Former sheepfold dating from 1830 and its contemporary glass roof in Veigy-Foncenex

Layers of dry stone walls accentuate the horizon, while a contemporary glass roof captures the sky. This place isn’t described, it’s experienced, offering an architectural reinterpretation where the history of 1830 fades before open-plan spaces.

This former sheepfold for sale in Veigy-Foncenex offers 251 sqm of living space (314 sqm of floor space) on a landscaped plot.

A balance between preserving the original materials and incorporating structural light defines this project. The renovation project is based on an architecture organized on split levels, creating a fluidity between spaces rather than a succession of partitioned rooms. The open-plan ground floor houses a kitchen opening onto the dining room, which extends into a living room punctuated by a fireplace.
The exposed stone walls and original beams, preserved during the construction, interact with contemporary furnishings.
A large glass extension alters the perception of the spaces. Designed like a winter garden, it provides constant natural light and creates a seamless transition to the outdoors.

The sleeping area is also divided into split levels to ensure privacy. The master suite, opening onto the garden, has its own bathroom and dressing room. A second wing of the house houses another bedroom with a shower room, as well as a large intermediate room. This flexible space can be used as a library, a workspace, or a recreation room, depending on your needs. In the attic, two additional volumes offer potential for conversion into extra bedrooms or secluded home offices.

Outside, the 1,000 sqm landscaped garden surrounds the house. It is complemented by an inner courtyard with four private parking spaces. A terrace extends naturally from the veranda, creating a direct connection with the grounds.

Located in the heart of Veigy-Foncenex, the town offers a peaceful residential environment while ensuring immediate proximity to Geneva’s economic centers. Access to village amenities and border infrastructure is just 5 minutes away, facilitating daily commutes. This charming property, enhanced by contemporary design and striking proportions, benefits from a strategic location on the Swiss border, in an area where land opportunities are limited.
