Located in the Ain département, just a few kilometres from Villefranche-sur-Saône and 35 minutes from the centre of Lyon, this character property enjoys a privileged position — within easy reach of major transport links and amenities, yet set in a peaceful, timeless setting.
The tone is set from the moment of arrival: a majestic 400-metre avenue lined with Lombardy poplars gradually reveals a largely walled park of 6.3 hectares, leading to an imposing manor house built in dressed stone and traditional brick. The property offers 690 sq.m. of living space arranged over two floors, further complemented by a vast attic.
The ground floor presents a succession of generous reception rooms — drawing rooms, a library, dining room, kitchen and scullery — anchored by a spectacular entrance hall featuring a carved wooden staircase, period panelling and a stained-glass window.
The principal floor comprises seven spacious bedrooms served by four bathrooms and a shower room. The upper level, more intimate in character, retains the spirit of the house with former servants' quarters, an old linen room and generous attic volumes.
Throughout, the noble architectural features have been carefully preserved: herringbone and Hungarian-point parquet floors, period fireplaces, boiseries, encaustic cement tiles and stained glass.
The outbuildings complete this exceptional ensemble harmoniously: a chapel blessed in 1641 — a precious witness to the property's history — an ancient tower, likely the remains of a former fortification, and a 38 sq.m. garage. Tennis court.
A rare find, where history and elegance converge — equally suited as a prestigious primary residence or country retreat, set in unspoilt surroundings on the doorstep of the Lyon metropolitan area.
