Former school reinvented as a spacious family home

Overlooking the Viennese countryside, the majestic building proudly displays the date 1873 on its pebble-clad facade. Its 1600sqm enclosed and landscaped garden makes it an ideal family haven, both historic and comfortable, nestled between nature and village life.

Here, modern comforts have in no way diminished the palpable charm of history: from the ground-floor entrance, one discovers the immense living room with its 2.90m high ceilings.

Separated by an authentic wrought-iron glass partition, on one side is a superb, fully equipped 38sqm Schmidt kitchen, and on the other, a large living room complemented by an office that can also serve as a guest room thanks to its shower room and WC. The beautiful wooden staircase leads to a star-shaped layout where even the landing can serve as an office space. Behind their period wooden doors with brass handles, you'll discover four large, light-filled bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms and one with a bathroom and separate WC. On the top floor, a large open space with a spectacular timber frame offers 45 square meters of additional living space, perfect for a recreation area, extra sleeping space, a TV corner, and more. The same area could be further developed on this floor.

The house also holds other delightful surprises, such as a large, temperature-controlled cellar, a laundry room, and a veranda. Outside, beyond the automated wooden gate, a large terraced garden unfolds, featuring two terraces, fruit trees, and an unobstructed view of the surrounding farmland. A spacious wooden shelter serves as a double parking area and summer kitchen. The village school (the current one!) and shops are just a few minutes' walk away. Vienne and its renowned schools are 5 km away, and Lyon is a 20-minute drive. A true testament to the village's history, this unique property can be viewed by appointment.
