This former "scierie" offers a fantastic opportunity to create your own Grand Design in the Alps. With immense proportions, it’s possible to envisage a property with a habitable floor space of up to 500m2; enough space for absolutely every added extra you could think of!

Part of the property is currently in more-than-habitable condition, with a cosy kitchen-diner with log burner, separate snug lounge, family bathroom and utility area on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are 3 large double bedrooms, and a spacious office area that could also serve as a children’s play area or second sitting room. The upstairs space has been recently converted and triple glazing has been fitted throughout.

The current living accommodation takes up only about a third of the property, which also houses the machinery of the former sawmill, and an open two-storey high barn, and multiple storage areas. The various spaces can all be redesigned and integrated in to one large property, which could have a huge amount of WOW factor with all the space and character available.

The property sits on a plot of over 1000m2, which is mostly flat. The property is also sold with an additional 1400m2 of land (approx) which does not adjoin the property, and is in a non-constructible zone.

The property is situated on a one-way road, and is within easy walking distance of the village centre, 5 minutes’ walk away along a pleasant footpath. In the village centre, you will find a selection of shops, bars and restaurants, as well as a doctor’s surgery, dentist and pharmacy. Morzine is under 10 minutes away by car, and is also accessible by ski bus from the village centre. Geneva airport is approx 75 minutes away.
