Chalet Buche

A rare Savoyard farmhouse set high above the valley with an uninterrupted south‑facing aspect and approximately 12,296 m² of land. Built in 1823 and renovated between 1997 and 2004 by its current owners, this 226 m² (habitable) farm home sits in a small, little‑known mountain hamlet where elevation, light and silence shape daily life. A haven for people who live for the mountains and within easy reach of Geneva (48km away). The setting offers uninterrupted, panoramic views across the Giffre valley from sunrise to sunset. Arranged over three levels, the interior combines generous proportions with original character. Ground floor: western entrance hall; large open kitchen and dining area; eastern entrance into what was the farmhouse’s original kitchen, now a cosy reception room with a double‑sided closed fireplace opening to a large south‑facing living room; shower room with WC; and a sauna. Upper level: principal south‑facing bedroom with balcony; workshop/studio with independent exterior access; a dormitory accessed via the studio; and two further bedrooms, each with balcony and mezzanine. Sanitary outlets are in place for an additional bathroom and underfloor‑heating pipework is laid in parts. A cellar occupies the lower level. Outside, the plot blends meadow and mixed woodland with traditional outbuildings, including a wooden mazot to the southwest, garden space and four parking places. In addition to the existing 226 m² of living space, the property includes a traditional 65 m² barn which offers the possibility of creating two additional levels, providing around 130 m² of further accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions. A new driveway has been laid; access is rural and steep in places so a 4x4 is recomAmended. Two on‑site water sources exist, and connecting to the mains water supply is straightforward. The property is served by a compliant septic tank and the electrical installation complies with current regulations. Heating is by electric radiators, with provisions and pipework to extend wet underfloor heating in some areas; insulation has been added and timbers treated against woodworm. Designed for the discerning enthusiast, this property offers a rare retreat into the heart of the mountains. Perched at altitude, it commands breathtaking vistas and an atmosphere of profound tranquility. With premier biking and hiking trails directly on your doorstep, this home is more than a residence—it is an immersion into authentic alpine living, tailored for those who prioritize the grandeur of nature over modern convenience. This family home has been cherished for 30 years, filled with countless mountain adventures. It now awaits a new owner ready to invest care and imagination, becoming the steward of this magnificent mountain farm.

Chalet Christiania is a property of rare scale and character, located in one of the most sought-after and sunny neighbourhoods of Saint-Jean-d’Aulps. Offering an unusual combination of generous family living and genuine income potential, it would particularly suit buyers looking to create a new life in the mountains whilst retaining the flexibility of an established rental business. The property has been successfully operated as rental accommodation for many years, with substantial private owner’s accommodation completely separate from the guest areas. Its size and configuration would also make it particularly well suited to multi-generational living, offering plenty of space for an extended family whilst still allowing everyone a degree of independence. This expansive property has been meticulously upgraded from top to bottom and combines its original Alpine character with modern comfort. Improvements include double glazing throughout, recently decorated floors and walls, an updated kitchen and bathrooms. MAIN CHALET The main part of the chalet provides extensive accommodation arranged over several levels, with generous communal spaces designed to comfortably accommodate larger groups. The living areas are spacious and welcoming, with plenty of room for family and guests to gather together, whilst the numerous bedrooms and bathrooms provide the flexibility required for both private and rental use. OWNER’S DUPLEX A real strength of Christiania is the completely separate owner’s accommodation. This provides a generous private home alongside the main chalet and means that new owners could continue to operate the rental element of the property without compromising their own living space. Equally, this independent accommodation could be ideal for extended family, visiting friends or anyone wanting separate living areas within the same property. OUTSIDE SPACE The chalet benefits from a large garden and outdoor areas where guests and family can enjoy the mountain surroundings throughout the year. The property also has useful additional storage and garage space. Chalet Christiania offers a level of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find in the valley. It could continue as an established rental business with substantial private accommodation, become an impressive family home, or provide the opportunity for new owners to combine a move to the Alps with an ongoing source of income. For buyers looking for space, independence and the possibility of creating an entirely new lifestyle in the mountains, Christiania represents a genuinely unusual opportunity.
