42160 Andrézieux-Bouthéon - Exceptional Property Ensemble for Sale
Valentine Ducreux, on behalf of Efficity Prestige, presents for sale a rare and remarkable estate comprising five distinctive buildings, nestled in the heart of Andrézieux-Bouthéon. A Provençal escape in the Loire region...
Let's start with a more poetic approach...
Named "On dirait le Sud" ("Feels like the South"), this phrase perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere and setting of this unique property. Spread across more than 7,400 sqm of land, where serenity, nature, and authenticity intertwine, you'll discover:
• The Main House: a masterful blend of tradition and modernity. Inspired by 18th-century bastides, this recently built home faithfully adopts their timeless codes: noble materials, harmonious proportions, traditional layout, and that unmistakable charm often reserved for historic properties. Behind its authentic appearance lies every modern comfort. The quality of the features and the attention to detail in the decor suggest a home designed with far more than simple living in mind.
One particularly striking element is the main staircase. Located in the central hall, this sweeping staircase captures the eye from the moment you enter. Its fluid lines and generous proportions offer both ease of movement and a clear illustration of the care taken in designing this home for comfort and well-being.
• The Lodge du Colombier: a charming annex to the Main House, this elegant retreat features a large garage on the garden level and a beautifully furnished 4-star tourist studio upstairs, highly rated since its initial launch.
• The Blue Villa: a home with architecture inspired by history and true to the spirit of the estate, yet inside, it reveals a distinctly contemporary style. This recently built villa boasts top-tier finishes. The bold selection of materials makes it unmatched on the local market. Every line is remarkably precise, and the carefully crafted perspectives reinforce the sense of flowing space and abundant light. With its stunning views and single-level layout, it promises peaceful days in absolute comfort.
• The Atelier: a blank canvas for your imagination. This water-tight and air-tight structure near the Blue Villa offers a spacious outbuilding ready for transformation into living space, storage, reception area, gallery, or more. Even in its raw state, the panoramic view already sets it apart.
• The Orangery: the final chapter yet to be written. Also water- and air-tight, this building includes a semi-basement and a main floor at garden level awaiting your vision. Though unfinished, its architectural presence already speaks volumes and will undoubtedly appeal to those with a taste for extraordinary properties.
A Southern-Accented Estate, Where Elegance Meets Potential
From the very entrance, the Provençal charm is unmistakable. A paved alleyway leads to a small square in front of the Lodge, then to a southeast-facing courtyard serving the Main House. Cypress trees punctuate the space, lavender begins a fragrant path, and carefully chosen shrubs complete the refined landscape. A mature wisteria, honeysuckle, and trumpet vine grace a curved steel pergola that combines strength and delicacy. To the west, terraced plane trees whisper of summer shade, while a cypress-lined path stretches toward the horizon, as if Provence and Tuscany had chosen to meet right here in the Loire.
Take the panoramic path—an independent, discreet access—ending in three majestic oaks that mark the entrance to the Blue Villa. The garden, defined by dry-stone walls, reveals a decorative medieval well. You may find yourself lingering under the curved pergola, already shaped by time and perfumed by wisteria, honeysuckle, and roses, or strolling the cypress alley. The space just in front of the villa offers great potential for a convivial terrace or a swimming pool.
Finally, various garden areas are bordered by French-style trimmed hedges.
