Master House In The Heart Of Belley

A testament to the great hours of the Bugey province, this Master House, built in 1720, embodies the soul and splendor of a bygone era. Acquired in 1762 by the Cyvoct family to become the House of the States of the Province, it was the nerve center for meetings of the Clergy, Nobility, and the Third Estate until the Revolution. For over three centuries, this exceptional residence has withstood the test of time with its intact majesty, granting its occupants the rare privilege of living within a heritage steeped in history and character.

From the entrance, a masterpiece of craftsmanship and architecture unfolds: its gate, completed in 1770, is the work of Duplessis, an engineer of the Bridges and Roads, and was crafted by the master locksmith Michel Lorrain. It stands out in stone with a harmonious curve, framed by finely cut walls. Its intricately wrought iron gate, once topped with a count’s crown, still seems to watch over this exceptional place today.

Beyond this prestigious entrance, the architecture reveals a rare nobility, enhanced by a ceiling height that offers an unparalleled sense of space and light. Every detail reflects ancestral craftsmanship: moldings, fireplaces, and other elements confer an incomparable charm to this residence. The library, a true gem, houses superb books and artifacts, while the rooms, both classified as heritage sites, impose their presence and tell the story of this soulful place.

Spread over three levels, the house reveals spacious rooms and a versatile layout, allowing for countless projects. Each space, bathed in natural light, offers a fluid distribution, ideal for a family home. The configuration also allows for the creation of additional living areas, providing rare flexibility.

Outside, the garden extends the majesty of the premises. Sheltered from prying eyes, this haven of peace combines tranquility and elegance, while benefiting from a privileged location in the heart of Belley. This exceptional property is destined for lovers of heritage and unique places, where history and beauty intertwine.
