A wonderful option for those looking to invest in a traditional alpine property with charm, space, and scope for future development

Set in the charming Savoyard village of Le Biot, this detached character farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to own a traditional alpine property with enormous potential for transformation. Situated in the hamlet of les Moulins, this south-facing property combines rustic charm with a peaceful location and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

Property Overview

With a footprint of approximately 100m², the house is arranged over two main levels:

  • Level -1: A spacious cellar, ideal for storage or conversion.
  • Level 0: A fitted kitchen with dining area and cosy living space, one double bedroom, two additional windowless bedrooms, and two shower rooms (including one en-suite with separate WC). A summer kitchen/laundry area offers further versatility.
  • Level 1: A large traditional barn space ripe for conversion into additional living accommodation (subject to planning permission).

  • Off-street parking for one to two vehicles.
