Moored along the Marne au Rhin canal, this Freycinet barge built in 1950 offers 141 m² of living space, spread over 39 metres in length and 5 metres in width. Renovated as a floating home, it offers a unique living environment, combining privacy, calm and direct contact with nature. The hull was completely replaced in 2008, guaranteeing its solidity. An open-air terrace provides a soothing environment, with an unobstructed view of the water and the European Parliament. Situated close to all amenities, it benefits from a strategic location between the city and the tranquility of the river.

The entrance to the home is from the bridge, through a generous 47 m² living room, with a fitted kitchen opening onto the lounge. The numerous windows offer direct views over the canal, inviting contemplation. Towards the bow, a bathroom and a 26 m² technical area, currently dedicated to the heat pump, can easily be converted into a bedroom, office or leisure area. At the stern, a 28 m² bedroom offers a comfortable, light-filled space. The wheelhouse has been converted into a 10 m² room. A staircase gives access to the former boatman’s cabin, an independent space that could be used for a seasonal rental project or as extra accommodation.

Outside, the terrace on the deck allows you to make the most of the warm weather, in an exotic, green setting. This open-air space is ideal for creating a floating garden or setting up an outdoor lounge. The immediate environment combines nature and accessibility: shops, schools, transport and services are just a few minutes away on foot or by bike, making this a place to live that’s as practical as it is original.

This barge stands out for its potential for conversion, the generosity of its volumes and the rarity of its habitable format. Perfect for a main residence project where comfort has not been forgotten, thanks in particular to underfloor heating, it offers a way of living as the water goes by, in a home that is mobile, poetic and authentic, and that can also be rented out for unusual purposes. It’s a unique property that can be redesigned to suit your desires, for a living experience outside the traditional real estate framework.
