Château des Terrasses stands in Saint-Quentin-sur-Sauxillanges (Puy-de-Dôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

In Saint-Quentin-sur-Sauxillanges, this bourgeois residence from the mid 19th century stands apart from the village through its architecture: whitewashed facades, slate roof, balconies in Volvic stone. Built in 1850 for a Lyon industrialist native to the village, the house is arranged over terraces and retaining walls on a steeply sloping plot, with views toward Sauxillanges, the Cézallier and the Sancy massif. The park still holds exotic trees planted at the turn of the 20th century along with a family vault in Carrara marble.
