Buying a house with a pool
A period house, a recent villa or a house on the roof of a building: these are all types of property that can share one thing in common — a pool! It can be the little extra when buying a property, or an essential, non-negotiable criterion. Enjoying convivial moments in complete privacy, relaxing, having fun with friends or family — living in a house with a pool is certainly a pleasant lifestyle.
In Lyon and its surroundings, there are many opportunities to acquire a property with a private pool. Around Lyon, it is easier to find properties with large grounds featuring a terrace, a pool and a relaxation area. But you can also find surprising living spaces in the heart of Lyon, without grounds but with beautifully laid-out patios full of charm and… a pool. Discover all of our properties for sale in Lyon.
The little extras of a house with a pool
Grounds with no overlooking neighbours, a heated pool, an infinity pool, with a magnificent view: these are all criteria that can spark a real crush when buying a house with a pool. Sometimes, by the pool area, you may have a pool house: like a small house with a bathroom, a WC and sometimes a fitted kitchen. A perfect spot for long summer afternoons and evenings! The pool then becomes the ideal place where you can stay self-sufficient. Each house has its own style, and the same goes for pools, of which there are many.

The different types of pool
In-ground pools are the so-called traditional, most classic pools. They allow for many configurations and can adapt to all your wishes.
Semi-in-ground pools are not fully buried, which has many advantages: they can be installed on steeply sloping grounds and require less cleaning, as they are not in direct contact with your grounds or anything else.
Above-ground pools are made of wood, PVC or steel and are simply set up in your garden; they require no earthworks or installation works and are therefore easier and quicker to install than a traditional pool.
Infinity pools are in-ground pools that “overflow” on one or more sides of the basin into a second basin located lower down. Most often, they are custom-built in concrete. You then enjoy a lovely waterfall in your garden or, better still, facing a beautiful open view.
The indoor pool is a classic pool, except that it is located inside your house, apartment or outbuildings, on the ground floor or an upper floor. You can then enjoy it all year round, whether or not you have a garden; the water is at the right temperature whatever the weather, and you are sheltered from bad weather and pollution: a dream.
The swimming lane (couloir de nage) is an in-ground pool built lengthways, originally intended for swimming; it is increasingly on-trend and gives your garden an original style while adapting to small surfaces. It usually measures 10 to 30 metres long and around 3 metres wide, often flat-bottomed and not necessarily very deep.
There are no right combinations between a property type and a pool type: you can find an infinity pool in a contemporary house or a 19th-century property.
Where to find a house with a pool for sale in Lyon?
Everywhere! Or almost. In the heart of Lyon, a few arrondissements offer houses for sale, such as the 3rd, 4th, 5th or 7th, with more or less grounds. The size of the grounds does not determine whether you can find or build a pool there. Around Lyon, in the Monts d’Or, the Val de Saône or the west of Lyon, there are many opportunities to find a beautiful house with a pool. Single-storey or on several levels, period or contemporary in style, the priority criteria are based on the needs relating to the house. A villa with a pool, a manor with a pool, an architect-designed house with a pool… pool or not, one can be added later and built to your taste.
