About This Property

Nestled on the beautiful Plaine Joux plateau, between the villages of Onnion and Bogève, this authentic Alpine farmhouse enjoys a stunning setting surrounded by unspoilt mountain scenery.

The building is structurally sound, benefiting from a reinforced concrete floor already installed between the ground and first floors. The original timber framework remains in excellent condition and features a striking traditional wooden chimney structure, showcasing the property's historic character. The farmhouse currently has no water, electricity or septic system installed, although neighbouring properties are connected to these services.

The property sits within a single parcel of 11,665m², with the land surrounding the farmhouse. Comprising predominantly sloping alpine meadows, the grounds offer a wonderful sense of space. From the highest point of the land, there are views towards Mont Blanc. The road between the two villages passes in front of the building, allowing year round access.

Plaine Joux is a protected natural area renowned for its exceptional environment and outdoor activities. During the winter months, the plateau transforms into an extensive cross-country skiing area. Any renovation project must comply with the requirements of the Loi Montagne and the regulations governing traditional chalets d'alpage.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic alpine farmhouse in an exceptional natural setting. While it requires a substantial renovation project and careful consideration of the regulations governing mountain and alpine pasture buildings, it offers enormous potential for those seeking to create a unique mountain retreat. The combination of a structurally sound building, over one hectare of adjoining land, breathtaking surroundings and proximity to year-round outdoor activities makes this a compelling prospect for buyers with vision, patience and a passion for Alpine heritage.

The property enjoys easy access to a variety of ski areas. The family-friendly slopes of Le Massif des Brasses are just 8 minutes away, while Hirmentaz can be reached in 20 minutes. The larger Sommand–Praz de Lys ski domain is approximately 30 minutes away, with Les Gets and the vast Portes du Soleil ski area accessible within 45 minutes. Geneva city centre and international airport are around 50 minutes by car, while the villages of Onnion and Bogève provide convenient access to local shops and everyday amenities.

Chalet L'Oreade

For Sale 470,000 €
4 Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval 88 m²

4 bedroom Chalet for sale in Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval — mountain character, room to make it yours On the Route de la Cascade du Rouget in the sought-after hamlet of Salvagny, this traditional chalet offers 87.65 m² of living space, four bedrooms and a generous living room — well suited to a family holiday home or rental investment. Set in a well-kept garden with exterior parking and a sunny balcony, the chalet pairs authentic alpine character with genuinely usable outdoor space. A recently renovated roof and a new wood burner are already in place, taking two major expenses off a buyer's list from day one. The sleeping capacity is generous for a chalet of this size, and the overall feel is warm and inviting. Inside, the entrance opens onto a welcoming living room built around the wood burner — a warm, social heart to the home with direct access to the balcony. Four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are spread across two levels, giving flexible sleeping arrangements and privacy for guests. The plot itself totals 477 m² of buildable land, meaning an extension to the existing building is possible, subject to planning permission being granted by the Mairie — an appealing option for a buyer looking to grow the property over time. The septic tank, although fully functioning, is over ten years old, so buyers should budget for replacement within the first year of ownership. The property is currently set up as a primary residence, is in excellent functioning condition, and a new owner could move in immediately. That said, buyers ready to invest some renovation work will unlock its full potential — a solid alpine base with room to make it their own. Contact us to arrange a viewing.
