Perfect for visionaries, renovators, or anyone with a dream of Alpine living – this is your chance to create something truly special!

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.
