luxury listed house for sale Rouffach, France

Located 10 minutes from Colmar and Guebwiller and close to the surrounding vineyards, this former 13th-century synagogue, listed as a Historic Monument since 1921, offers 327 m² of living space on a 749 m² plot. Carefully renovated by an architect over the last 40 years, this remarkable property combines old-world charm with modern amenities. It benefits from two gardens, a barn offering private parking, and rare volumes, in an environment steeped in history in the immediate vicinity of the village's iconic monuments. The entrance is through an imposing wooden door opening onto a first garden. The ground floor houses a large hallway that could be used as a workshop, a cellar, and a large room that probably hosted women's prayers in the 13th century. The first floor reveals generously proportioned living spaces. An office area and a shower room precede a double living room imbued with authenticity, punctuated by exposed beams and solid wood flooring. The custom-made kitchen, crafted by a local carpenter, is equipped with high-end appliances from Gaggenau. On the upper floor, a master suite of approximately 45 m² with a bathroom shares space with two other bedrooms. An attic on the same level can be converted into an additional room as needed, while the loft remains usable for even more space. From the entrance of the main building, another door leads to an office of over 80 m² tastefully renovated by the owner. Outside, two gardens offer peaceful and pleasant spaces. A barn provides parking for several vehicles, with direct access to one of the village's main streets. The property enjoys a privileged location, close to shops, schools and services. Although some refurbishment work is required, this rare property, a unique witness to France's medieval Jewish heritage, is appealing for its history, its distinctive architecture and its potential for conversion. An unusual property at the crossroads of memory and elegance.
