BELLENAVES, Auvergne, Address available on request

In the centre of the former Bourbonnais province, 40 minutes from Vichy and surrounded by peaceful countryside, a former parish and its parish church, transformed into a residence. Upon leaving a modest hamlet, composed of three houses, the property is surrounded by pastures and bordered by a stream, far from all disturbances.
The dwelling is formed by two main buildings - the smaller one corresponds to the presbyteral dwelling, while the second one was once a former barn - and opens onto a gravel courtyard to the east and the garden and swimming pool to the west.
The main dwelling has three levels, with an outside stone staircase that directly leads to the first floor. This level communicates with the adjacent former barn, the interior layout of which completes those in the first house. Built up against a slight slope, the ground floors are located partially underground. As such, opposite the front façade, the first floor is at the same level as the garden and swimming pool. The former barn has a flat-tile Bourbonnais roof with genoise corbels and its walls are composed of old stonework with white limestone window and door surrounds.
The former church forms a single building, which occupies the centre of the parcel and abuts the main dwelling to the south. The property is accessible via two entrances, one facing the courtyard of the main dwelling, while another is located next to the former church.
