A centuries-old priory in golden stone: Heritage elegance on the outskirts…
In the heart of the sought-after village of Limas, just minutes from Lyon and at the gateway to the Beaujolais region, this exceptional property transcends time with singular grace. Formerly part of the renowned Cluny Abbey, founded in the 13th century, this historic priory now offers nearly 850 square meters of living space amidst a wooded park, a verdant haven of centuries-old trees.
The golden stone facades, typical of the Beaujolais region, lend the estate a prestigious aura, where medieval history meets limitless possibilities for contemporary design. The estate is harmoniously arranged around two distinct buildings, each with its own unique character: The Historic Residence offers a journey through time, enhanced by majestic reception rooms, several elegant salons with authentic charm, eight exceptional bedrooms, and a superb gazebo overlooking the park. This independent professional space, built of golden stone and featuring vaulted cellars, is perfectly suited for offices, a head office, a gallery, a prestigious event venue, or any other ambitious project. Enjoy the charm of village life just steps away, a prime location in the heart of Limas, and shops and services within easy walking distance. This exceptional property offers all this. The limited space, the elegance of the golden stone, and the flexibility of the two buildings make this former priory a truly unique investment opportunity. Whether for an exceptional family home, a high-end guesthouse, or a distinctive headquarters, this property embodies the very essence of luxury real estate. Perfect connections: 3 minutes from Villefranche-sur-Saône train station (direct links to Lyon), 3 km from the A6 motorway, and in close proximity to the TGV train stations and Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport. Parking: 18 private parking spaces within the property.
