Ferme Les Moulins
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.
