Sixties architect’s house and its breathtaking view

As if suspended above the Val de Lièpvre, this 1960s architect’s house is halfway between two jewels of the local heritage: the Frankenbourg castle at the foot of which it is built, and the Haut Koenigsbourg castle which it faces. Situated 15 minutes from Sélestat and its TGV station, the 161 m² house rises above the charming village of La Vancelle on 13 ares of land.

After a small porch, the entrance leads to the living rooms: first the kitchen, then the half-level living room whose design emphasises the architectural identity of the house. The unobstructed view that emerges from each opening encourages one to leave the house to enjoy it; the terrace is thus immediately accessible from each room. On the same level, an office allows you to enjoy the landscape, even while working. On the first floor, each room takes even greater advantage of the panorama: all but one have access to the balcony. Three bedrooms share a shower room, which are more suitable for children. The master suite has its own bathroom with shower and bath. In addition, there is a final bedroom which is currently used as an office. Outside, the garden makes the most of its abrupt silhouette: two terraces have been laid out for different uses, one for socialising, the other for enjoying the pool. Between the two, the planted beds give a bucolic charm to the place.

The village is a real walker’s paradise, with several paths leading from the house. In terms of amenities, a multi-service platform allows you to shop locally and the inter-communal transport system serves the commune. La Vancelle has the last single class in the Bas-Rhin, thus preserving this precious public service.
