This imposing Hôtel Particulier, a Renaissance château lovingly restored by its current owner over a period of almost twenty years, is situated on one side in the heart of the medieval town and on the other side almost in the countryside. With a masterly view of the Auvergne volcanoes in the Massif Central at Thiers, it is nestled on the rocky slopes of the Forez and faces the Puy-de-Dôme.

Thiers is a small town with ten thousand inhabitants and was already famous for its knife-making in the Middle Ages. You will find all the shops and amenities you need, including a market every Saturday morning, a cultural centre, a municipal swimming pool, a library, a cinema, parks, restaurants, a music and dance conservatory, 500 medieval houses, a stadium, a railway station, etc.

Clermont-Ferrand's international airport Aulnat is 34 km away. The ski resort of Super Besse is 80 km away. Lyon is 100 km away.

Currently used as a Bed and Breakfast, this bright house offers 480 m2 of completely renovated living space, with little left to do in the rest of the building.

A spiral staircase with 158 cm wide stone steps leads to the first floor in a concert hall (105m2 which is used as a living room outside concerts) with a large black marble fireplace, a large modern kitchen equipped and open for receptions and in the Tower a storage room for concert chairs.

On the 2nd floor: a 35 m2 living room with fireplace, open plan kitchen, in the Tower a small library, at the back a linen/dressing room and then a bedroom with its bathroom and hanging toilet.

In the spiral staircase there is still a toilet from 1700 and a small room that was used as a servant's bath.

The outbuildings :

1st basement accessible via the wider stone spiral staircase, comprising an old vaulted kitchen from 1450 with a large fireplace from the period and a stone sink from the period, a cellar. On the other side of the landing, a large stone paved room of 65 m2 is already provided with all the facilities to make a flat.

The facades can only be done after all the interior work has been completed. The 2022 estimates for the facades are available. In a few months, the narrow house next door will also be for sale by the neighbour, this would be suitable to create a lift to easily service all levels. A lot of potential in all areas for this townhouse, a private mansion that belonged to the Grande Demoiselle, Anne Marie d'Orléans, cousin of Louis XIV.
The building is located within the perimeter of the church, thus the heritage of Thiers and the door of the main façade has been listed as a national monument since 1927.

There is no garden or balcony for this property.

All of the windows have been changed to grey painted wooden windows, double-glazed (tilt and turn for 9 of them), except on the medieval town side where the old windows from 1700 have been preserved at the request of the Monuments Historiques. The building has town gas central heating with cast iron radiators and is connected to the mains drainage system.
