Property Description

This old stone house to renovate is full of character and is laid out over three floors plus a cellar. Each floor is approximately 4m x 5.6m and the cave which I can stand in is 3.4x 3.2m. Once renovated it should be possible to achieve about 80m2 of habitable space over the three floors.


There is an old stone fireplace on the first floor; from this floor ancient steps disappear into the cellar below. The next floor up is accessed by old stone steps on the outside of the building and on arrival you can see this floor is a blank canvas. The floor above is under the roof beams which automatically creates a cosy atmosphere and perhaps the gable end could be opened out to bring in the light and views. There is a small outside area and balconies should be fine on planning, and there is no garden to worry about.


The roof is dry and the wood in good condition and it has lots of potential to create a charming mountain village home from which to enjoy the skiing and the mountains.


The village itself is very pretty and is surrounded by mountains, it has a lively community and whilst mostly French locals there are some Brits and other nationalities here. The walking and cycling from this spot is plentiful and beautiful and starts from the roman bridge which crosses the fast flowing mountain river as it rushes to the valley below.


Just a 5 mins drive to the ski resort of St Martin de Belleville with Val Thorens, the highest ski resort in Europe, at the top of the valley is an absolutely outstanding location for skiers and lovers of all things mountains.

Saint Martin de Belleville

Resort Description

Based at 1400m and directly linked into the vast Three Valleys network by an 8 person gondola, St Martin de Belleville offers unlimited, world-class skiing. The village is picture perfect, unspoiled and authentic making St Martin de Belleville the perfect ski resort if you are looking for a taste of authentic France combined with state of the art skiing. Clusters of traditional chalets and original Savoyard farmhouses are dominated by the close mountains with chamois and wild boars roaming free in the surrounding forests. St Martin was voted a “Top Ten Picture Postcard resort” for its pretty, traditional architecture and stunning Alpine scenery, it’s interesting to note that the commune have had the foresight to bury all the electric and phone cabling which means that not only does it have a clean uncluttered look, but you are unlikely to lose power when the snow hits! As an added bonus Val Thorens, officially the highest resort in Europe is situated at the top of the valley offering great skiing from mid-November to mid-May. St Martin also has some of the best and clearest runs in the Three Valleys; with skiing for all levels back down to the village and red run Jerusalem a firm favourite with many, and the confidence inspiring off-piste powder fields have to be experienced to be believed. In the height of summer during July and August the valley is host to walkers, nature lovers and adventure seekers who arrive to enjoy the traditional and less traditional mountain activities along with the colourful mountain meadows and beauty of the contrasting vibrant green against snow capped mountains. It is also a near neighbour to the Vanoise Park, a protected area of outstanding natural beauty. St Martin de Belleville has a lower key nightlife than its glitzy neighbours. Having said that, the valley boasts two Michelin starred restaurants, one being situated three minutes from the village, the other in Val Thorens. St Martin itself has several friendly bars and restaurants which retain a mountain village atmosphere with prices to match. It seems ideal for ski and mountain lovers looking for an authentic atmosphere a little apart from the crowds, and out of season it still has life and enough year round residents to stop it feeling like a ghost town.
