42160 Andrézieux-Bouthéon – La Grande Maison & its Lodge
Valentine Ducreux, from Efficity Prestige, presents this charming duo for sale, nestled in the heart of a beautifully landscaped garden of nearly 3,500 m². A Southern-inspired escape in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Once upon a time…
It's called La Grande Maison, and it's not just about size.
It's a home that commands attention with its presence and captivates with its soul.
Inspired by 18th-century bastides, this 2002-built residence combines the timeless charm of old stone with the softness of modern comfort. Every detail has been carefully thought out: materials, light, perspectives… The result is an elegant, functional interior that radiates the warmth of a true family home.
Among its standout features, the main staircase deserves a special mention. Located in the heart of the house, this sweeping staircase catches the eye as soon as you step inside. Its graceful curve and generous proportions offer both aesthetic beauty and everyday ease — a true symbol of the thoughtful design behind this residence.
And because every jewel needs its setting, the Lodge du Colombier, just next door, adds a touch of independence and elegance. A modern cocoon with flawless finishes, perfect for hosting family, friends, or travelers seeking calm and comfort.

A structured garden with Southern flair
From the moment you arrive, the Provençal character of the estate is clear.
A paved driveway leads to a charming courtyard in front of the Lodge, then continues on to the main entrance of La Grande Maison, where beige crushed-stone paths guide the way.
Slender cypress trees, fragrant lavender beds, and dry-stone retaining walls shape the landscape with purpose and poetry.
To the east, a platanus-lined courtyard offers a peaceful Provençal ambiance.
To the south, a curved steel pergola, weathered by time, is woven with wisteria, honeysuckle, and trumpet vines, creating a soft, filtered light — a true summer refuge. Thoughtfully chosen shrubs complete this lush and elegant setting.
