Property Details
This tastefully restored farm cottage gîte is in a small and friendly hamlet in the commune of Saint Ilpize, in the heart Auvergne's beautiful Haut-Allier valley, 90 km. south of Clermont Ferrand. The stone-built gite has been carefully and attractively restored. The hillside behind (starting just behind the house) is a class 1 nature reserve ( . The area is a haven for nature lovers, with its wealth of wildlife - birds, mammals and plants - including eagles, deer and even small wild prickly-pear cacti.
On the ground floor there is a spacious living area with dining table for six, and comfortable chairs, under a beamed ceiling. The two windows look out over the valley, with views down to the river and up to the hilltops opposite. There is a semi-enclosed kitchen area with gas cooker, fridge-freezer, top-loading washing machine and cupboards. Above, there are three bedrooms, two with double beds and one with two twin beds.
In summer months, there is good swimming in the river just a few hundred yards from the cottage. The area is great for hiking, mountain-biking and other rural pursuits.
