Witness to the great hours of the province of Bugey, this Maison de Maître, built in 1720, embodies the soul and splendour of a bygone era. Acquired in 1762 by the Cyvoct family to become the House of the Estates of the Province, it was the nerve centre of meetings of the Clergy, the Nobility and the Third Estate until the Revolution. For more than three centuries, this exceptional residence has stood the test of time with undiminished majesty, giving its occupants the rare privilege of living in a heritage steeped in history and character.
As soon as you enter, a masterpiece of goldsmithing and architecture is revealed: its monumental portal, completed in 1770, is the work, designed with absolute elegance by Duplessis, sub-engineer of the Ponts et Chaussées, then made by the master locksmith Michel Lorrain. It stands out in the stone with a harmonious curve, framed by cushioned low walls. Its finely crafted gate, once topped by a count's crown, still seems to watch over this exceptional place today.
Past this prestigious entrance, the 519 m2 of living space reveal an architecture of rare nobility, sublimated by a ceiling height of 3.90 meters, offering an unparalleled feeling of space and light. Every detail testifies to ancestral know-how: French ceilings, oak floors patinated by time, carved marble fireplaces, so many elements that give this residence an incomparable cachet. The library, a real jewel, houses superb ribbed vaults and colorful stained glass windows, while the stone staircase and the framework, both listed as heritage, impose their presence and tell the story of this place full of soul.
Spread over three levels, the house reveals two kitchens, five spacious bedrooms, two elegant living rooms and a wing for professional use, giving free rein to countless projects. Each space, bathed in natural light, offers a fluid distribution, ideal for a prestigious residence, a bed and breakfast project or a professional activity. The configuration also allows for the creation of self-contained apartments, offering rare flexibility.
Outside, the enclosed land of 1,150 m2 extends the majesty of the place. Out of sight, this haven of peace combines privacy and serenity, while benefiting from a privileged location in the heart of Belley. A few restoration works will fully reveal the original splendour of this exceptional building, where each stone bears the imprint of time and the prestige of the past.
A unique and timeless property, intended for lovers of heritage and exceptional places, where history, elegance and character combine with perfection.

Témoin des grandes heures de la province du Bugey, cette Maison de Maître, érigée en 1720, incarne l’âme et le faste d’une époque révolue. Acquise en 1762 par la famille Cyvoct pour devenir la Maison des États de la Province, elle fut le centre névralgique des réunions du Clergé, de la Noblesse et du Tiers État jusqu’à la Révolution. Depuis plus de trois siècles, cette demeure d’exception traverse le temps avec une majesté intacte, livrant à ses occupants le privilège rare de vivre au sein d’un patrimoine empreint d’histoire et de caractère.
Dès l’entrée, un chef-d’œuvre d’orfèvrerie et d’architecture se dévoile : son portail monumental, achevé en 1770, est l’œuvre, dessiné avec une élégance absolue de Duplessis, sous-ingénieur des Ponts et Chaussées, puis réalisé par le maître-serrurier Michel Lorrain. Il s’impose dans la pierre avec une courbe harmonieuse, encadré de murets taillés à coussinet. Sa grille finement ouvragée, autrefois surmontée d’une couronne comtale, semble encore aujourd’hui veiller sur ce lieu d’exception.
Passée cette entrée prestigieuse, les 519 m2 habitables révèlent une architecture d’une rare noblesse, sublimée par une hauteur sous plafond de 3,90 mètres, offrant une sensation d’espace et de lumière inégalée. Chaque détail témoigne d’un savoir-faire ancestral : plafonds à la française, parquets en chêne patinés par le temps, cheminées en marbre sculpté, autant d’éléments qui confèrent à cette demeure un cachet incomparable. La bibliothèque, véritable joyau, abrite de superbes voûtes d’ogives et des vitraux colorés, tandis que l’escalier en pierre et la charpente, tous deux classés au patrimoine, imposent leur prestance et racontent l’histoire de ce lieu chargé d’âme.
Répartie sur trois niveaux, la maison dévoile deux cuisines, cinq chambres spacieuses, deux séjours élégants et une aile à usage professionnel, laissant libre cours à d’innombrables projets. Chaque espace, baigné de lumière naturelle, offre une distribution fluide, idéale pour une résidence de prestige, un projet de chambres d’hôtes ou une activité professionnelle. La configuration permet également la création d’appartements indépendants, offrant ainsi une flexibilité rare.
À l’extérieur, le terrain clos de 1 150 m2 prolonge la majesté des lieux. À l’abri des regards, ce havre de paix conjugue intimité et sérénité, tout en bénéficiant d’un emplacement privilégié au cœur de Belley. Quelques travaux de restauration permettront de révéler pleinement la splendeur originelle de cette bâtisse d’exception, où chaque pierre porte l’empreinte du temps et le prestige du passé.
Un bien unique et intemporel, destiné aux amateurs de patrimoine et de lieux d’exception, où histoire, élégance et caractère se conjuguent avec perfection.
