Druillat House, 9 rooms, 237 m2

Nestled in the heart of a protected natural setting in the charming village of Druillat, this authentic Dombes-style farmhouse captivates with its rare charm and absolute tranquility, offering complete privacy. Just 4 minutes from Pont-d'Ain and the A42 motorway entrance, 47 minutes from the center of Lyon, and 19 minutes from Ambérieu-en-Bugey and its train station (connecting to Lyon-Part-Dieu in just 30 minutes), the property perfectly blends rural serenity with easy access. Built of rammed earth on a stone foundation and enhanced by exposed beams, this characterful home boasts generous interior spaces and a warm, historic atmosphere. The main living area, approximately 178 sq m, opens onto an entrance hall with an adjoining office space. It offers three bedrooms, including a suite with a shower room, a games room, a separate kitchen, a laundry room, a separate bathroom, and a living room with a fireplace--a true reception room where authenticity and conviviality reign. Adjoining it is an apartment with a separate entrance, currently operating as a gîte (holiday rental) of approximately 60 sqm, offering remarkable potential for a hospitality business or for hosting family and friends in complete independence. It comprises a kitchen opening onto a living room with a wood-burning stove, two bedrooms, a shower room, and a toilet. Outside, the property extends over a magnificent 1.8-hectare plot, a verdant haven ideal for nature lovers. The various spaces offer numerous possibilities for development thanks to the existing outbuildings. A large carport can accommodate several vehicles, a campervan, or specific equipment; a garage completes the ensemble, and a fully functional wood-fired oven recalls the authentic character of the place. The swimming pool, nestled amidst lush greenery, invites relaxation and is complemented by a covered terrace, perfect for extending summer days in an intimate and tranquil setting. This rare property combines architectural character, generous proportions, and an exceptional natural setting, offering a privileged lifestyle just minutes from major roads.
