Raw potential and authenticity define this 19th-century farmhouse

Nestled in a peaceful, verdant setting in the sought-after commune of Ayse, this authentic 19th-century farmhouse awaits its future owners to write a new chapter in its history.

Set on nearly 1,500 sqm of land, this listed “traditional building” offers a characterful foundation and spectacular volumes across approximately 400 sqm of usable space, providing the ideal canvas for a contemporary renovation project that blends old-world charm with modern comfort.

The entrance currently opens onto a single-level living area of approximately 82 sqm, a testament to life in bygone days. This area comprises a living room with a kitchen and lounge, leading to the sleeping quarters with three bedrooms, one with a dressing room, and a bathroom.

But the true strength of this property lies in its generous volumes, ripe for reinterpretation, offering over 400 sqm of usable space.

On the ground floor, a habitable storage area and a large garage offer the possibility of opening up the space to create significant potential for expansion.

Upstairs, accessible from the outside, the former hay barn reveals a majestic open-plan space beneath its exposed beams. This cathedral-like volume suggests the creation of an inverted loft, a grand master suite, or an artist’s studio, where the original beams would enhance a bold architectural renovation.

In the basement, a utility and storage room with a stone cellar completes the property, as does the garden shed attached to the house.

The charm extends to the exterior, with land bordering agricultural land currently uncultivated (used as pasture for horses) at the rear of the house, offering the opportunity for a bucolic, peaceful, and private setting, perfect for a patio, a garden with mature trees, or even a large vegetable patch.

Finally, a former carpenter’s workshop, complete with a charming period wine press, offers additional space for a private retreat or storage.

This property presents a fantastic opportunity for those ready to undertake a complete renovation to breathe new life into this heritage building and create a unique living space, a blend of history and modernity.

All this is conveniently located near motorway access, just twenty minutes from the Geneva border and within approximately thirty minutes of the nearest ski resorts.
