Castle in Ydes

For Sale - Magnificent Neo-Renaissance Château in the Heart of the Pays Vert, Cantal.

Located in Ydes, in the northwest of the Cantal region, bordering the Corrèze and Puy-de-Dôme departments, the Château and its grounds welcome you to an exceptional natural setting. Ideally situated on the Aurillac-Clermont-Ferrand axis, just 30 minutes from the A89 motorway linking Lyon to Bordeaux, this prestigious property enjoys a privileged location in the heart of the Pays Vert.

Upon entering, a charming dovecote with glazed tiles overlooks an elegant tree-lined and gravelled driveway leading to a large parking area located to the northwest of the château. This driveway extends to an impressive terrace, offering panoramic views of the surrounding plain. An elegantly nestled swimming pool below the château is accessible via a monumental staircase, ensuring private and majestic access for moments of relaxation.

Originally a bourgeois residence built around 1830, it was transformed into a sumptuous Neo-Renaissance edifice at the beginning of the 20th century by the architect Raynaud and the sculptor Emile Gourgouillon. This blend of architectural styles lends the property a unique charm and character.
The château in its entirety, its interior decorations (vestibule, staircases, library, garden room, dining room, living room, bedrooms), as well as its garden with its terraces and folly, were listed as Historical Monuments by decree of November 18, 2002.

Upon entering the hall with its period mosaic floor, you will discover an elegant library conducive to contemplation, a fully renovated kitchen equipped with a La Cornue range, and a spacious living room also paved with the original mosaic. This living room leads to a large, bright sitting room, adorned with period moldings and wainscoting, opening onto the garden, as well as a dining room with a carved oak fireplace. Each space exudes authenticity and old-world elegance.
The central stone staircase leads to the first floor, where you'll discover four spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, combining comfort and privacy. On the second floor, two additional bedrooms await, along with an attic ripe for conversion, offering unique potential for development, with a ship's-hull roof structure that underscores the building's authenticity. A spiral stone staircase provides direct access from the attic to the kitchen, adding a touch of originality to this exceptional residence.

Among the many period features, you'll find antique parquet floors, authentic mosaics, wood paneling, moldings and wainscoting, as well as marble fireplaces that highlight the historic character of the property.

Nestled in an idyllic setting, this sumptuous 450 m² château offers a true haven of peace, nestled within a beautifully maintained, wooded park of over 57,000 m². Enjoy unobstructed views and a south-facing aspect that bathes the property in sunlight throughout the day.

The estate also includes three independent cottages of 40 m², 82 m², and 88 m², ideal for accommodating family and friends, or for developing a business or tourism venture.

This château is therefore a perfect place to recharge, host events, or even consider a bed and breakfast or holiday rental project.
