🏰 Forget the Prince Charming, find his estate instead! Have you always dreamed of castle life without having to bankrupt yourself heating 40 unnecessary rooms? Good news: royalty is finally adapting to real life! Welcome to the "Château de la corde." A place steeped in history where the lord of the manor once had locals cross the river to connect Commelle-Vernay (42120) to Villerest (42300). Today, no need for oars or a boatman's license: this incredible 160 m² habitable building opens its doors directly to you! 👑 Inside the Estate First level (For daily royal living): A warm living room, a dining room for your banquets, an equipped kitchen where you can prepare your finest feasts, a boiler room, and a master suite to reign in complete peace. Second floor (Climb the spiral staircase): Ascend this emblematic spiral staircase to discover 2 spacious bedrooms and an office on the upper floors, perfect for welcoming your princes, princesses, or passing guests. Top floor (The highlight): Reach the summit with 2 additional bedrooms and direct access to a sublime terrace with crenellated ramparts. Just above, the majestic turret with its rounded roof in slate tiles with a "beaver tail" pattern completes this fairy-tale setting. Perfect for surveying your kingdom, sipping a drink at sunset, or simply playing Rapunzel on Sunday mornings! 🌳 Exterior Worthy of a Small Kingdom On the gardens and outbuildings side, prepare to be the sovereign of a true haven of peace: Reception & relaxation area: A gigantic flat courtyard at the front, ideal for entertaining, with a covered shelter housing an authentic bread oven (for royal pizza or country bread evenings). Just above, discover the covered swimming pool and its pool house for your laps year-round. Nature & self-sufficiency side: At the back, enjoy a refined landscaped garden, a vegetable garden, and a greenhouse. Animal area: A well-appointed kennel and two immense meadows (to welcome horses, alpacas, or your future four-legged companions). Outbuildings & potential: Two very large buildings serving as garages, one of which offers an additional hundred square meters that can be renovated upstairs (ideal for a guesthouse, guest studio, or artist's workshop). 💧 The Miraculous Spring And because every good castle has its mysteries, the estate has its own natural water spring! Historically linked to the famous pilgrimage of the "Good Water" of Vernay (traditionally celebrated in early September, around September 8-15), this miraculous water is an integral part of the folklore and unique charm of this exceptional place.
