Located on the heights of Bugey, between Lyon and Geneva, overlooking the valley and built on the ruins of an 11th-century castle, this property is a unique gem. Situated on a rocky spur that dominates the village and the Rhône valley, the strategic location of the property allowed for control and protection of the surrounding area during medieval times, with several fortresses being established in the vicinity. The main castle, known as "Le grand Château," was constructed in the 11th century and later linked to the Dauphiné and Savoy regions before being destroyed by French troops in 1595. The remaining walls of the quadrilateral structure can still be seen today. A steep and shaded path leads to the property, with a wooden gate opening onto an alley that leads to the house and its tower at the southern end of the land. The tower, originally a watchtower of the fortress, has been renovated and expanded with a one-story stone extension from the 1960s. Topped with a single-sloped slate roof and surrounded by luscious greenery, the tower boasts large windows that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. The property also features a wooded park that covers an area of approximately 8,500 square meters, offering panoramic views of the valley. Remnants of the castle can still be seen scattered throughout the park, adding to the historical charm of the estate. Considering the unique history, stunning location, and the presence of the historic castle ruins, the asking price of 480,000 seems justified for a property with such character and potential.
