one housing a large spa and sauna, and the other used as a Diy and painting workshop.
Major works have been carried out over the last two years, including improved insulation, the installation of an air/water heat pump and partial refurbishment of the electrical system.
This magnificent property lends itself equally well to a main residence or a professional activity, such as renting out gîtes or chambres d'hôtes. The enchanting setting and proximity to the Parc National des Volcans d'Auvergne and the Dordogne gorges make this an exceptional place to discover the natural and historical riches of the region.
