Magnificent renovated farm. Entered into the history of watchmaking

IN 1985, THIS RESTORED OLD FARM HAD RECEIVED THE NEUCHÂTEL HEIMATSCHUTZ PRIZE.THE PAST TO THE PRESENTWhen architecture is combined with the past, or how to bridge three and a half centuries of history.Between the "beautiful room" original and the modern living room installed in the old barn, there is only a simple wooden door. And a leap of three hundred and fifty years. But no shock: just life continuing, in the gentle hills of this northern end of the Val-de-Ruz.It is a Jurassic farm, like some still existing in the region. Built in 1652, it had belonged, throughout the last century, to the same family of modest peasants, the Scheideggers. When the father died in the sixties, the mother and daughter continued to live there, as in the previous century, with just electricity and water to be drawn from the cistern. The tiny habitable part consisted of the hearth (kitchen), the "beautiful room" where one only entered on holidays, and above, a small room: the "grandfather's room", which was accessed by a hatch by climbing onto the stove. Everything else was the barn and the empty stable. The house was abandoned in the mid-seventies when the mother died and the daughter had to be placed in a home.For ten years, Henri and Paule Schneider had been searching the region for a farm to renovate. They must have passed by this ruin ten times: damaged walls, a roof ready to collapse, a rotten structure... What prompted them, on this summer day in 1979, to take a look inside? And there, in what remained of the kitchen, supporting a blackened hearth where a small wood stove sat, they stopped in front of the column: a masterpiece of a corner column in stone, carved, intact, beautiful as on the first day, supporting a chimney with a straight lintel. They bought the column... with the ruin around it. Not without having to convince an investor who wanted to install vacation apartments there. Purchase price: 50,000 francs. The Heimatschutz then stepped in and immediately classified the facade. For the rest... began for the brave owners an adventure similar to the one told by Katharina von Arx in Ma Folie Romainmôtier.Henri Schneider, ETS engineer in the watchmaking industry, and his wife Paule - "no training but passions" - worked with craftsmen from the region, rediscovering traditional techniques, relearning traditional gestures, transforming themselves, from weekend to weekend, into laborers, masons, carpenters, draftsmen, historians. First objective: the rough construction. Jean-Louis Geiser, carpenter from La Ferrière, built the new structure, calculated according to modern norms but using the techniques of the old building: six columns, roof beams cut from fir tree trunks, beams and posts adjusted and fixed with wooden pegs. The 305 m² of roofing were covered, as originally, with 66 cm long wooden shingles, cut from white fir, which Henri Schneider had chosen in the forest, accompanied by Denis Sauser from La Chaux-du-Milieu, one of the last specialists of this art (he received the Heimatschutz prize in 1981).

Old farm to renovate in the heart of nature

Welcome At the western entrance of the hamlet of La Montagne de Cernier, about 700 meters from the cantonal road of La Vue-des-Alpes and 7 kilometers from Cernier, an old 19th-century farmhouse stands back from the road in a quiet location. The main facade is oriented southeast, which offers good sunlight and a view of the pastures. The setting is that of the Jura ridges, far from urban centers but only 10 kilometers from La Chaux-de-Fonds and 11 kilometers from Neuchâtel.The construction is massive: masonry in rubble stones with corner chains in natural stone, two-pitched roof in tiles supported by a wooden frame, gables clad in vertical slats, windows and shutters in wood. The central heating with wood, complemented by a sanitary hot water system and solar panels installed on the west roof, constitutes a coherent installation for a building of this type, outside the public network. Drinking water is ensured by two external cisterns fed by the roof, distributed by a pressure booster.Important maintenance, updating, and compliance work is to be expected. Let's visit... Access to the property is from the road of La Montagne de Cernier. It extends over a plot of approximately 1'215 m², with a vegetable garden, various plantations, and a chicken coop.The two apartmentsThe building houses two apartments with a heterogeneous layout, the result of a long history and successive uses. The comfort, in its current state, is reduced: the rooms testify to their era, the circulations deserve to be rethought. This is where the renovation work takes on its full meaning: freeing the buyer from all inherited constraints and offering him the possibility of designing, within a massive and permanent envelope, the spaces he really wants to inhabit.The stable and the barnAdjacent to the dwelling, the rural volume comprising the stable and the barn represents a considerable potential for transformation, within the limits of the admissible uses. Although the building is no longer part of the LDFR, it remains protected. A study on the new allocation of the entire interior volume would constitute, at this stage, the natural starting point for a project.The exteriorA vegetable garden, established plantations, and a chicken coop, the immediate environment is already structured and living. The opening to the southeast ensures a beautiful light on the main facade. Perspective of the work to be considered The building is equipped with a central wood heating system with radiator distribution. The old boiler is coupled to a sanitary hot water tank as well as 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 recently renovated. A global reflection on the reallocation and optimization of the interior volumes would be relevant. This freedom of layout is one of the great advantages of this property, offering a rare opportunity to rethink a space with strong architectural character according to one's own vision.The water supply is provided by three external cisterns. However, the entire installation will have to be subject to inspection and repair work.The property also has a septic tank that has not been brought into compliance with current requirements, with adaptation work to be expected in the medium term.Regarding radon, a detailed technical report has been established and is available to interested parties. This presents the measurements made in the building as well as the various sanitation possibilities considered in order to meet current requirements. The steps to be taken are now clearly identified, allowing a future buyer to have a transparent vision of the situation and possible improvements.According to the CANEPO and SITN extracts, no polluted sites or particular natural hazards are listed.
