Charming farmhouse with swimming pool

Nestled in the heart of the charming and peaceful village of Chazey-sur-Ain, just 40 minutes from the center of Lyon and 9 minutes from Meximieux and its train station (offering a 20-minute connection to the city), this renovated farmhouse offers approximately 250 sq m of living space and perfectly embodies the blend of authenticity and generous proportions.


From the moment you enter, the character of the building is evident, with a superb, carefully preserved period stone sink, a true signature feature. The entrance hall leads to a first bedroom on the ground floor, a shower room, and a toilet, providing immediate and practical comfort. Beyond this, a semi-open kitchen of approximately 25 sq m, fully fitted and equipped, benefits from direct access to the garden through a glass door, enhancing the connection with the outdoors. This kitchen opens onto a vast, light-filled living and dining area of 75 sq m, thanks to its dual aspect. The exposed stone walls and original beams enhance this impressively proportioned space, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere. A bay window seamlessly extends this space onto a covered terrace and the swimming pool, inviting you to fully enjoy sunny days. Upstairs, an elegant 33 sq m mezzanine offers numerous layout possibilities to suit your needs, whether as a library, TV lounge, playroom, or office. This level also includes five bedrooms, a bathroom, and a toilet, providing a sleeping area perfectly suited for family life. Outside, the property sits on a flat plot of 1,563 sq m. Here you will find a 9 x 4 meter heated reinforced PVC swimming pool, complete with an adjoining covered terrace and a pool house equipped with a shower and toilet. A beautiful, fully paved entrance courtyard provides parking for several vehicles and is complemented by a large covered area created from a former barn, offering significant additional potential.

Some refurbishment of part of the exterior facades is planned, providing an opportunity to further enhance this characterful building and transform it into an exceptional property. This rare property will appeal to those who appreciate period charm, spaciousness, and tranquility, while remaining close to amenities and major roads to Lyon.
