luxury architect houses for sale Savoie, France

Some properties are simply places to visit. Others tell a story. Babolat, an independent agency, presents this remarkable residence : a former cable car station that has undergone an exceptional transformation. At an altitude of 1,500 meters, on a natural promontory overlooking the valley, this chalet is located just a 2-minute drive from the first ski lifts in La Plagne within the Paradiski ski area. With a bold vision and deep respect for its original identity, the owners have preserved the industrial spirit of the place while giving it a new residential purpose. Today, this architect-designed property spans nearly 455 m² of floor space (358 m² Carrez) and features spectacular volumes where glass, steel, concrete, wood, and stone are harmoniously blent. Set on a 1,813 m² lot with no neighbors in sight, on the edge of the forest, it enjoys a prime location and a breathtaking panorama of the iconic peaks of the Alps, from Mont Blanc to Pierra Menta. The spacious north- and south-facing terraces extend the living spaces into a magnificent natural setting that changes with the four seasons, making it a delightful place to live. The heart of the home is organized around a generous, light-filled reception room, where a central fireplace defines the living spaces. An open kitchen, double living room, bedrooms, a mezzanine office, and numerous windows overlooking the outdoors come together to create a warm and contemporary space. The history of the place is evident at every turn. The original architectural lines, the extraordinary proportions, and certain elements inspired by its industrial past give the property a rare character. This building has inspired newspaper articles and television reports such as “Des Racines et des Ailes” and “Du côté de chez vous.” Designed to welcome family and guests in absolute comfort, the house can also be configured as two independent residences. A second living area spread over three levels includes several bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a master suite, reception areas, and separate entrances, offering numerous possibilities: a family home, a multigenerational residence, or a high-end lodging business. Built in its current configuration in the early 1990s, the property has retained most of its original features and amenities. While it remains perfectly livable, modernization or renovation projects may be considered according to the expectations of its future owners. A rare opportunity to unlock the full potential of this unique property while respecting its architectural identity and history. An attached garage, a cellar, a laundry room, several outdoor parking spaces (including two covered ones), and a stunning glass-enclosed space with an ornamental pondwhich could be transformed into a spectacular winter gardencomplete the property.
