Built in 1760 and beautifully remodeled by an architect and artist, this exceptional property combines historic Swiss charm with creative living. The result is a home that feels both authentic and inspiring, where every room has its own personality.

The main house offers approximately 164 m² of living space over two floors, complemented by a 66 m² heated atelier connected directly to the house. It even has it's own Cheminee as well to create a cozy space in winter. Whether you are an artist, designer, work from home, or simply appreciate having additional space, the atelier offers endless possibilities.

The heart of the home is its warm and inviting kitchen and living room space. The living room has traditional wooden wall paneling and a row of windows that look out to the garden. In the winter with the kachelofen burning, this room is very inviting. But it's hard to decide which is cozier because in the kitchen you could sit and actually watch the fire because of the glass door that was made especially for that oven. The kitchen has space not only for a dining table, but also space in front of the fire on those dark colder months, which are hard to imagine these days.

But speaking of summer days, this house will make you think you have air conditioning. It is so nice and cool all summer long! Plus, from Spring through Summer you can have your own flower arrangements throughout the house.

Upstairs, there are 4 rooms, plus a spacious bathroom that includes the laundry room. One of the bedrooms has 2 walls full of built in storage!

Outside, the property opens onto a mature, fully fenced garden that has been lovingly established over many years. A magnificent linden tree shades the house throughout the summer, which is a big reason the house stays so cool all summer.

The house is located literally on Jonenbach. That creek will be your soundtrack to living in this house. A private bridge over the creek belongs to the property and offers a peaceful place to sit, relax and enjoy the surroundings.

The property also includes a traditional root cellar, a spacious cellar, with direct access to the garden.

Located in the picturesque village of Rifferswil, the house enjoys a peaceful setting while offering quick access to Mettmenstetten, Affoltern am Alibs and Hausen am Albis via the Bus stop that is directly off the property.

This home is best suited to someone who enjoys a hands-on lifestyle. Heating with wood is part of daily life during the winter months, and the mature garden thrives with regular care throughout the seasons. In return, the house offers exceptional warmth, character, and a beautiful outdoor setting that rewards the time invested in it.
