Limonest, 4 Bedrooms - 436 m² Property for sale

EXCLUSIVE - Limonest - In a quiet, unspoilt setting, this magnificent stone property dating from the 14th century was redesigned in the early 20th century in a style inspired by the Italian Renaissance, in particular by creating openings that add elegance and light.
The 7,660 sqm of wooded parkland includes a large section planted with espaliers, evoking Tuscany through its layout and choice of species.

These delicate changes were the work of the architect Cateland, a friend of the owner at the time, the writer Félix de Chazournes (winner of the Prix Femina in 1936), who saw the potential of the estate and commissioned its embellishment.

The building is laid out in a U-shape around a central courtyard. On the garden level you will find a large entrance hall, a kitchen, a dining room with access to the east-facing terrace, a large lounge with access to and views over the parklands. A large study overlooking the courtyard completes this level.

Upstairs there is a lounge/library, 3 bedrooms, one of which has a shower room, and a large master suite with a bathroom. A large space remains to be converted for further bedrooms.

A tower with its spiral staircase leads to numerous rooms that could be converted. It offers exceptional views as far as the Fourvière basilica.

A barn with a beautiful roof structure and access to the cellars, a garden room, an awning, a bread oven and a stone pond complete this exceptional property.
Its unique architecture, grounds and views make it a rare property for sale.
