Situated 10 mins from Bozel, a lively centre for skiing and mountaineering, this house nestles in a sunny village ideal for those who love the mountains and would enjoy a real slice of French life.
The current owners have completely renovated the lower part of this house starting with a huge lower ground floor which they have converted to storage and parking. On the main floor is a cosy snug based around a wood burning stove with a spacious dining area next to the open plan, fully equipped kitchen.
Then there are two double rooms on with a bathroom and there is also a spate shower room. At the back of the house is a really attractive terrace large enough for dining, and the smaller front terrace is a great place for sitting and socialising with the locals.
On the next floor is in the region of another 75 m2 to renovate and planning permission is in place which take into account a balcony and terrace plus 2 bedrooms and large bathroom.
As it is now it is a superb mountain home with beams and original features, add in the remaining barn conversion and you’d have an exceptional property – but as the downstairs is complete you can do this in your own time.
About 30mins away in various directions you have the ski resorts of the Courchevel Valley, Champagny-en-Vanoise which links into Paradiski and Pralognan-en-Vanoise, a stunning mountain resorts that errs towards mountaineering as opposed to skiing. The there is Brides-les-Bains a thermal spa about 20mins down the road and the town of Moutiers about 25mins where there is a train station with TGV stop.
All in all a great price for a wonderful, authentic slice of mountain life in France.

Bozel is a beautiful town which gets a lot of sunshine all year round. It is predominantly French but there are a few English locals too who tend to be well integrated into the local community, with kids in the school. Bozel thrives in winter and in summer. Just 10 minutes by car from Moutiers (where trains arrive from London, Paris, Lyon...), 10 minutes drive from the ski lifts in Courchevel le Praz, and just 8 minute drive from Champagny/la Plagne, you have the pick of several ski resorts in winter time! Most notably Bozel is also on the free ski bus route to Courchevel.
In summer Bozel attracts many people who come to the area to walk, bike and climb or just relax by the lake and enjoy the French way of life. Bozel has everything you need - shops selling local produce, a butcher, a beautiful church with its unusual spire, beautiful views of the Grand Bec, walks from the doorstep, bars and restuarants. Its a great place to consider buying as you can get a lot more for your money here than you can further up the mountain, although people are now wising up and it is expected prices will start to rise soon.
