A rare lifestyle, combining heritage, intimacy, and contemporary comfort
On the verdant heights 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, fully 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 optimal management of the exteriors. You thus enjoy appreciable peace of mind: a caretaker ensures the maintenance of the majestic trees and the property's surroundings, while remaining available to assist you with your own gardening projects, should you wish.
Occupying the entirety of the 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 converge. Period woodwork, exposed beams, a traditional stove... every detail tells a story and imbues the place with a singular 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 with trees 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 the property's surroundings.

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 recreation.
Only 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 lifestyle. Rare on the market, this property is for 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 it is good to live daily, both timeless and perfectly connected to activity centers.
We are happy to provide you with additional information and organize a visit to this exceptional property.
