BIEDERTHAL, Alsace, Address available on request

The property will be sold in Swiss Francs (Chf 1,165,000). It includes a converted former farmhouse and separate barn, originally built in 1780 and constantly renovated over past decades, set in a large garden. Located off the main street in the French village of Biederthal, only 500m on either side to the Swiss villages of Rodersdorf and Burg (the Swiss borders). To the north, east and south Biederthal is surrounded by Swiss territory. 
The property is bordered by a small stream at the front and is overlooked by a forested area at the rear.
The area is noted for peaceful country living, farmland and forests, clean air and an ideal location for walks, bicycle riding and horse trails. There are two major equestrian facilities within 10 minutes drive. 
The city of Basel downtown is in close proximity (Distance 15km; 20 minutes drive, or 30 minutes by local Swiss tram) enabling easy access to the cultural, industrial and university elements of Basel and to the EuroAirport. 
The main house contains three bedrooms and a sleeping loft, kitchen with adjoining separate dining room, a large sitting room, two bathrooms and a guest toilet. A multi-functional room provides a utility area, pantry and office space. It connects to an attached veranda which provides rear access to the garden, covered carport parking and barn. 
Windows are double glazed and heating includes gas-fired radiators, electricity and wood stoves. Other features include satellite Tv, separate woodshed / implement shed, an external storage room and a small spring-fed well.
The barn provides a large upper storey bedroom and an office area as well as very substantial storage areas. The first floor area is currently open plan and utilised as a gallery and library together with a small balcony. The ground floor is presently used as a garage, workshop and storage area. The original stables are currently converted to provide another substantial storage area but can be easily re-converted as stabling for 2/3 horses if required. 
The large garden provides opportunity for the potential provision of a wide range of additional facilities and apart from numerous plants and shrubs, contains a variety of fruit and nut trees.
In summary the property provides a perfect combination for a variety of uses, benefits and opportunities so close to Basel: the main house on four levels (plus wine cellar) and a separate three storey converted barn for potential use as an art gallery, studio, retreat, workshop or business, as well as providing huge additional ground floor storage.
