EQUESTRIAN PROPERTY
Exceptional equestrian estate blending history and modernity

Nestled in the heart of the Fribourg countryside, a short distance from the Roman city of Avenches in the municipality of Belmont-Broye, this rare estate combines patrimonial charm with high-flying equestrian infrastructures. Isolated at the end of a private road, it offers a preserved haven of peace while benefiting from quick access to motorways, shops and especially the prestigious National Stud Farm and the Avenches National Equestrian Institute (IENA).

A hamlet steeped in history

The main building (1691), a former mill restored with soul, unfolds its 4 levels around a majestic living room adorned with an artist's fireplace. Technical ground floor, upstairs bedrooms and attics converted into an independent studio compose this stone setting enlarged in 1970.

The stöckly, independent 2.5-room accommodation on 3 levels, perfect for guests or staff.

The historic stable (1834) with 6 spacious boxes, professional tack room and hay barn, enhanced by modern equipment (anti-freeze drinkers, rubber floors).

An equestrian and botanical paradise

The 3 hectares of land dominate the Broye plain, revealing a panoramic view between the lakes of Neuchâtel and Morat. Enthusiasts will find:

✓ Professional paddock 25x40 m drained/lit
✓ 4 enclosed paddocks secured by electric fences
✓ Vegetable garden and old hen house for bucolic self-sufficiency
✓ Direct access to the IENA (20 min on horseback) and its Olympic facilities

A preserved sanctuary

This rare real estate jewel blends the authenticity of a centuries-old heritage with contemporary comfort, all enveloped in a generous nature where horses and residents coexist in perfect harmony. A unique opportunity to combine traditional art of living and equestrian excellence at the crossroads of French-speaking Switzerland.
