Exceptional accommodation with a panoramic terrace and separate living quarters. This magnificent 1954 Freycinet barge offers a unique experience: a lifestyle focused on nature, light, and space, without sacrificing the convenience of city living. Moored in the sought-after Confluence district, a 3-minute walk from the shopping and dining hub and the cinema, it enjoys an exceptional location: central yet secluded, completely sheltered from potential disturbances, and facing the water garden. The 50 m² living area impresses with its brightness, spaciousness, and warm atmosphere. Settle in here to enjoy the magic of the Saône River and the tranquility of the surroundings. You will also find 3 bedrooms with a total of 10 beds (excluding the skipper's cabin), a shower room, and a bathroom. A comfortable and flexible layout, as well as a magnificent 60 m² covered terrace overlooking nature. The former skipper's cabin is now a separate 35 m² apartment, currently rented out. It can be retained to generate rental income, easily incorporated into the main residence, or used to accommodate a blended family, for example.
