Beautifully Renovated 18th Century Farmhouse, Auzelles, Puy De Dome

Property Description

This beautifully renovated 18th-century farmhouse enjoys a private and tranquil setting within the Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park, between Issoire and Ambert and around 50 km southwest of Clermont-Ferrand. Surrounded by woods and meadows, the property offers a wonderful sense of space and connection with nature, while a village with schools, shops and services is just 5 km away.

The house has been extensively renovated while retaining its original character, with the main living accommodation rebuilt in 2009, double glazing throughout and excellent insulation. It currently offers 141 m² of living space, together with approximately 150 m² of additional space offering considerable potential for gîtes, guest accommodation or further living space.

The ground floor comprises a generous 41 m² kitchen/dining room with fireplace, wood-burning stove and underfloor heating, together with a 44 m² sitting room opening onto a 27 m² terrace. Both rooms enjoy attractive views over the garden, meadows and woodland.

There is also a cellar and a covered entrance leading to the adjoining studio/workshop.

Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room. A further 12 m² bedroom is accessed from the studio/workshop, while the 45 m² workshop and its 45 m² upper floor provide excellent scope for conversion.

The adjoining 48 m² barn, with its impressive 300-year-old fireplace and renovated roof, offers further possibilities for creating a gîte, guest accommodation or large studio.

The property occupies a south-facing 2,665 m² plot with a private well and uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. An all-water septic tank, installed in 2007, was inspected and approved in January 2026.

The Parc Naturel Régional du Livradois-Forez is a wonderfully unspoilt area of rolling hills, deep forests, rivers and mountain landscapes, offering endless opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits.

The region is particularly appealing in summer, with numerous lakes, rivers and natural swimming spots, including the popular swimming lakes at Arlanc, Cunlhat and Saint-Anthème.

Scattered throughout the landscape are pretty villages and historic market towns such as Ambert, Olliergues and Cunlhat, with stone houses, traditional architecture and a relaxed, authentic Auvergne atmosphere.
