Loft house converted from a 19th-century barn

Located in the heart of the village of Massongy, just 15 minutes from the Geneva border, this decidedly unusual loft-style house is the result of a bold renovation of an old barn dating back to 1886. With a total living area of 285 sqm on a plot of 1,173 sqm, it comprises a contemporary main residence and a separate duplex with great potential.

In a minimalist style, while retaining the solid character of its original structure, the interior design plays with levels and perspectives to offer spectacular volumes and a fluid interpretation of the rooms. The main entrance opens onto a large hall with functional storage space. Separated by a low wall, a summer kitchen offers direct access to the garden. This level has two bedrooms with custom-made furniture including wardrobes and desks. Connected by a shared bathroom, one of the bedrooms has direct access to the outside.

Upstairs, the soul of the house is revealed on a spectacular 110 sqm plateau under a massive whitewashed roof structure. Bathed in light from large bay windows and skylights, the exceptionally spacious living room features a lounge with a fireplace and a dining area adjacent to an open kitchen, combining brushed stainless steel and authentic zellige tiles. An airy mezzanine overlooking the reception area serves as an office or reading corner, while in a more intimate setting, there is a master bedroom with a private shower room.

The building includes an independent duplex flat in need of refurbishment, measuring approximately 70 sqm. The ground floor features an entrance hall, a country-style and industrial-style kitchen, and a small living room opening onto the garden. The first floor has two bedrooms with parquet flooring, sharing a large bathroom. Ideal for entertaining or for a rental project. A storeroom with laundry room completes this unique property full of character.

The exterior retains the authenticity of the original building, guaranteeing an exceptional and discreet property. At the front, a courtyard provides easy parking for several vehicles and on the south-east side, a large garden offers a peaceful green space for relaxation. The immediate surroundings invite you to enjoy the calm of a preserved rural area, while remaining close to amenities.
