About this property

  • Workshop, outbuilding(s)

Nestled in a peaceful hamlet just outside the charming village of Le Biot, this authentic Savoyard farmhouse offers exceptional potential for those seeking a character-filled renovation project in a stunning Alpine setting. Dating back to 1893, the property includes a detached main house, a large two-storey stone-and-wood annex, a mazot, and surrounding land totalling approximately 2,400m².

**Property Overview**

This former farmstead spans two levels plus a basement, with a footprint of around 100m², and includes:

- *Basement:* A large main cellar and a second vaulted cellar, ideal for wine storage or future conversion.

- *Ground Floor:* Entrance hallway, fitted kitchen, and a living room with wood-burning insert, two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower and WC, external access to a storage room (cellier).

- *Upper Level:* A spacious open barn with exposed beams and timber flooring – ripe for transformation into additional living space (subject to planning approval).

**Annex Building**

A detached two-level stone-and-wood outbuilding, currently uninhabitable:

- *Ground floor:* bare flooring.

- *Upper level:* wooden floor.

- Excellent potential to convert into a separate dwelling, studio, or workshop (services not yet connected).

**Exterior**

- Covered terrace, private parking area, mazot, and garden.

- Parcel is made up of multiple plots, with the house and annex legally designated for residential use in the local zoning plan (plu).

- Total land area includes a non-adjoining parcel, ideal for gardening or recreation.

**Construction & Technical Details**

- Stone masonry on the ground floor, timber upper barn, and steel sheet roofing (2015) in excellent condition.

- Non-insulated roof, recent electric heating, and double-glazed windows with shutters.

- Septic tank (not up to current standards).

- The main house is habitable, though a full renovation (including insulation and finishing of the barn) is required for modern living standards.

- The annex is structurally sound, but also in need of full renovation for habitation.

**Location**

- Peaceful countryside location, just 1.5km from Le Biot village centre.

- 14km to Morzine, 19km to Thonon-les-Bains, and 60km to Geneva Airport.

- Orientation: South and West, offering plenty of natural light and pastoral views. Some neighbouring properties nearby, but not directly overlooking.

**Condition & Potential**

- The main ground floor is liveable, making it possible to reside on-site while undertaking works.

- Ideal for those seeking to create a bespoke Alpine home, holiday let, or investment property.

- The annex offers additional development potential, whether for multi-generational living, a rental unit, or professional workspace.

**Why You'll Love It**

- A rare, character-filled property with great bones and huge potential

- Quiet natural setting with peaceful views and sunshine

- Live-in-ready ground floor while you renovate

- Separate outbuilding for future conversion

- Increasingly rare opportunity to buy a traditional Savoyard farmhouse.
