Located in the heart of the Prez-vers-Noréaz forest in a clearing surrounded by trees, this estate was previously a mill that operated thanks to the force of the Arbogne stream bordering the plot. Since 1980, it was well known to the Fribourg residents for having been transformed into a mini-zoo.
This site became a regional attraction for many years with its exotic animals, ponies, llamas, and an emu. Many abandoned dogs and cats also found refuge to be cared for. The old mill collapsed and only the old farm remained, which had housing and public reception.
Closed in 2007, a private ranch project was supposed to emerge but ultimately did not materialize.
A building permit had been issued at that time, which allowed for the start of work with an interior demolition of the building. The prolonged halt of the work led to the loss of this permit.
Furthermore, the area of << Moulin-de-Prez >>, which had been designated as a building zone << leisure zone >> during the PAL (local development plan) in 1993, was de-zoned outside the building zone during the last general revision of the PAL of the municipality in 2021. It is therefore in an agricultural zone, subject to the LDFR (law on rural land rights).
After long administrative procedures and a local vision in May 2022 to revive the building permit, the cantonal service gave a favorable opinion for the destruction/reconstruction of the farm.
A plot of 1,400 m2 will be subdivided and exempted from the LDFR. The rest of the plot as well as 4 other plots can be acquired by an agricultural operator.
Non-negotiable price, direct purchase without conditions.
