14th century fortified house in Chautagne

On the heights of the commune of Ruffieux, on the edge of the forest, stands this majestic property of 378.86 sqm of living space, located on a plot of approximately 4,500 sqm. A true haven of peace, this house invites you to step back in history, while offering comfort that suits those looking for a place to live anchored in the 21st century.

Spread over four levels, this property stands out with its layout. The discreet entrance is on the 1st floor: the heart of the house. The charm operates from the arrival through the dining room, serving a bedroom with a plunging view of the surrounding countryside. This is followed by a semi-open kitchen, opening onto a vast living room decorated with its natural stone fireplace.

A magnificent original spiral staircase then leads to the second floor. Then, a converted attic is revealed, containing a billiard room and a sleeping area with its shower room.

The mezzanine floor reveals a warm and intimate space, composed of a charming library and its balcony, a cozy living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Finally, a separate master suite of impressive dimensions concludes this level. Its assets? A bathtub, a walk-in shower, and a De Dietrich stove on an Egyptian stone floor that will not leave you indifferent. A balcony completes this cozy space.

The garden level accommodates a separate studio with an open kitchen and a newly renovated bathroom. Outside, an extension converted into a dining room borders a terrace delimited by stone walls and offering breathtaking views. The garden then extends into a green space, ideal for recharging your batteries in the shade of a palm tree. A cellar, a garage, a workshop, and a former stable complete the ensemble.

With its undeniable character, elegance, and unique atmosphere, this family home is a rare opportunity in a discreet setting while remaining in close proximity to the city center. It’s just a ten-minute drive to Culoz train station, which offers easy access to Geneva and Lyon.

A little further up, a building plot of nearly 650 m2 offers great development potential. A successful combination of authenticity and functionality, this confidential address, ideal for a family or second home project, definitely has a lot to offer.
