Exceptional Property

A rare art of living, between heritage and preserved nature
On the lush heights of Marsens, where the gaze wanders between meadows and wooded horizons, an exceptional property unfolds, imbued with history and serenity.
In an intimate residential neighborhood, this large fully rehabilitated farmhouse consists of four exceptional condominiums. Among them, this remarkable triplex reveals the authentic soul of the place while offering rare comfort and functionality for everyday life. An exceptional feature for a property of this character, the space has been entirely designed for optimal usability.
This property offers a true sense of independence — individual access, very limited visibility — while allowing for optimal management of the exteriors. You thus enjoy a pleasant peace of mind: a steward oversees the maintenance of the majestic trees and the surroundings of the property, while remaining at your disposal to assist you with your own gardening projects, if you wish.
Occupying the entire former living area of an authentic Fribourg farmhouse dating back to 1789, this sumptuous triplex features 8.5 rooms with a living area of over 338 m², spread over three levels.
The building underwent a first careful renovation in 1980, followed by a complete restoration between 2014 and 2015, carried out with the utmost respect for its original charm.
From the entrance, the tone is set: generous volumes, a warm atmosphere, and noble materials interact elegantly. Period woodwork, exposed beams, traditional stove… every detail tells a story and gives the place a unique soul, enhanced by quality contemporary features.
