Traditional Farm Chalet Renovation Project with Mountain Views, Peaceful Setting, 10 Minutes from Albertville

A rare opportunity to restore a traditional Alpine farm chalet dating from 1812, set in a peaceful mountain hamlet in the commune of Queige, just 10 minutes from Albertville. After more than 200 years in the same family, this characterful property is now ready for a new chapter.

Set on a generous 1,228 m² plot with panoramic mountain views, the property currently offers around 90 m² of habitable space requiring extensive modernisation, together with more than 200 m² of additional space in the former stable, barn and hayloft. Subject to the necessary permissions, there is considerable potential to create a large family home, mountain retreat, gîte or other tourism project, or potentially several separate dwellings.

With Queige village under 10 minutes away, Albertville around 10 minutes by car and several ski resorts within 30 minutes, this is an exciting renovation opportunity in a highly accessible Alpine location.

The Property

A rare opportunity to purchase a piece of Alpine history and restore it to its former glory. This traditional farm chalet was built in 1812 and has remained in the same family for more than 200 years. It is now ready for a new chapter and offers exceptional potential for renovation and development.

The property is located in a peaceful mountain hamlet in the commune of Queige, surrounded by beautiful Alpine scenery, yet is remarkably accessible, being just 10 minutes by car from Albertville and its extensive range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, schools and everyday services.

Set on a generous 1,228 m² plot, the property enjoys mountain views in all directions. There is currently approximately 90 m² of habitable accommodation requiring extensive modernisation, together with more than 200 m² of additional space within the former stable, barn and hayloft.

The existing accommodation currently comprises:

• A large kitchen of more than 20 m² with traditional chimney, historically used to heat the living areas.
• A spacious living room of approximately 30 m².
• A shower room with WC on the ground floor.
• Three separate bedrooms on the first floor, accessed via an external staircase and balcony.
• A 13 m² cellar beneath the living area.
• An additional vaulted cellar of approximately 10 m² on the ground floor.

The traditional character of the building remains evident, with the original agricultural spaces offering significant additional potential.

At the rear of the property, on the lower ground floor, is a huge former stable of more than 70 m². Above this is a large barn of over 90 m², with direct access from the road via the barn doors at the rear of the property. Above the barn is a substantial hayloft extending across the top of the whole building.

Subject to planning permission and other necessary authorisations, these generous volumes offer numerous possibilities. The property could potentially be transformed into a substantial family home, luxury mountain retreat, gîte or bed and breakfast project, or potentially divided into several separate apartments for private use or rental. The final configuration would, of course, be subject to the relevant planning and building regulations.

Outside

The property occupies a generous 1,228 m² plot, with a large lawned area providing plenty of space for outdoor living and the potential to create parking for several vehicles.
