luxury farmhouse with pool for sale Rhône, France

A renovated farmhouse, outbuildings, garden and swimming pool in an unspoilt village in the Ain department, between Lyon and Geneva. The property is accessed via a locked gate. Visitors are immediately made to feel welcome when they enter the courtyard dominated by an ancient plane tree, the site's guardian. The renovated farmhouse dating back to 1874 and its outbuildings surround the tree. The swimming pool, built in the former barn, overlooks the courtyard and the flower-filled, wooded garden, at the far end of which is an orchard with a wide variety of fruit trees. A converted caravan has a wide range of uses. A double garage, equipped with an electric car charging point, converted outbuildings used as guest rooms, a summer kitchen and wooden terraces with summer lounges complete the property. A vast barn, which was once a stable, still needs to be converted. With three stories and its imposing facade, the house spans 280 m², added to which there are almost 180 m² of restored outbuildings. Like the other buildings, its facades are rendered stone, light and plain, with regular straight windows protected by white-painted wooden shutters. The shingled tile roof, topped with two terracotta finials and a chimney stump, has an eaves board, while the outbuildings have a gable roof with mechanical tiles and overhangs.
