Set on a peaceful and bucolic plateau in the Haut-Bugey region, this elegant historic property traces its origins to the 14th century. Once a powerful local château, it was rebuilt and redesigned after a fire at the end of the Second World War, giving rise to the graceful residence that stands today — a place where history, nature, and authenticity meet in perfect harmony.

The property offers 311 m² of living space spread across three levels, with an additional 95 m² of attic space ready for conversion. Beneath the house, a beautiful vaulted cellar and vaulted garage enhance its character and utility.

Architectural remnants of the medieval château remain — including the former keep with its typical feudal talus base, and a tower at the end of the terrace — giving a striking reminder of the estate’s ancient heritage.
