Habiter Un Lieu Singulier Chargé D'histoire

CHARACTER PROPERTY WITH 10 HECTARES IN THE VAL D’ARGENT
RENOVATED BOURGEOIS RESIDENCE IN SAINTE-MARIE-AUX-MINES

At 650 meters altitude, on the edge of the forest above Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, this character property built in 1906 overlooks the landscapes of the Val d’Argent, in the heart of the Vosges massif.
Its half-timbered silhouette, deep roofs, and turret give it an immediately recognizable architecture. Formerly linked to a notable family of the valley, the residence retains traces of this history while being adapted to contemporary living.

Today known as ”La Tourelle,” the property offers nearly 450 m² of living space and combines a main residence with several independent guest areas. This layout is particularly suited for a large family home, a multigenerational residence, or a project for holiday cottages and guest rooms in Alsace.

Surrounding the house, nearly ten hectares of land, including about two hectares of forest, place the estate in an environment of meadows, woods, and Vosgian terrain.

A HOME DESIGNED FOR LIVING AND ENTERTAINING

From the entrance, the volumes and materials recall the history of this early 20th-century house. Old walls, exposed beams, and a vaulted cellar contribute to its identity.
On the ground floor, the kitchen occupies a central position, naturally supporting daily life as well as reception moments. The living room of about 45 m² benefits from large openings onto the Val d’Argent landscapes.
Adjacent to it, a slightly elevated wooden terrace faces the meadows and wooded slopes.

Upstairs, three bedrooms and two bathrooms provide a true private area, separate from the spaces dedicated to hosting.

An independent wing of about 120 m² offers additional space with its own entrances and a terrace of about 50 m² open to the landscape. This independence is a real asset for a tourist activity, holiday cottages, or hosting an extended family.

The apartment accessible via the turret remains one of the most characteristic spaces of the property. This unique circulation highlights the house’s architecture and contributes to the identity of ”La Tourelle.”

The overall layout thus allows private living and hosting activities to coexist without one necessarily encroaching on the other.

NEARLY 10 HECTARES OF MEADOWS AND FOREST

The property occupies a dominant position, in the heart of nature, offering wide views of wooded ridges, meadows, and hamlets of the Val d’Argent.
The estate covers nearly ten adjoining hectares, mainly composed of meadows, with about two hectares of forest. This configuration suits various rural living projects and also holds interest for an equestrian project.

A vegetable garden is already established. A well and several springs, two of which are currently used, complement the resources on the estate.

The outbuildings are another important element of the property. With about 800 m² in total, they include a barn, a shed, a workshop, a cellar, and garages. Three covered parking spaces are also available.

Heating is provided by a wood chip boiler fueled by forest chips, a system particularly consistent with the wooded configuration of the estate.

SAINTE-MARIE-AUX-MINES AND THE VOSGES MASSIF

Located in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, in Haut-Rhin, the property benefits from the natural environment of the Val d’Argent, between Alsace and the Vosges massif.

Forests, meadows, and ridgelines shape the landscape. At 650 meters altitude, the house enjoys a secluded location and a wide, unobstructed view of its surroundings.
The area is suitable for both a primary or secondary residence and a tourism project focused on nature, hiking, and discovering Alsatian and Vosgian heritage.

AGENCY OPINION

La Tourelle combines features that are hard to separate: a character residence of nearly 450 m², about ten hectares of land, nearly 800 m² of outbuildings, and guest spaces already organized independently.

We also note its immediately recognizable architecture, dominant position, and the constant relationship between the house, meadows, and forest.

A property in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines that can maintain its family vocation while allowing the continuation or development of a holiday cottage or guest room business in the heart of the Val d’Argent.
