Individual farm in the heart of a preserved nature
Between Cottens and Autigny, where the gaze escapes between green meadows and wooded horizons, a property reveals itself, imbued with serenity and authenticity.
Nestled in a dominant position on the outskirts of the charming village of Cottens, in the canton of Fribourg, this old farm benefits from a particularly calm environment and easy access throughout the year. Surrounded by vast agricultural areas, it offers a rare living space where nature and tranquility reign supreme. From the terrace, the panoramic view opens onto the surrounding landscapes and the Pre-Alps, offering a living spectacle throughout the seasons.
Both elegant and functional, this property constitutes an ideal opportunity for a buyer seeking a high-quality property in Switzerland, combining quality of life, comfort, and potential.
Just a few minutes' walk away, the village center offers all the necessary amenities: shops, bakery, grocery store, restaurant, bank with ATM, post office, as well as an artisanal cheese factory. The church and the train station complete this practical and pleasant living space. The rail network allows easy access to the main Swiss cities, making travel particularly easy. A medical office and a gas station are also present in the village, while the highway access and shopping centers are only 6 km away.
This privileged location harmoniously combines sunny exposure, preserved nature, and accessibility.
The property consists of two separate dwellings, offering great flexibility in use.
The first dwelling, approximately 154 m², is partially renovated and seduces with its generous volumes and high potential for renovation. A part is currently rented, constituting an interesting financial asset and an immediate return.
The second dwelling, entirely renovated in 2004, develops approximately 132 m² and offers a warm and comfortable living space, ready to welcome its future occupants without renovation work.
In total, the farm has a living area of approximately 370 m² and a volume of 3'007 m³. It has 8 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, allowing for both a large family residence and a mixed project combining living and rental income to be considered.
As soon as you enter the house, the charm operates immediately. The volumes, natural light, and warm atmosphere highlight this property. Period woodwork, exposed beams, and traditional elements give the whole a unique soul, typical of character buildings.
This rare property seduces with the diversity of projects it allows: main residence, intergenerational living, or high-quality investment.
