luxury house with panoramic view for sale La Bresse, France

GÉRARDMER, LES XETTES Renovated 155 sqm house with views over the ridgeline Set on the heights of Gérardmer, in the residential district of Les Xettes, this 155 sqm house has undergone a complete renovation. It stands above the valley on a sloping, planted plot facing the mountains. The dark timber and zinc extension, grafted onto the original structure, is the defining architectural gesture of the project. Conceived as a living space turned towards the landscape, it opens the house onto the Vosges ridges through wide glazed bays and extends the reception rooms outdoors. The living room is arranged around a wood-burning stove, beneath a stained exposed-beam ceiling that gives the volume its depth. Sliding bays open at ground level onto a generous timber terrace, which unfolds along two sides of the house and overlooks the town, the lake and the massif. A second, more intimate reception room completes the daytime spaces. The contemporary fully fitted kitchen is built around a dark worktop and a dining area open to the living room. On the ground floor, a bedroom and a shower room allow single-level living. The upper floor, reached by an open staircase, serves four bedrooms, a bathroom and a balcony. A triangular bay frames the view over the ridgeline from the landing. The town centre, shops and lakeside activities are a few minutes away. The property suits a primary residence as readily as a mountain retreat, in an established district of Gérardmer. This property is offered for sale by Noémie Bahoff, BARNES Vosges consultant.

The living space is arranged around a closed-hearth fireplace set into a hand-laid natural stone chimney breast: sitting room, dining area seating twelve beneath an antler chandelier, and an open kitchen fitted with a La Cornue range and its bespoke domed hood. Three sliding glass walls create a seamless transition between the living space and the outdoors. The intermediate level comprises two en-suite bedrooms. On the upper floor, two further en-suite bedrooms open onto the ridgelines and the lake through wide windows and a balcony, alongside a children's bedroom fitted with two solid timber bunk beds. Five bedrooms in all, five private shower rooms, and twelve beds, every one of them in a bedroom. The garden level is given over to wellbeing. The sauna, set against a dry-stone wall, opens full-frame onto the forest. A games room, a sixth shower room and a laundry occupy this same level, extended by a sheltered terrace beneath the timber frame housing the hot tub, sun loungers and an outdoor lounge. The specification matches the whole: post-and-beam construction, reclaimed timber and natural stone, exposed roof structure, wide-format joinery, underfloor heating throughout, fibre optic connection and a television in every bedroom.
