Description:

For a picture-perfect Alpine home in a beautiful location look no further than this 4 bedroom farmhouse originally built in 1796 and impeccably converted in 2013 into two habitable levels plus mezzanine in the modern "upside down" style. The upper level is one large, airy L-shaped space flowing through from the light-filled kitchen and breakfast room to the dining room and double-height lounge with open beams and stunning feature fireplace. This space opens to balconies on both sides to make the most of the sunshine and views. A sweet little mezzanine overlooking the lounge houses a bedroom with en suite bathroom and the rest of the bedrooms are on the garden level. The property is South East and South West-facing with vistas taking in the Pleney slopes in one direction and a great vantage point on the balcony to watch the weekly and festive day fireworks. The opposite way looks up the Vallee de la Manche offering forest and mountain views.

The farmhouse is on a small road set above the Route de la Manche which runs the length of the valley right up to the Lac des Mines d'Or, with a walking track running the entire length of the valley alongside the river on the other side. This doubles as a cross country ski track in winter and the return leg of the off-piste Vallee de la Manche tour. It is a pleasant 30-40 minute walk from the chalet to the centre of Morzine on this track or you can hop on the bus 150m from the chalet during the seasons. The cable car at Nyon is the nearest point of departure to get up and onto the slopes of the Portes du Soleil in the Nyon/Morzine/Les Gets sector and is only 5 minutes away on the bus. Either jump off here or continue into Morzine for further connections.

The property, 197m2 set on a plot of 578m2, comprises:
