Full Description


The property is south west facing at an altitude of 1120m, accessible by 4x4 in summer a quad bike and/or skidoo would be required in winter months.
This ferme d'alpage has been conscientiously renovated with quality materials to a very high standard. It is completely independent, collects rainwater (although there is a source nearby), has solar panels with a battery and a backup generator. There is a water heater for the hot water and a heating circulation system using the heat from the kitchen stove.
The original idea behind the renovation was to run snow-shoe and hiking trips using the farmhouse as a base. There is scope to add another bedroom and also use some of the remaining loft space.
These properties are very popular. If we have a high response to this advertisement, we may consider an ‘open day' to allow for several visits.
From the expansive terrace, the front door opens into a well appointed kitchen with a wood burning range cooker. There is an open plan living room with a built-in log fire, also the main bedroom with washing facilities and a cellar.
Stairs lead up from the living area with a large trap door on a pulley so that the heat can be retained if the 1st floor is not in use. On this level there are two large bedrooms, a shower room, two composting toilets, a workshop and equipment store with access outside.
The land is sloping and surrounds the building +/- 600m2 with another plot of +/- 2000m2 of pasture land separate and to the rear of the farmhouse. There is a small shed that houses the generator.
The following times are given from where you would park a car and either walk up to the farm house (+/- 20 mins), or drive a 4x4, quad or skidoo. The nearest shops would be in the small village of Onnion about 6kms away, the larger town of St Jeoire is 11km. Geneva airport would be about an hour's drive. For skiing, there are many small family resorts within a 20 min drive and larger ski stations (les Portes du Soliel, Megeve) under the hour.
