The countryside as far as the eye can see
Between the Jorat and the Lavaux, halfway between town and country, Forel is a particularly sought-after commune nestled in a green setting. It benefits from a privileged living environment offering magnificent views of the Freiburg Pre-Alps, the Valais and Savoy Alps, and Lake Bret.
Facing a countryside stretching as far as the eye can see, this semi-detached house, spread over four levels, seduces with its strong potential for renovation. Comfortable and functional, it will perfectly suit a family, while also offering an ideal opportunity for an entrepreneur thanks to its vast workshop located in the basement, currently equipped as a carpentry workshop and can be adapted to many professional activities.
The basement also includes a laundry room with a technical room and a garage. The upper ground floor opens onto a welcoming entrance hall, a guest toilet, and a fully equipped kitchen open to a spacious living room with a fireplace. This bright living space naturally extends to a pleasant outdoor terrace, ideal for enjoying the calm and unobstructed view.
On the floor, the house has an office, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a pellet stove providing a warm atmosphere and additional comfort. The attic finally offers a multipurpose room that can be arranged according to needs in an additional bedroom, office, or leisure space.
This property combines the charm of an exceptional rural environment, generous volumes, and interesting renovation potential, making it a rare opportunity for those seeking a living space that combines comfort, nature, and evolution possibilities.
