14 Bed Property for sale
La Guerche-sur-l'Aubois, Cher, Centre, France
Full Description
In the heart of a lively village famous for its traditional market—ideally located where the Cher, Nièvre, and Allier regions meet—this authentic 564 sq m hôtel particulier, thoughtfully repurposed into a boutique hotel, instantly charms with its warm and welcoming atmosphere. A character-filled property, it is the ideal setting for a large family home or a hospitality project.
From the moment you step through the wrought-iron gates, the 19th-century facade sets the tone with its elegant cut-stone framing and balustrades. Inside, the magic continues thanks to the meticulous preservation of original period features. Carved woodwork, antique parquet flooring, coffered ceilings with stucco rosettes, and grand fireplaces all bear witness to exceptional craftsmanship. A striking highlight of the entrance hall, the base of the staircase features a custom hand-carved solid oak figure—a protective Neo-Renaissance face that immediately imbues the home with a unique personality.
Spanning three sunlit levels, the main residence offers a generous layout. The ground floor is designed for gathering, featuring a grand main living room, a more intimate small lounge, a dining room wrapped in carved woodwork, a quiet study, and a suite . On the upper floors, the sleeping quarters comprise 10 comfortable bedrooms, designed as cozy retreats, along with 8 bathrooms/ shower rooms.
Extending from the courtyard, the former orangerie adds a distinctive architectural touch with its red-brick structure and large workshop-style glass windows. Fully converted, this 8-room annex includes its own reception hall and additional sleeping quarters. It serves as a valuable asset for comfortably hosting guests, creating holiday cottages (gîtes), running a bed-and-breakfast, or hosting private events.
