A rare art of living, between heritage and preserved nature
On the green heights of Marsens, where the gaze wanders between meadows and wooded horizons, an exceptional property is revealed, imbued with history and serenity.
In an intimate residential area, this large, completely renovated farmhouse consists of four exceptional PPE apartments. Among them, this remarkable triplex reveals the authentic soul of the place while offering rare comfort and functionality for everyday life. Exceptionally for a property of this character, the space has been entirely designed for optimal practicality of use.
This property offers a real impression of independence – individual access, very limited vis-à-vis – while allowing optimal management of the exteriors. You thus enjoy appreciable freedom of mind: a caretaker ensures the maintenance of the majestic trees and the surroundings of the property, while remaining at your disposal to assist you in your own gardening projects, if you wish.
Occupying the entire former residential part of an authentic Fribourg farmhouse dating from 1789, this sumptuous triplex has 8.5 rooms for a living area of over 338 m², spread over three levels.
The building benefited from a first careful renovation in 1980, then a complete restoration between 2014 and 2015, carried out with the greatest respect for its original character.
From the entrance, the tone is set: generous volumes, a warm atmosphere, and noble materials elegantly interact. Period wood panelling, exposed beams, traditional stove... each detail tells a story and gives the place a unique soul, sublimated 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 grand crus, 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 with trees and entirely 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 the surroundings of the property.

- Polished concrete floors in the kitchen and dining room, a successful blend of modernity and authenticity
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 activities.
Just 10 minutes from Bulle, you benefit from all urban amenities: CFF train station, access to the A12 motorway, shops, school, 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 organize a visit to this exceptional property.
