Tastefully renovated, this south-facing traditional village house is located close to the center of Venosc and offers a rare combination of authentic mountain character, generous outdoor space, flexible accommodation and superb access to the year-round attractions of the Oisans.
Set just moments from the lively centre with its restaurants and cafes, the property enjoys a wonderfully sunny position. The private garden and sun terrace are particularly rare in this part of Venosc, creating an inviting outdoor space for long summer lunches, après-ski relaxation and enjoying the spectacular surrounding mountain scenery throughout the seasons.
Arranged over three levels, the house offers authentic alpine character with modern flexibility. The property has been thoughtfully renovated to create two self-contained apartments with independent entrances. This versatile configuration makes the property equally appealing as a spacious family residence, a multi-generational Alpine retreat or a home with excellent potential for holiday rental income.
The main entrance opens into a beautifully appointed farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with a wood-burning stove and attractive original character. From here, a spiral staircase leads to the first floor, where a bright and exceptionally spacious south-facing bedroom enjoys an abundance of natural light. This level also provides a bathroom, separate WC, storage and the second independent entrance.
The ground floor is completed by a charming, vaulted bedroom with en-suite bathroom, creating a particularly atmospheric Alpine bedroom.
The upper apartment is accessed via a separate entrance and wooden staircase. Here, a second kitchen and bathroom accompany the delightful attic-style master bedroom, with its sloping ceilings and intimate Alpine character.
Sliding doors open directly onto the balcony, where superb mountain views provide the perfect backdrop for an evening drink after a day exploring the mountains.
A year-round Alpine lifestyle
One of this properties strengths is its location. Venosc sits on the edge of the Ecrins National Park, one of France's most spectacular mountain environments and a true playground for lovers of the great outdoors. From skiing and snowboarding to road cycling, mountain biking, climbing, hiking, paragliding and speed flying, the area offers an exceptional range of activities throughout the year.
The village is connected by gondola to the renowned Les Deux Alpes ski resort, giving owners and guests easy access to the extensive ski area while allowing them to retreat to the tranquillity and authentic atmosphere of village life.
For cyclists, the location is equally compelling, with the legendary mountain roads and cols of the Oisans within easy reach.
The ability to drive directly to the property is another significant advantage, particularly in a traditional mountain village where easy vehicle access can be difficult to find.
Properies with genuine personality are scarce — combining traditional stone construction, characterful interiors, private outdoor space and a highly versatile layout in one of the most sought-after authentic villages in the French Alps.
Whether conceived as a private family retreat, a home for extended stays or an investment with strong holiday rental potential, this lovely Alpine property offers an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of this spectacular environment.
A rare and highly appealing Alpine home in an authentic mountain village, perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of Venosc, Les Deux Alpes and the Oisans throughout the year.
