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

Property Description

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

The building is structurally sound and already has a reinforced concrete slab between the ground floor and the first floor. The original roof structure is in excellent condition and retains a remarkable traditional wooden chimney, testimony to the property's historic character. The farm currently has no water or electricity connections and no individual drainage system, although neighboring properties are connected to these networks.

The property sits on a single parcel of 11,665 m² surrounding the farmhouse. Mainly sloping 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 natural site known for its exceptional environment and numerous outdoor activities. In winter, the plateau becomes a vast area dedicated to cross-country skiing. Any renovation project must comply with the Mountain Law as well as regulations applicable to traditional alpine chalets.

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

The property has 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, and Les Gets as well as the vast Portes du Soleil domain are reachable in under 45 minutes. Geneva city center 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.
