I'm leaving... for La Douce France! Are you looking for a unique property in north-eastern France, in the Grand-Est region of Lorraine? Here you will find peace, space, beautiful nature and unprecedented opportunities to live, work and welcome guests in a Brutalist building dating from 1923. With a floor area of no less than 1,500 m², spread over five floors and an attic, this is a building with unprecedented possibilities. Currently, there are two bright and spacious apartments, an entire floor that is currently used for receptions and yoga classes, and two workshops of 250 m². And the view... indescribably beautiful. Location: From Utrecht, it is approximately a 5-hour drive to this beautiful spot in northern France, east of Reims and west of Luxembourg. The distance to the Belgian border is approximately 45 minutes, and the border with the Netherlands, south of Maastricht, is approximately 210 kilometers away. The lush green surroundings, within the protected area of the Meuse Valley, are a place to enjoy to the fullest. The village of Gercourt-et-Drillancourt has a rich history, like many French villages, and is characterized by rural charm, with traditional French houses and nature. Here you can forget the hustle and bustle, enjoy nature to the fullest, and relax. The property, an architectural heritage site, has been a landmark in the landscape for many years. It inspires creativity, stimulates connection, and invites you to relax, dream, and build something meaningful. The building: Built in 1923 from rough concrete, this building is a rare architectural masterpiece of its time. With its Art Deco ornaments, it reflects the industrial elegance of the early 20th century. Originally a metal factory until the late 1960s, it has since been redesigned as a unique space for living and creating. Each floor is surrounded by windows offering breathtaking panoramic views. Following the harmony and proportions of the original design, custom-welded metal elements have been added to create comfortable spaces within the rough industrial structure. The layout is completely flexible and can be adapted to all types of projects. This building, with all its windows allowing sunlight to stream in throughout the day, enjoys exceptional natural light. As you move through the different levels, the light and perspectives on the surrounding nature constantly shift. General layout: The main entrance to the building is accessed via a footbridge, which leads directly to a spacious multifunctional floor. This space offers potential for a yoga studio, a painting studio, a loft, pop-up events, and much more. There are sanitary facilities, as well as a kitchen and a good indoor connection to the other facilities. There is not only a staircase but also a lift system between the different floors. The floor above has a large open living space, a spacious kitchen, and four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. This floor is fully equipped and is currently used for short-stay rentals, so it can comfortably accommodate groups or a family. One floor higher is a bright loft with an open kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry room, and a spacious balcony. Sitting on the balcony, you can enjoy the sun and the unique view. You have a wide view that stretches for miles into nature. A living painting, fascinating in every season. The top floor is a spacious attic under a metal roof structure, with a ridge height of 8 meters. This open, raw space offers endless creative possibilities. The two lower floors are intended for work. Each of these floors houses a large, fully customizable workshop suitable for production, creative activities, or storage. These spacious, raw, and light-filled spaces include storage areas, office space, and an electric hoisting system. A secondary entrance on the ground floor, with wide industrial doors, provides easy access for cars and trucks for the delivery of materials. Outside: The brutalist building stands on a plot of approximately 2300 m2. There are two concrete parking areas, one near the footbridge and another on the lower floor. From this parking area, there is easy and direct access to the building. There is also a large garden with beautiful trees and an orchard for the ultimate feeling of freedom and openness.
