Description
ÉCULLY CENTRE – À deux pas des commerces et des écoles, au sein d'une propriété au cachet architectural rare, cet appartement de prestige en rez-de-jardin offre les volumes et le charme d'une maison.
Déployé de plain-pied sur 306.25 m² carrez, il s'articule autour d'une entrée majestueuse ouvrant en enfilade sur un vaste salon. Les sols en terrazzo et parquet d'Aremberg, remarquablement conservés, soulignent le caractère unique du lieu.
Le salon se prolonge sur un perron dominant un parc arboré d'essences centenaires, dont une partie privative, véritable écrin de verdure en plein centre d'Écully.
Quatre chambres spacieuses, une cuisine indépendante et sa salle à manger attenante, ainsi qu'une véranda baignée de lumière composent un espace de vie élégant et modulable.
Un ensemble de caves sont directement accessibles de l'appartement permettant la conservation de vins pour les amateurs.
Nécessitant une rénovation, cet appartement offre un potentiel pour ce bien unique.
Un garage et des stationnements possibles pour plusieurs voitures complètent l'ensemble.
Un lieu rare réunissant emplacement d'exception, volumes, cachet et sérénité au cœur de la ville.
Ce bien est présenté par Jordane OLAGNE, agent commercial E.I et enregistré au RSAC de Lyon n°812 122 661.
Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Écully
A prestigious western suburb of Lyon, home to several grandes écoles and the Paul Bocuse culinary institute. It's leafy, safe, and family-oriented with excellent restaurants, but housing prices reflect its desirability — it's Lyon's answer to a wealthy American suburb.
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.
