Exceptional Character Property with Development Potential
Located in a quiet residential setting, this remarkable 18th-century property enjoys breathtaking mountain views and an enviable position surrounded by approximately 1,350 m² of mature, tree-filled grounds. Bathed in sunshine throughout the day, the property offers a rare combination of tranquility, privacy, and proximity to the amenities of Briançon.
With approximately 400 m² of existing living space, a 103 m² convertible attic, and five impressive vaulted stone cellars, the property presents an outstanding opportunity for restoration and redevelopment. Rich in authentic architectural features, the building offers the potential to showcase original timber beams, exposed stone walls, and beautifully restored terraced gardens, creating a unique blend of historic character and modern comfort.
Whether envisioned as an exceptional private family residence, a multi-generational home, or a boutique development for resale, the possibilities are extensive. A fully approved building permit is already in place for the creation of three separate apartments, providing a clear framework for investors and developers alike.
Significant preparatory works have already been completed, including deep drainage, structural reinforcement, external insulation, and the installation of four new water meters. These substantial investments have secured the building's foundations and streamlined the path toward future renovation and development.
Properties of this scale, character, and potential are rarely offered to the market. Combining stunning alpine views, historic charm, and considerable development opportunities, this is a truly exceptional project in one of the most attractive areas of the Southern Alps.

This “jewel in the crown” is one of the best kept secrets in the southern alps. Here the high tree line coupled with amazing off piste make it an all-round ski paradise. Unlike many other mountain resorts, The Serre Chevalier Valley is made up of many villages and hamlets as well as the town of Briancon, the highest town in France.
Monetier Les Bains, the highest of the villages ,has a typical alpine atmosphere as well as having the beautiful open air spa baths. Here you can relax after a hard days ski and enjoy the magnificent views of the hanging glacier and snow capped peaks.
Serre Chevalier isn't a purpose built resort and as such is an ideal place to consider having an alpine home with all of the facilities associated with normal living – transport, education and shops. At the same time this amazing resort is only a few kms away from hidden valleys, high mountain pastures and the vast Ecrin national park.
Transport to Serre Chevalier is much easier than before with regular flights to both Grenoble and Turin airports.
