This home has been lovingly renovated from an original farm building, retaining many of its authentic features, including exposed wooden beams and original stonework throughout. A striking tower gives the property its château-style character, and with extensive gardens, a swimming pool and private woodland to explore, it offers a truly unique lifestyle.
Nestled in a peaceful, traffic-free hamlet above Sainte-Marie-de-Cuines, the property enjoys exceptional tranquillity while being just a 5-minute drive from the lively villages of Sainte-Marie-de-Cuines and Saint-Étienne-de-Cuines.
Ideally located for mountain enthusiasts, the property is only 25 minutes from Saint-François-Longchamp, 45 minutes from the expansive Les Sybelles ski area, and 30 minutes from the high-speed Orelle gondola, providing direct access to Val Thorens and the Three Valleys ski area.
The iconic Col du Glandon and Col de la Madeleine, forming part of the stunning mountain backdrop are regular highlights of the Tour de France.
Ground floor
The ground floor offers three characterful reception areas:
• A warm and inviting kitchen/living space (27m2) featuring a new woodburner and two sets of large glass doors opening onto terraces, ideal for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
• An adjoining cosy lounge (20m2) with a traditional working fireplace and direct access to the terrace.
• A striking double height dining room (14m2), accessed via a large stone archway, showcasing original wooden beams and stonework.
A hallway off the dining area, also featuring a woodburner, leads to a light and airy ground floor bedroom (12m2) with glass doors opening onto a rear terrace. This level also includes a bathroom with bath and overhead shower, wash basin, built in storage, heated towel rail and a separate WC.
A traditional wooden staircase leads from the dining area to the first floor.
First Floor
The staircase opens onto a spacious open-plan landing (23m2) with exposed beams, offering flexible use as an office, reading area or additional sleeping space.
Bedroom 2 (9m2) is accessed from the landing and includes a WC and wash basin, along with a glass door opening onto a small private rear balcony.
The landing also provides access to a large balcony (15m2+) with views over the landscaped gardens and surrounding mountains.
Bedroom 1 (17m2), located in the tower, is a standout feature. With windows on three sides, it is filled with natural light and includes a shower and wash basin. A door opens onto the third balcony with spectacular valley and garden views. Above, a glass ceiling reveals the illuminated wooden structure of the tower, creating a truly unique architectural feature.
Additional features
The house benefits from two woodburners, electric radiators throughout, and a modern hot water system. Recent upgrades include improved double glazing and enhanced energy efficiency.
Two traditional stone cellars, accessed externally, provide excellent storage - one in original condition (ideal as a wine cellar) and the other converted into a practical garden kitchen.
Outbuildings
A separate building houses the garage and pool equipment, offering space for a vehicle and storage. A charming stone shelter within the garden serves as an impressive woodstore.
Above the garage is an independent studio, accessed from the upper garden near the pool. This versatile space includes a small fitted kitchen, living/sleeping area and shower room with WC, making it ideal for guests, a home office or rental use. A gravel terrace outside provides a pleasant seating area with views over the garden and pool.
Gardens and Land
The beautifully maintained gardens are arranged across several levels. A stone wall encloses the lower garden with a feature stone staircase connecting it to the upper garden and pool area. The lower section includes access to a pizza oven and charming stone seating area.
The upper garden enjoys excellent summer sun exposure and features fruit and nut trees along with several seating areas thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of the panoramic views. The swimming pool reaches a comfortable 25-26°C in summer and is surrounded by traditional stone terraces and mature planting.
A separate vegetable plot includes mature fruit bushes, a greenhouse, additional parking and water on site.
In addition to the main garden the property also includes several nearby woodland plots, offering a sustainable wood supply and access to many scenic walking routes.
Location
Peacefully located in a hamlet above Sainte-Marie-de Cuines, the property is just 15 minutes from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, providing excellent transport links and amenities. Chambery airport is 45 minutes away while Geneva and Lyon can both be reached in under 2 hours. The Italian border is also just 45 minutes away.
This exceptional property blends modern comfort with authentic alpine character. Whether as a primary residence, holiday home, or rental investment, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy mountain living in a truly distinctive setting.
