Old Barn To Renovate At The Gates Of Gran Paradiso National Park

In the ancient settlement of Epinel, at the entrance to the Cogne Valley, at an altitude of 1,496 meters, TheAlpineHeritage offers a farmhouse built in 1945 and now classified as a building of historical, cultural, architectural, and environmental value, requiring complete renovation. The property – approximately 450 square meters in size and with three independent entrances – is spread over two levels plus a basement. It is also possible to create a third attic floor and additional rooms.

The ancient barrel-vaulted cellar on the ground floor and the imposing heights of the load-bearing beam of the roof – formerly used as a barn – are the property’s most authentic features. The driveway that runs alongside the building and the property’s large size make it an excellent investment opportunity, both for the conservative renovation of this large property and for the possibility – thanks to three separate entrances – of creating multiple apartments for sale or rent.

The property also features a large and versatile garden: a solarium, a children’s play area, a convivial outdoor space with a barbecue or outdoor kitchen, or the creation of one or more parking spaces.

Epinel is a charming little hamlet still inhabited by valley dwellers and primarily frequented by family tourism. The village is a starting point for hikes suitable for everyone, such as the trail connecting the villages of Epinel and Gimillan, and other more challenging ones like the climb to Colle del Trajo and the Gontier Bivouac. Its location at the gateway to the Gran Paradiso National Park and its proximity to major ski resorts make it an excellent winter and summer destination.

When the project to connect Aosta, the Pila ski resort, and Cogne becomes a reality, the village of Epinel will become a major transportation hub with a significant tourists flow. For now Cogne is one of the most populated valleys in the region of Aosta Valley, offering a wide range of services, making it suitable for tourism, investment, first home or holiday home.
