RENOVATED FARM WITH ANNEX FLAT AND PERMACULTURE GARDEN
Key features
haven recreated in a historic farmhouse
Behind the walls of a 1884 farmhouse, an extensive renovation was carried out between 2017 and 2020. The result? A home that skillfully blends traditional character with modern comfort.
On the ground floor: two bedrooms, a workshop area, a laundry room, and a pantry used by the owners.
The living area captivates with its generous volume and louvered windows. At the heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen with a large modular island, thoughtfully designed for everyday life. A wood-burning stove with heat recovery brings warmth and atmosphere to the space.
Also on this level: a bedroom with a home office nook, filled with natural light and opening onto the landscape. A family bathroom and a closed terrace with folding windows complete this floor.
In the attic: two additional bedrooms and a bathroom.
Independent flat with versatile potential
With a private entrance, this 2.5‑room apartment is ideal for rental, hosting a relative or accommodating live‑in help. A private terrace can be added. Conversion to a 3.5‑room layout is possible by incorporating an adjacent room. The space can be tailored to suit future owners' needs.
The living garden: a world of its own
Here the soul of the property truly reveals itself. The land offers a haven of biodiversity and self‑sufficiency, designed according to permaculture principles.
An adjoining agricultural plot (under LDFR), a forested area, and the Parimbot stream — peacefully flowing below — are included in addition to the price (approx. CHF 4/m² for 9,472 m²).
Vegetable garden, greenhouse/orangery, chicken coop, sheep enclosure, small pond… everything is in place to live in harmony with nature.
A private water source (3,000–4,000 litres), functional fountain, and rainwater retention system reflect thoughtful natural resource management.
A traditional cellar, a majestic protected lime tree, a garden table for summer meals, a small barn, and a children's play area.
A constructible zone remains where the orangery and play area stand — an attractive opportunity for future development.
The bread oven shown on the plans has not yet been built, but remains a feasible option.
Although not farmers, the owners were able to acquire the agricultural land by completing a BDTA training. The process to access LDFR‑regulated land will be provided to future buyers.
This property is more than rooms and square metres: it represents a lifestyle rooted in nature, authenticity and independence. Whether you dream of a welcoming family home, a multi‑generation project, a self‑sufficient life or an inspiring retreat, this estate offers fertile ground for your aspirations.
