Traditional Alpine Savoyard Farmhouse to Renovate with 11,665 m² of Land on the Plaine Joux Plateau

Property Description

Nestled on the magnificent Plaine Joux plateau, between the villages of Onnion and Bogève, this authentic Savoyard farmhouse benefits from an exceptional setting in the heart of a preserved mountainous environment.

The building is structurally sound and already has a reinforced concrete slab between the ground floor and the first floor. The original framework is in excellent condition and retains a remarkable traditional wooden fireplace, testimony to the property's historical character. The farmhouse currently has neither water nor electricity connections, nor an individual sanitation system, although neighboring properties are connected to these networks.

The property occupies a single plot of 11,665 m² surrounding the farmhouse. Mainly consisting of sloped pasture, the land offers a magnificent sense of space and freedom. From its highest point, it overlooks Mont Blanc. The road linking the two villages runs in front of the building, ensuring year-round access.

Plaine Joux is a protected nature site renowned for the exceptional quality of its environment and its many outdoor activities. In winter, the plateau becomes a vast area dedicated to cross-country skiing. Any renovation project will have to respect the Montagne Law as well as the regulations applicable to traditional mountain chalets.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic Savoyard farm in an exceptional natural setting. Although it requires a substantial renovation project and a careful study of the regulations applicable to mountain and alpage buildings, it offers considerable potential for those wishing to create a unique alpine refuge. The combination of a structurally sound building, more than one hectare of adjoining land, a spectacular environment, and year-round access to outdoor activities makes this a particularly attractive proposition for buyers with vision, patience, and a true passion for Alpine heritage.

The property benefits from easy access to several ski areas. The family slopes of the Brasses Massif are only 8 minutes away, while Hirmentaz is accessible in 20 minutes. The larger Sommand–Praz de Lys ski area is about 30 minutes away, and Les Gets as well as the vast Portes du Soleil domain are accessible in less than 45 minutes. Geneva city centre and its international airport are about 50 minutes by car, while the villages of Onnion and Bogève offer convenient access to everyday shops and services.
