House for sale, Lignières (Lignières, Switzerland)

In the heart of the charming village of Lignières, an exceptional property is revealed, as rare in its history as in its services. A true witness to the local heritage, this remarkable building has survived the ages by reinventing itself successively as a church, then a municipal school, before being transformed into an elegant private residence. Behind its magnificent façade in warm colours hides today a unique living space, where the charm of the old is expressed through every detail and where the history of the building continues to be felt in its generous volumes and its singular atmosphere.

Over the years, the owners have paid constant attention to the maintenance and evolution of the property. Improvements and modernisations have been carried out gradually with the constant concern of preserving the identity of the place while providing it with the comfort expected of a contemporary residence. This respectful approach has made it possible to preserve the authenticity and exceptional character of the building while guaranteeing an excellent level of maintenance. Today, the property is in remarkable condition, testifying to the care taken in its conservation over time.

The main entrance to the house is via an independent access located on the main façade. From the very first steps, the volumes, the luminosity and the noble materials immediately seduce. The natural stone walls, the exposed beams and the many openings create a warm and refined atmosphere. The ground floor hosts a large living space where the living room, kitchen and dining area are harmoniously combined. The real heart of the house, the kitchen offers beautiful volumes and is organized around a superb fireplace which gives the whole a unique and convivial character. Designed for everyday life as well as for receptions, this space benefits from a fluid circulation and a pleasant opening to the outside.

Spread over several levels, the residential part offers four bedrooms of comfortable dimensions. The first floor hosts two bedrooms, a shower room equipped with a double sink, a separate toilet and a laundry area. The second floor offers a more intimate atmosphere with an additional bedroom, an elegant master bedroom with its dressing room, a bathroom with bath, shower and toilet, as well as a large living room. This particularly warm space benefits from a second fireplace and a perfectly integrated home cinema area, creating a privileged place for moments of relaxation with family or friends.

Under the roof, a mezzanine completes the set. The magnificent exposed structure, carefully enhanced, elegantly recalls the history of the building and fully contributes to its unique character.

One of the most interesting features of this property is the presence of independent professional spaces. Accessible by a separate entrance located in the centre of the façade, a commercial part develops on two levels. It currently includes storage areas and an office and offers numerous operating possibilities for self-employed, artisanal, administrative or liberal activity. A second independent room, now used as a warehouse, already has all the necessary sanitary connections. Formerly used as a toilet for the gym when the building was used as a municipal school, this space could easily be refurbished according to the future needs of its owner.

The basement harmoniously completes the set with a large technical room that also serves as a workshop, as well as a charming semi-underground wine cellar, offering particularly appreciable functional and storage spaces.

Outside, the property continues its promise of exclusivity. A beautiful wooden terrace naturally extends the living spaces and invites you to take full advantage of the sunny days. A pleasant outdoor dining area, a jacuzzi and a carefully maintained garden create a setting conducive to relaxation and conviviality. The whole enjoys a beautiful privacy while maintaining a privileged location in the heart of the village.

A closed garage and six outdoor parking spaces complete the services of the property. In addition, there is a plot of land on the west façade of the building with particularly interesting potential. This space would allow the creation of a large additional garage or an outbuilding, subject to the usual authorisations.

Rarely has a property managed to combine history, architectural cachet, generous volumes and versatility of use with such elegance. Carefully maintained and enhanced over the years, this unique residence now offers the exceptional opportunity to acquire an emblematic place of the heritage of Lignières, where the authenticity of the place blends harmoniously with contemporary comfort. A rare address intended for a clientele sensitive to properties of character and looking for a truly extraordinary living environment.
