Former 18th-century blacksmith workshop reinvented as a contemporary loft

Located in a secluded and unspoiled setting just a few kilometers from the Swiss border, this former 18th-century workshop and forge offers a timeless escape. With approximately 183 sqm of living space, this rare property skillfully blends the history of a workshop with contemporary comfort.

Nestled in a verdant setting bordered by the Petit Journans stream, this characterful residence perfectly embodies the unique real estate market near Geneva, offering a living environment where calm and serenity harmoniously coexist.

The interior reveals a subtle interplay between artisanal heritage and modernity. Adjoining on only one side, the exposed stone walls and sandblasted beams bear witness to the building’s history, enhanced by a high-quality renovation in 2016.

The ground floor boasts generous proportions in a loft-like style, with a fitted kitchen seamlessly integrated into the former forge, opening onto a spacious and bright living room. A wood-burning stove and a separate TV lounge complete these inviting living spaces.

The upper floor, dedicated to relaxation, features two comfortable bedrooms and a master suite with a dressing room and a private wellness area complete with a sauna, ensuring a soothing atmosphere in all seasons. This level also benefits from a separate bathroom.

The exterior extends this tranquil lifestyle. The landscaped garden of approximately 60sqm, a true haven of peace, invites contemplation, while the raised terrace overlooks the gentle murmur of the Petit Journans stream. Private access to the stream allows for an intimate natural retreat, complemented by parking spaces.

Located in Brétigny, the property enjoys a strategic position, just ten minutes from Geneva Airport and fifteen minutes from international organizations and CERN.

This unique property, where every detail has been carefully considered to offer a harmonious living environment, represents a rare opportunity on the local real estate market.

The combination of preserved historical character and modern comfort appeals to those who appreciate places steeped in history and are looking for a discreet address.
