An utter rarity to the market, Alpine Property proudly showcases Maison des Vallons. This unique property, steeped in history, is a landmark of refined beauty and regal proposition dominating the authentic hamlet of Vallon d’en Bas. Sitting within 4319m2 of (non-constructible) private grounds, this majestic property is easily accessible located on the valley floor, a two minute drive, or twelve minute walk, to Samoens village centre.

The first bourgeoise house of its kind in the Giffre valley, Maison des Vallons has remained in the same family since its original construction predating the revolution, in circa 1787. In the 19th century, the west wing of the property was extended and a second roof was added over the original roof, to correct its pitch. More recently, in the early 2000s, the roof was recovered in grey tiles by local artisans and repainted externally some twelve years ago.

Set over three floors, the estimated floor area of Maison des Vallons measures 674m2 of which 574m2 is considered habitable. This south facing property has thirteen bedrooms (two of which are less than 9m2)and contains some truly magnificent features with impressive floor to ceiling height, original wooden paneling, carved stone detailing, parquet flooring, antique period wallpaper and exposed fireplaces.

Nonetheless, Maison des Vallons calls for significant investment close to its price tag to bring it into a realm of comfort that it undeniably deserves. The property currently contains original single glazed windows, electrical wiring more than forty years old and no central heating except for a handful of fireplaces and wood burners.

Maison des Vallons is for serious contenders only, who are unphased by an internal renovation project, and will honor Samoens’ local patrimony. The property ideally lends itself to a prospective buyer seeking a sizeable home to welcome family or friends or operate as an upmarket rental opportunity.
