Welcome
At the western entrance of the hamlet of La Montagne de Cernier, about 700 meters from the canton road of Vue-des-Alpes and 7 kilometers from Cernier, a former 19th century farmhouse stands back from the road, in a quiet location. The main façade is oriented south-east, which provides good sunlight and a view over the pastures. The setting is that of the Jura crests, far from urban centers but 10 kilometers from La Chaux-de-Fonds and 11 kilometers from Neuchâtel.
The construction is massive: masonry in rubble stone with corner quoins in natural stone, a double-pitched roof in tiles supported by a wooden frame, gables clad in vertical slats, wooden windows and shutters. The central wood-fired heating system, supplemented by a sanitary water heater and solar panels installed on the west side of the roof, is a coherent installation for a building of this type, off the public grid. Drinking water is supplied by two external tanks fed by the roof, and distributed by a pressure pump. Major maintenance, updating and compliance work is to be carried out. Let’s take a look
... The property is accessed from the road to La Montagne de Cernier. It covers a plot of about 1,215 m², with a vegetable garden, various plantations and a chicken coop.
The two apartments
The building houses two apartments with a heterogeneous layout, the result of a long history and successive uses
. The current level of comfort is low: the rooms are typical of their time, and the circulation routes need to be redesigned. This is where the renovation work makes the most sense: to free the buyer from any inherited constraints and offer the possibility of designing the spaces they really want to
live in, within the framework of a massive and permanent envelope. The barn and the granary Adjacent to the dwelling, the rural volume ? comprising the barn and the granary ? offers considerable potential for transformation, within the limits of the permitted uses. Although the building is no longer part of the LDFR, it is still protected. At this stage, a study on the new use of the entire interior volume would be the natural starting point for a project. Exterior The garden, with its vegetable patch, established plantings and chicken coop, is already structured and lively. The south-east exposure ensures a beautiful light on the main façade. Overview of the work to be considered The building is equipped with a central wood-burning heating system with radiator distribution. The old boiler is coupled to a hot water tank for sanitary use and to solar panels installed on the west roof. The latter requires renovation work. The thermal insulation no longer meets current standards and the building has not been renovated recently. A general review of the reuse and optimization of the interior volumes would be relevant. This freedom of layout is one of the major advantages of this property, offering a rare opportunity to rethink a space with a strong architectural character according to one’s own vision. The water supply is provided by three external tanks. However, all the installations will have to be overhauled and restored. The property also has a septic tank that has not yet been brought into line with current requirements, and adaptation work is to be carried out in the medium term. As regards radon, a detailed technical report has been drawn up and is available to interested parties. It presents the measurements taken in the building and the various possible remediation options to meet current requirements. The steps to be taken are now clearly identified, allowing a future buyer to have a clear view of the situation and the possible improvements. According to the CANEPO and SITN extracts, there are no polluted sites or particular natural hazards.
