House with terrace Saint-Jean-de-la-Porte (73)
This former winemaker's Sarto, built with local stone, is located in the heart of the authentic hamlet of Les Grangettes, in the commune of Saint-Jean-de-la-Porte. Dating back to the 1820s, it was converted into a 95 m² home some years ago while preserving its authenticity and unique charm. This independent property, free from adjoining neighbors, borders a popular walking path that winds through picturesque alleys filled with the soothing sound of water from stone basins and runs through organic vineyards. A public parking area just steps away provides convenient vehicle access, limiting traffic in the alleys and offering peace and tranquility. A typical stone staircase leads half a level up to the main entrance. This opens onto a kitchen that blends seamlessly with the living area, enhanced by a period fireplace housing a pellet stove. A large opening provides access to a bright, spacious living room with original wooden floors and honey-colored pine ceilings, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere. Two French doors lead to a 20 m² larch-wood terrace on stilts, offering an unobstructed view of the surrounding mountain ranges above the rooftops. This outdoor space becomes an additional living area during the warmer months. A wooden staircase leads to the upper floor, entirely under a mansard roof with a hand-hewn timber frame, forming the sleeping area. The first bedroom, bright and airy, is designed under the eaves with ample usable space and cleverly integrated storage. The second large bedroom occupies the entire volume offered by the timber frame, radiating warmth and illuminated by a skylight and a French door that opens to stunning views of the mountains and the valley. A bathroom completes this level. The lower ground floor consists of a utility room/bathroom, a workshop with direct street access, and a large, healthy vaulted cellar, once used by Bauju winemakers to store their precious vintages. Shops and schools are just a 5-minute drive or bike ride away, with the motorway and SNCF train station also reachable in 5 minutes. In summary, this Sarto is a testament to the region's winemaking heritage, with its climbing vine adorning the stone façade, authentic studded cellar doors, and architecture unique to winemakers' cabins. It offers a true village lifestyle while preserving the privacy of its residents.
