Saint-Jean-d'Arvey, Rhône 73230

This historic stronghold nestled in a green setting has endured through the centuries and is just waiting to be restored to continue its story. Overlooking the Chambry valley, with an unobstructed view, the family of Arvey was the first known owner of the property in the 12th and 13th centuries. Only 10 different families have owned this estate to date. Once past the gates of the castle, a shaded walkway under the plane trees will create suspense before you can discover the property. The 1.3-hectare park is laid out around a path that allows you to circulate around the building, servicing the residence, a 150m annex, the pond and swimming pool, as well as the numerous shaded outdoor spaces. Rich in history, this building requires a beautiful restoration to continue traversing the following centuries. Only inhabited on 2 levels, the attics and the tower have not been restored until now. This residence, among the oldest in the village, will not leave indifferent those who love enchanting places with historical notes. The main building currently houses 2 living spaces. The 150m annex, at the back of the estate, allows for vehicle parking and storage of equipment necessary for maintaining the park. On the ground floor, 250m are available, of which only 150m have been renovated into an independent apartment. Climbing the 31 steps to access the second floor, a landing greets a chapel, whose remains are still in place. The second floor consists of a larger 190m apartment, with an additional 60m space that has not been renovated. The attics on the 3rd and 4th levels would provide an additional area of over 300m. To date, the building is a co-ownership of 2 residential lots. It is not classified as a historical monument but is protected by the current PLUi, allowing only the restoration of the building, while the creation of new housing is possible within the existing structure. The park is in a non-constructible zone. A complete restoration should be considered. More details and information on request. This description has been automatically translated from French.
