A stunning Savoyard farmhouse near Verchaix, built in 1823 and renovated by its current owners, occupying an elevated, south-facing position in a secluded mountain hamlet.

Several rooms benefit from balconies, while mezzanine areas add further flexibility. There is also scope to create an additional bathroom. A cellar provides useful storage below.

The grounds are complemented by a traditional 65 m² barn, with potential to create around 130 m² of further accommodation over two levels, subject to planning permission. A mazot, garden, additional outbuildings and four parking spaces complete the exterior.

The property has two existing water sources, a compliant septic system and an electrical installation meeting current standards. Mains water connection is straightforward. Heating is currently electric, with provision for underfloor heating in parts of the house. Access is via a newly laid but steep rural driveway, for which a 4x4 is recommended.
