The character of an old farm, the comfort of two contemporary villas

In the heart of the Forel (Lavaux) countryside, on the edge of an agricultural area and close to the forest, we present a project that combines rural charm, generous spaces, and modern comfort: the transformation of an old farm into two semi-detached villas with terraces and private gardens.

The unobstructed views of the fields and the presence of nature create a peaceful living environment, just a few minutes from the main communication axes. An address to enjoy the sweetness of the countryside while maintaining a pleasant proximity to Lausanne, Vevey, and the lake.

Each villa will have 147 m² of living space and 195 m² of useful space, spread over three levels. The complete renovation will give new life to this building while preserving its village expression. The future owners will be able to personalize the kitchens, sanitary facilities, and coatings within the framework of the planned budgets, to shape an interior in their image.

Spaces designed for everyday life

On the ground floor, the open kitchen on the dining room side will offer a convivial space of 28.5 m², extended by a terrace of 20 m² and the private garden. This direct connection with the outside will allow you to fully enjoy the beautiful days, between family meals and moments of relaxation facing the countryside.

A guest toilet, a cellar of 12.9 m², a bicycle room of 9.3 m², and a technical room will complete this level.

On the first floor, the living room of 28.6 m² will constitute a comfortable space to meet. Two bedrooms of 13 m² each, a shower room, and a separate toilet will complete the distribution.

The attic will include two large available spaces of 20 and 25 m², offering additional valuable volumes.

A heat pump with underfloor heating will ensure the thermal comfort of the two villas.

Gardens open to the countryside

Each villa will benefit from a generous private garden: 438 m² for Villa A and 489 m² for Villa B. Associated with the terraces, these spaces will invite you to garden, receive, or simply savor the calm of the place. Parking spaces will complete the outdoor facilities.

The two villas

Villa A: 6 rooms / 147 m² living space / 195 m² useful space / Land 630 m² / Terrace 20 m² / Cellar 12.9 m² / CHF 1'375'000.-

Villa B: 6 rooms / 147 m² living space / 195 m² useful space / Land 693 m² / Terrace 20 m² / Cellar 12.9 m² / CHF 1'395'000.-

A privileged geographical location

This rural setting offers appreciable accessibility. By car, it takes approximately:

7 minutes to reach the highway
10 minutes to reach the lake
15 minutes to reach Vevey
20 minutes to reach Lausanne

Forel - A village life between Jorat and Lavaux

Between meadows, forests, and agricultural landscapes, Forel (Lavaux) offers a green environment at the gates of the Lausanne agglomeration and the Riviera. The municipality preserves a pronounced rural identity, with a village center at the Cornes de Cerf, which includes the school, administration, and several meeting places.

For families, the attachment to the Jorat primary and secondary school, school transport, and the structures for childcare and out-of-school care of the APERO network represent concrete advantages. The Savigny-Forel library and the Passeport Vacances Oron-Jorat enrich the possibilities for children's activities.

The shops, artisans, and numerous local societies contribute to a convivial community life. Sports, music, and events punctuate the seasons and offer numerous opportunities to forge links. Forel thus combines the advantages of a municipality of human size and the proximity of the services of the neighboring towns.

A region with a remarkable setting

Nearby, the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reveal their landscapes facing Lake Geneva and the Alps. Walks through the vineyards, characteristic villages, and discoveries of local specialties prolong the pleasures of the countryside. An environment where nature and heritage occupy a privileged place in everyday life.

We are at your disposal to present this project to you, transmit the detailed plans, and accompany you in the choice of your future villa.
