Le Val-d'Ajol, Lorraine 88340

Some properties are distinguished by their architecture. Nestled in a preserved hamlet in the Hautes-Vosges, a few minutes from the Val-d'Ajol, this old rural residence bears in its stone more than four centuries of history. Its monolithic lintel in pink sandstone from the Vosges, dated 1622 and decorated with sculpted rosettes, testifies to its construction at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Built before the Thirty Years' War, it could be one of the oldest rural residences still preserved in this sector of the southern Vosges. The Leyval Residence now combines the charm of ancient heritage with the comfort of contemporary housing. It has approximately 260 m2 of living space divided into two dwellings, offering many possibilities: a large family home, a reception for several generations, a second home or a tourist accommodation project. The main accommodation of approximately 151 m2, benefiting in particular from geothermal heating, includes a beautiful living room, a kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom, a laundry room, a cellar and a garage. The second accommodation of approximately 99 m2 offers two bedrooms, a living room, a large kitchen, a bathroom and a superb vaulted cellar, a particularly interesting configuration to receive family and friends or to consider, subject to the necessary authorisations, a gîte or guest room activity. The complex is also distinguished by the importance of its outbuildings representing nearly 660 m2 of floor area, with barns, workshops, sheds, garages and more than 150 m2 of attics potentially convertible, subject to technical feasibility and administrative authorisations. The traditional framework fully contributes to the heritage character of this old Vosges farm. Located on an adjoining plot of approximately 6,000 m2, the property benefits from a quiet and preserved environment as well as a beautiful opening onto the Vosges countryside. A stone fountain and an authentic bread oven are still reminders of the history and rural vocation of the place. Its location makes it easy to reach the main regional and border centres : Mulhouse about 1 hour away, Basel in Switzerland about 1 hour 15 minutes and Freiburg im Breisgau in Germany about 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on the route and traffic conditions.
