Mas De La Fay

Some houses have a soul. This one has had one since 1753.

Le Mas de la Fay has stood in Larajasse for over two hundred seventy years, not far from the Château de La Fay, of which it was, legend says, one of the best-kept secrets. It is said that a hidden passage once connected the two buildings, allowing their inhabitants to move about unseen. If the stones could speak, they would keep the secret. The château is still there. And the mas has forgotten nothing.

As soon as you step inside, the house reveals its full generosity. The heart of the home is a 67-square-meter living room where exposed beams set the tone immediately. The fully equipped kitchen was designed in perfect harmony with the spirit of the house—its materials, volumes, and character. It naturally opens onto the dining room, the kind of space where meals last longer than expected and time seems to slip away. Added to this are a sitting area with a fireplace and a study or reading nook for those who appreciate having a place to relax and reflect.

This large living area opens to the south onto a sun-drenched terrace—ideal for outdoor meals, long aperitifs, and summer evenings. For rainy days, a large chappi welcomes you: this covered shelter, beloved in the Lyon region, lets you enjoy the outdoors year-round without giving up the pleasure of being outside. On the north side, the house opens onto the garden, where trees provide shade in just the right spots. This side also features the pool and a second terrace, from which the view of the surrounding countryside is simply breathtaking.

The ground floor houses three bedrooms and a bathroom—a layout that naturally allows for a large, independent, and private master suite on one level, with all the space and intimacy that entails. Upstairs, a different world unfolds, where two large 20-square-meter bedrooms, each with its own dressing room, share a beautiful bathroom—rare volumes and a true quality of life.

What the house offers beyond the living spaces may be what truly makes it unique. An attic, cellar, and workshop—nearly two hundred additional square meters, all in raw condition, waiting for a vision. An independent exterior entrance is possible, opening the door to a thousand projects: guest rooms, a fully autonomous gîte, a workshop, a professional space, or simply an extension of life reflecting those who will live here. Few houses offer so much freedom.

A remarkable energy rating of C for a building of this age—the mass of the stone walls naturally does its work, summer and winter. This mas is not just a beautiful house. It is a piece of history to live in.
