A Heritage of Five Centuries in the Heart of Savoie

Nestled in the heart of a preserved natural environment, among green meadows, vineyards, orchards and forests, this remarkable 16th-century fortified house embodies all the authenticity and charm of Savoyard heritage. Witness to several centuries of history, the property stands out for its unique architecture, its three historic towers and its many original elements, carefully preserved over time. It also has a particular cultural significance; a renowned theater man was born there, and the landscapes of his childhood are said to have deeply nourished his imagination and inspired his vocation. An attachment to these places that several of his students would testify to many years later. As soon as you pass through the gate, the property gradually reveals its character. An inner courtyard serves the former farm buildings, while an arcade reveals the silhouette of the fortified house and its towers. Beyond a second gate, a vast grassy esplanade opens up to a remarkable panorama, embracing the pastures, vineyards, and fruit trees, up to the distant reliefs. The wooded areas bordering the estate extend this impression of tranquility and intimacy, in a rustic setting of rare authenticity. The fortified house retains many testimonies of its lordly past, a majestic stone spiral staircase, an ancient vault, wrought iron works and arrow slits recalling its original defensive purpose. The currently habitable part develops approximately 150 m² spread over two levels.
The garden level hosts a dining room, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom. Upstairs, five bedrooms make up the sleeping area. A second part of around 300 m², divided into eight rooms, offers particularly interesting rehabilitation potential. Fully to be renovated, it suggests numerous layout possibilities, whether to create generous reception spaces, new living rooms, or to develop a residential project respectful of the historical identity of the residence. The roofs of the house and towers, including frames, have been recently redone, except for the roof of the currently inhabited lodge, which remains in good condition. Around the fortified house, several outbuildings enrich the patrimonial character of the whole. An old bread oven, a forge and a small traditional stable recall the agricultural vocation of the estate and the activities that once animated the property. A cellar, notably once used for tasting the wines produced on site, as well as three ancient wells, complete this historically imbued ensemble. These buildings and their surrounding spaces offer promising prospects for restoration and enhancement, respecting their architecture and any patrimonial constraints. Through its character, volumes and the richness of its environment, this property appeals to lovers of old stones eager to preserve and revive a rare heritage. It could host an elegant family residence or a more ambitious heritage rehabilitation project. Its location at the heart of preserved countryside, while remaining accessible from the main regional economic centers, gives it a particularly attractive balance between tranquility, authenticity and proximity.
Far more than a historic home, this fortified house is a place of memory and transmission where Renaissance architecture, rural traditions and cultural history meet in a natural environment of great beauty. A unique property, intended for those seeking much more than a house, a place full of soul, history and promises, the next chapter of which remains to be written.
