House, St Genest Lerpt

Saint-Genest-Lerpt – 360 m² – 7 bedrooms – Swimming pool

Everything begins with an almost secret driveway. Lined with ancient trees whose branches meet to form a natural arch, it guides the eye and invites discovery. Along the path, the outline of the property gradually appears: first its brown tile roof with orange highlights, then its dormer windows with pediments, and finally its long stone facade.

Located in a sought-after area of Saint-Genest-Lerpt, this characterful house offers approximately 360 m² of living space at the heart of an 8,000 m² wooded park. Its elevated position provides a particularly open environment, surrounded by tall trees, preserved vegetation, and wide views of the surrounding landscape.

The architecture showcases a classic and timeless style: exposed stone, steeply pitched roof, white shutters, and numerous openings onto the garden. Inside, light and spaciousness are everywhere.

The main level features a large reception room of over 50 m², extensively open to the outside and centered around a beautiful stone fireplace. The separate kitchen of about 25 m² extends into a cozy area for everyday meals.

A ground-floor master suite of more than 35 m² has direct access to the garden and pool. It includes its own bathroom with bathtub and shower, as well as storage. A laundry room, a room that can be used as an office or dressing room, and two toilets complete this level.

Upstairs, six additional bedrooms are arranged around two remarkable rooms of about 40 m² each, enhanced by exposed beams and high ceilings. These spaces can serve as a playroom, family lounge, home cinema, or extra bedrooms, offering great flexibility. A bathroom, a shower room, and toilets complete the floor.

The property thus offers seven bedrooms in total, an ideal layout for a large family or a secondary residence designed for hosting.

The full basement includes a garage that can accommodate up to four vehicles, a wine cellar, and several storage areas.

Outside, the secured 10 × 4 meter swimming pool blends naturally into the park. It is accompanied by an independent stone pool house with a cooking area, shower, and storage, creating a true living space to enjoy the sunny days. A pétanque court completes the amenities.

Some refreshing work will fully reveal the potential of this property and offer a more contemporary interpretation while preserving its character.

A planning certificate has also been obtained for the detachment of a buildable plot of about 1,400 to 1,500 m². Located downhill and served by an independent access, this division would preserve the driveway, views, and privacy of the main house while offering a real opportunity for added value.

A rare family property, combining the charm of stone, generous volumes, and the serenity of a vast green setting.
