A rare art of living, combining heritage, intimacy, and contemporary comfort
On the verdant hills of Marsens, where the gaze wanders between meadows and wooded horizons, an exceptional property unfolds, steeped in history and serenity.
In an intimate residential area, this large, entirely renovated farmhouse comprises four exceptional condominium units. Among them, this remarkable triplex reveals the authentic soul of the place while offering rare everyday comfort and functionality. Exceptionally for a property of this character, the space has been entirely designed for optimal practical use.
This property offers a true sense of independence – individual access, very limited vis-à-vis – while allowing for optimal management of the exteriors. You thus benefit from appreciable peace of mind: a caretaker looks after the majestic trees and the surroundings of the property, while remaining at your disposal to assist you with your own gardening projects, should you wish.
Occupying the entire former residential part of an authentic Fribourg farmhouse dating from 1789, this sumptuous triplex boasts 8.5 rooms with a living area of over 338 m², spread over three levels.
The building underwent a first careful renovation in 1980, followed by a complete restoration between 2014 and 2015, carried out with the utmost respect for its original character.
From the entrance, the tone is set: generous volumes, a warm atmosphere, and noble materials elegantly converse. Period wood panelling, exposed beams, a traditional stove… every detail tells a story and gives the place a unique soul, enhanced by quality contemporary amenities.
Layout of spaces:
On the ground floor:
- Large, fully equipped open kitchen, with adjoining pantry (integrated buffets, high-pressure steamer)

A magnificent vaulted cellar will delight epicureans and collectors of fine wines, offering ideal storage conditions. Direct access from the accommodation as well as from the outside.
The exteriors:
The private garden of 493 m², carefully planted and fully fenced, gently extends the living space. A true green setting, it invites relaxation, in the shade of a tree or on the terrace, facing the surrounding countryside.
A caretaker ensures the maintenance of the trees, hedges, and surroundings of the property.

Marsens: between gentle living and regional dynamism
Appreciated for its quality of life, the commune of Marsens offers a primary school, shops, restaurants, a pharmacy, and numerous walking paths starting from the village. Lake Gruyère, accessible on foot, is a major asset for outdoor leisure.
Only 10 minutes from Bulle, you benefit from all urban amenities: CFF train station, access to the A12 motorway, shops, educational and cultural infrastructures.
An exceptional triplex for a privileged art of living. Rare on the market, this property is aimed at lovers of places steeped in history, seeking a unique home combining authenticity, generous volumes, and contemporary amenities, in a preserved natural environment.
A place where life is good every day, both timeless and perfectly connected to activity centres.
We are happy to provide you with additional information and arrange a visit to this exceptional property.
