luxury architect house for sale Les Allues, France

Located in the picturesque Savoyard village of Saint Martin de Belleville, this exciting real estate project will see the renovation of a former barn to create a fully customisable family home. Set off the road on a sunny plateau in the Croix de Fer district of the resort, the property overlooks Les Menuires and the Pointe de la Masse to the south, and Perron des Encombres and the lower Belleville valley to the west. Just 230 metres from the ski slopes on foot, the barn is also just a short walk away from the centre of the village with its pretty baroque church and range of shops and restaurants including family-run establishment L’Etoile des Neiges. With over 160 kilometres of ski runs, and 33 ski lifts providing easy access to the slopes, Saint Martin de Belleville is also connected to the Trois Vallées, one of the largest interconnected ski areas in the world. Easily accessible on a year-round basis from Chambéry airport, Saint Martin de Belleville is not just a ski resort but also a popular destination for summer holidays. The Alpine region lends itself to a full range of outdoor activities, such as hiking, mountain biking, and paragliding while the resort also has several tennis courts and a swimming pool to keep you busy during the warmer months. THE PROPERTY A former barn built in traditional Alpine style, this renovation project offers investors a fantastic opportunity to create a charming property that will blend modern amenities with traditional architecture. The exterior of the barn blends in perfectly with the surroundings retaining the property’s authenticity and character thanks to local stone cladding. The renovation project promises to offer the opportunity to create a bespoke property that meets the specific needs and preferences of the future owner. The barn's traditional Alpine style will be preserved, while modern amenities including full-length bay windows and cathedral ceilings will be added to create a comfortable and luxurious living space. Set over four floors, the barn features an open-concept layout with 151 sqm of living space comprising a fitted kitchen, lounge and dining room on the second floor plus a spacious family room on a mezzanine level. Entirely customisable, the property will feature between three and five ensuite bedrooms and future owners will also have the option to replace the family room with a master suite on the mezzanine level of the house. Sold with two outdoor parking spots which are 350m away from the house, investors will also have the possibility to create two additional spaces in front of the property at an extra cost. INVESTMENT POTENTIAL A renovation project created by a respected local developer and finished to an extremely high standard, this is an excellent opportunity for an investor looking to purchase a bespoke property in the heart of the French Alps. Just 230m away from the ski slopes, the barn enjoys a prime location in one of the Trois Vallées most charming resorts. Additionally, Saint Martin de Belleville’s popularity as both a ski resort and summer holiday destination make this an attractive investment opportunity for those looking to generate rental income.
