We Plan to Build 3 Houses in St. Oyens, Canton de Vaud
We plan to build 3 houses on our land in the village of St. Oyens. The plan is for very energy efficient houses - well insulated and and powered by solar energy, so almost independent from the grid. Currently the plans are for 1 each of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom houses.
As you probably know the Swiss law relating to zoning and building has been changed and each community must propose a new plan for the 'aménagements du territoire' (the development of the village territory). Since the property is surrounded by other houses we believe we will eventually obtain building permission (we hope in 2020).
St. Oyens is at the foot of the Jura above and about 10-15minutes from Rolle. In the past I used to be able to drive to the Geneva airport in 30 minutes. Today's traffic can make that more time consuming.
I will be updating this blog with news of our progress, amenities in the region, our neighbours (if they allow me to do so) and pictures. The pictures below give you an impression of the village and living in this region.
