Property in Sonthonnax-la-Montagne

Set on a pleasant, bucolic Haut-Bugey plateau, this charming property traces its origins back to the 14th century. It was subsequently redesigned, particularly in the 1950s following a retaliatory fire at the end of the Second World War, which destroyed most of what had been a powerful local château.

We now have an elegant residence with 311 m² of living space over three levels, plus 95 m² of attic space available for conversion.

A beautiful vaulted cellar and vaulted garage are accessible on the garden level.

The former keep, with its typical feudal talus base, and a tower at the end of the terrace help us to imagine the proportions of the former château.

Several outbuildings, notably agricultural, complete the built-up area.

The castle is organized as follows:

– Elevated first floor: entrance leading to a dining room with terrace, a living room with access to a large south-west terrace, a bedroom with access to the same terrace, a study, a bathroom, a kitchen, a corridor, a pantry and a toilet with washbasin. There are also two bedrooms, each with a washbasin, and a laundry room.

– 1st floor: landing leading to three bedrooms, one with washbasin, toilet, bathroom/shower room and large attic space suitable for conversion.

– 2nd floor: landing serving two bedrooms and a shower room.

Outbuildings:

– immediately adjoining outbuildings: attractive south-facing stone building comprising two garages, a stable with direct access to the road, a lean-to and a wood shed. First floor: a large old hayloft.

– A rented house at the entrance to the property, 116 m²: kitchen, living room, toilet, shower room and storeroom; upstairs: three bedrooms. Heating by recent wood-burning stove. Pleasure garden.

– The farmhouse (mostly rented to a farmer): large stone barn and various other outbuildings, some of which are available, including an old dovecote.

– A house included in the perimeter of the farm, rented under a standard residential lease, with a surface area of 135 m². Large kitchen, living room, bathroom / wc. First floor: two bedrooms.

The 6.78-hectare plot includes 2.9 hectares of parkland and 3.8 hectares of leased land (pastures and farm buildings).

This beautiful residence is ideally located 1 h from Geneva, 1h15 from Lyon, 40 min from Bourg-en-Bresse. Easy access to the A404 and A40 motorways. TER and TGV train stations 8 minutes away!
