Charming Guest House 400 M From Lake Annecy

Just 400 metres from the shores of Lake Annecy, this authentic 19th-century guest house offers exceptional potential for a hospitality, tourism or heritage investment project. Ideally located on the edge of the Bauges Regional Natural Park, a UNESCO Global Geopark, the property enjoys a privileged setting renowned for its outstanding natural environment and year-round tourist appeal.

The area is highly sought after for its immediate access to some of the region’s most famous hiking trails, its proximity to the main paragliding landing zone overlooking Lake Annecy, and its ideal location for discovering Annecy and the surrounding area while enjoying the peace and authenticity of a preserved village.

Both the village and the property benefit from heritage and landscape protection. The property is located within an agricultural zone of significant ecological and landscape importance. The building is officially recognised as protected architectural and landscape heritage for its cultural, historical, architectural and ecological value, with the historic village centre preserved under French planning regulations.

Built in 1825, the property originally served as an outbuilding to the village farm before becoming a hotel and restaurant and later a successful guest house. It has retained all the charm and authenticity of its history, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a character property in one of the most desirable locations around Lake Annecy.

The property stands on two land parcels, one of which is dedicated to parking, providing approximately 20 parking spaces. The total land area is 1,305 m². The three-storey building offers approximately 450 m² of living space and is connected to the public sewer system.

The current layout includes seven guest rooms, two independent studios and a private one-bedroom apartment (T2). In addition, the attic offers approximately 100 m² of further conversion potential, creating excellent opportunities to expand the business or develop additional accommodation.

A mature, shaded garden enhances the peaceful atmosphere and contributes to the unique charm of the property.

The property would benefit from refurbishment to fully reveal its potential. Interior decoration should be updated, and the existing gas heating system could be replaced with a more energy-efficient solution, such as geothermal heating, which represents an attractive option for future development.

This is a property for buyers who appreciate historic buildings, possess experience in real estate or hospitality, and have the vision to restore and enhance an exceptional place full of character. More than a real estate acquisition, this is an opportunity to continue the story of a remarkable property in one of the most beautiful natural settings in the French Alps.

Market value: EUR 1,126,000.

The property will be transferred free of any occupancy on the day of completion before the notary.

Annual property tax: EUR 3,272.
