About this property

4* Large, comfortable house for 8-10 people with horses, goats and chickens

Perfect for friend or family get togethers! Lovely views surrounded by wonderful countryside in a quiet hamlet just a short walk from one of France’s most beautiful villages, Usson.
We are situated in the Livradois-Forez National Park.
A Wine and cheese lovers paradise. Lots of hill top villages to explore and many outdoor activities. This part of France is really a hidden gem, far from the crowds of the Dordogne or south of France.

In the gîte you’ll find a huge living/dining room, 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 recently renovated bathrooms, 2WCs, a conservatory overlooking the fields and a recently renovated fully fitted and equipped kitchen. The house is decorated with many items from our expatriations abroad.
Outside are two terraces, a BBQ and a lawn area.
We have been classified a 4* holiday let by Gites de France.
The downstairs of the house is cool in summer and warm in winter due to the thick walls and vaulted ceiling.
You’ll be surrounded by nature. We have many birds, deer, red squirrels, badgers and bats on the property which totals 22 acres. We are protected garden (refuge LPO) with the French equivalent of the RSPB.

Come and help us feed the goats and horses, collect fresh eggs from the chickens.

If you like walking, there’s a footpath accessible from the house.

In summer, if it’s hot just a short 10 minute drive away, there’s a lovely lake with a restaurant where you can go swimming, rent pédalos and have fun at the rope park.

Easy access as we are only 8mins from the motorway.
We are registered with the town hall in Usson and the Issoire Tourist Information Centre.

Wedding guests from weddings at the Chateau de Bois Rigaud are welcome.

Parfait pour un groupe
Groupe d'amis, le logement est très agréable, avec une grande pièce de vie et 4 chambres. Les hôtes ont été supers, les enfants ont adoré nourrir les animaux et le jardin. Nous avons bien profité de l'espace commun Je recommande

Perfect location for a 2 night stay in the area
We booked this place mostly because of the proximity of the venue of wedding we were attending. Communication with the host was great thru the VRBO app and the house was absolutely perfect for our needs: sleep comfortably 10 adults for 2 nights. A nice bonus was to enjoy the beautiful front patio and the veranda for breakfast both mornings.

Gite très confortable, WE pentecôte déconfinement réussi
Le gite est très agréable et spacieux, que ce soit les chambres ou la pièce de vie. Il est également très bien équipé, mieux qu'indiqué sur l'annonce :) Les propriétaires sont très accueillants, ils ont passé du temps avec nos enfants à nourrir les chèvres et à s'occuper des poules. Les enfants étaient ravis ! Nous avons passé un très bon séjour malgré un temps parfois moyen, compensé par un poêle que nous avons pu utiliser le soir. A proximité le village d'Husson est à faire ainsi que la vallée des Saints mais avec pas mal de monde à cet endroit. Endroit 100% nature et adapté au trail.
