The New Barn

The New Barn is a rare Savoyard farmhouse, perched above the valley, benefiting from a full south exposure with no overlooking neighbors and approximately 12,296 m² of land. Built in 1823 and renovated between 1997 and 2004 by its current owners, this 226 m² habitable farmhouse is located in a small, little-known mountain hamlet, where altitude, light, and silence shape daily life. A true haven of peace for mountain lovers, just 48 km from Geneva.
The setting offers exceptional and uninterrupted panoramic views of the Giffre valley, from sunrise to sunset.
Spread over three levels, the house combines beautiful volumes with the authentic charm of the old.
Ground floor: west entrance, spacious open kitchen with dining area, east entrance leading to the former farmhouse kitchen now converted into a warm living room with a double-sided closed fireplace opening onto a large living room facing full south, shower room with WC and sauna.
First floor: main bedroom facing full south with balcony, workshop/studio with independent exterior access, dormitory accessible from the studio, as well as two other bedrooms, each with a balcony and mezzanine. The necessary water supply and drainage for the creation of an additional bathroom are already in place, as well as part of the underfloor heating network.
Basement: cellar.
Outside, the land combines meadows and mixed woods and includes several traditional outbuildings, including a wooden mazot located to the southwest, garden spaces, and four parking spaces. A new access road has been created. The access is rural and sometimes steep; a 4x4 vehicle is recommended.
The property benefits from two water sources on site, and connection to the network is easy to achieve. It is equipped with a compliant septic tank, and the electrical installation meets current standards. Heating is provided by electric radiators, with reservations and piping already planned to extend hydraulic underfloor heating in certain parts of the house. Additional insulation has been added, and the frameworks have been treated against wood-eating insects.
This family home has been cherished for many years and has been the scene of countless mountain adventures. It now calls for a new owner ready to undertake renovation work to restore its former glory and bring more comfort and modernity.
We are looking for a true guardian of this unique place, ready to invest time, care, and imagination into this rare gem of alpine heritage. A mountain farmhouse enthusiast eager to preserve and enhance this exceptional refuge.
Aimed at a discerning clientele sensitive to authenticity, this property offers a rare immersion in the heart of the Alps. Dominating its environment from its natural promontory, it enjoys spectacular views and absolute serenity. With beautiful hiking and mountain biking trails directly accessible from the house, this residence is much more than a home: it is a true alpine way of life, designed for those who prioritize the grandeur of nature over the standardized comfort of modern life.
