Property description

New Property:

Ferme Verte is a fully renovated chalet which dates back to the 1700s. The chalet can either be set up as 3 separate dwellings or a connected chalet. The floor area is 365m² plus a cellar of 25m² (therefore the total floor area is 390m²).

The chalet has been fully renovated to a high standard and has retained the ancient timbers whilst creating a modern ‘ECO’ ethic. The heating system is Geothermic with 3km of capture pipes buried in the garden, use of Fermacell board, and 2 x 3000l water tanks buried for rain water capture.

The first floor comprises 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a large open plan, double height, living/dining area, modern fully fitted kitchen, an open fire and hand-carved staircase. There is access to the 16 m² balcony from the living room. In addition there is a utility room and guest sauna. On the mezzanine floor there is a master bedroom, a bathroom, 2 smaller rooms and an open mezzanine/reading area.

On the ground floor there is a separate apartment (although this could be accessed internally by removing a partition wall). This floor comprises an open plan living area with ancient "wood burning stove" and modern, fully fitted kitchen, 3 bedrooms (one with ensuite shower), a family bathroom and an office (or single guest room). There is also a cellar and utility room. This floor also benefits from a separately accessed 19m² studio apartment with ensuite shower and kitchenette.

Externally the chalet has a 1,300m² garden with a large deck of 75m² and hot tub ‘swim spa’ of 6m x 2.2m and a renovated shed which is currently used as office. There is gravelled parking for 4 cars. The balcony and terrace have wonderful views of the Chaine d’Aravis/Fiz and Clos de Forclaz.

Ferme Verte is situated a few hundred metres from the Bellevue cable-car (one of the two main lifts in les Houches) so is a short walk for the skiing and the summer trails. The restaurants and bars are also a few minutes' walk.

Our opinion
This chalet really is something special. The refurbishment is unique (especially considering its ecological properties) and has created a property that would be ideal for either a business or a family.

In addition, the sale of the adjacent lodge with 3 apartments (2 fully renovated) would be considered.
