Description
Au cœur du village prisé de Chazay-d'Azergues, ancienne ferme beaujolaise de caractère avec piscine de 14x3,5 m sur terrain clos et arboré de plus de 1 000 m². Cette maison de caractère développe 189 m² à vivre. La cuisine, véritable cœur de la maison, séduit avec son piano de cuisson et sa cheminée en pierre datée de 1812, témoin de l'histoire du lieu. La maison comprend 3 chambres, 2 salles d'eau, 2 toilettes, une buanderie et un bureau indépendant, idéal pour télétravail ou activité professionnelle (ou 4ème chambre). Une ancienne grange, aujourd'hui salle de jeux, peut avoir divers usages (y compris pour former avec le bureau un T2 de plain-pied). Deux caves complètent l'ensemble, dont une d'environ 30 m² peut être transformée en garage. À l'extérieur, le terrain accueille une piscine au sel de 3,5 × 14 m, rare en cœur de village. Commerces du Vieux Chazay à proximité, écoles accessibles à pied. Accès rapide à Civrieux-d'Azergues (grande surface, bowling...) et la gare de Marcilly-d'Azergues pour rejoindre Lyon en 20 minutes. Une maison authentique et pleine de caractère, idéale pour les amateurs de lieux de vie atypiques.

Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Chazay-d'Azergues
A picturesque hilltop village in the Beaujolais wine country, about 20 km north of Lyon. You get a medieval stone village with vineyard views at a fraction of Lyon prices, though you'll need a car and decent French — this is authentic small-town life in one of France's great wine regions.
Morning baguettes from the corner boulangerie, two-hour lunches with wine that no one apologizes for, and the slow realization that the French were right about everything involving food.

Next steps for moving to France
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
