Arguably one of the Chamonix Valley's most beautifully renovated barn conversions, done to an impeccable standard by the current owners, and thoughtfully and sympathetically arranged to provide expansive living space for owners wishing to run a chalet business, or indeed owner-occupiers looking for a large volume property with unlimited flexibility to suit any family's needs. With absolutely no expense, nor time spared, this renovation has been lovingly carried out to the highest level over a five year period, and using all the skills of craftsmen, joiners and stonemason's to ensure that the original period details and character of the barn were retained, but that the interior was brought very much into the 21stCentury. Indeed, this was so important to the vendors, that they made every effort to ensure the property had the very best ECO credentials, with high-level cavity/roof insulation and glazing, water-catchment/rain water harvesting, zone-controlled underfloor heating and geo-thermic water heating. This property's thermal efficiency is simply exceptional for a property of this type and period. There are very few properties renovated to such a high standard in the Alps as a whole, let alone the Chamonix Valley, so for an onwer who wants the very best specification, style, character and low carbon footprint, this is an absolute 'must see'.
