Architect-designed
timber villa
“Between lake and forest,
an exceptional address.”
A breathtaking view
over Lake Neuchâtel, a plot with no overlooking neighbours.
Set on the heights of Châbles, in the sought-after Rafor residential area, this architect-designed villa enjoys a rare setting: an unobstructed, permanent lake view, a protected centuries-old forest directly adjoining the plot, and absolute peace guaranteed by the legal setbacks registered in the land registry.
Built in 2014 by the ELEMENT 9 studio (Crissier), the glulam timber structure combines thermal performance, quality materials and natural charm. Spread over three distinct levels, the villa includes a rented income-generating flat — a source of income from the day you receive the keys.
Over 2,750 m² of land: garden, orchard, vegetable patch, terraces and pergola — while preserving future development potential. A rare, stable and profitable property in a setting that simply cannot be replicated.
The figures, speaking for themselves.
A visual reading of the property.
A lake view, protected by the land registry.
The pergola extends the living room towards Lake Neuchâtel and the Jura. The legal setbacks registered in the land registry protect the view permanently — a rare asset that is simply not negotiable.
A large plot, with no overlooking neighbours.
2,750 m² of land: ornamental garden, orchard, raised vegetable patch, play areas. The century-old forest below guarantees an unspoilt setting and absolute tranquillity.
Timber that ages gracefully.
Glulam timber cladding by ELEMENT 9 — class B thermal performance, a noble material that weathers beautifully without losing its character.
A rented flat, income from day one.
The lower ground floor, 57 m² with two bedrooms and a private 20 m² terrace, is let to two joint tenants (lease currently in place, indefinite term). Fully independent entrance — cohabitation is completely unnoticeable.

Between lake, forest and the Fribourg plateau.
Châbles is part of the merged municipality of Cheyres-Châbles, in the Broye district of the canton of Fribourg. The village lies between the shores of Lake Neuchâtel and the first foothills of the plateau, in an unspoilt, sparsely built-up setting.
Schools, shops and the medical centre are within walking distance or a few minutes' drive. The A1 motorway is 7 minutes away — Lausanne, Fribourg and Neuchâtel are all less than 45 minutes away.
