An exceptional two-unit property with panoramic views!
Located on the hills above the Orbe Valley, in the village of Rances, this rare property enjoys a preserved natural setting and optimal sunlight. Set on a 1,056 m² lot with no neighbors directly across the way, it offers approximately 350 m² of living space and consists of two separate dwellings, which can easily be combined to suit your needs: a family home, accommodation for relatives, or a business space.
Fully renovated, the house is move-in ready, with no work required. The generous floor plans and large windows flood the living spaces with light from nature.
The first residence, with approximately 280 m² of living space, forms the heart of the main house, featuring a magnificent open-concept living room spanning over 100 m² and ceiling heights of over 4 meters, an imposing fireplace and direct access to the garden and terrace. The Dada (Molteni) kitchen, equipped with Gaggenau appliances, blends seamlessly into this elegant and inviting space.
