Beautiful village property, stunning views, close to skiing. 5 bedrooms and two self contained apartments.
This is a rare and wonderful property which holds charm and comfort in a fantastic alpine setting.
Sitting on the edge of the pretty village of Saint Martin de la Porte, the property is just a 4 minute walk from the local bar/restaurant and quaint stone paved village centre.
The house has been fully modernised with attention to detail offering a really comfortable setting for a family or large holiday home.
A well maintained garden, with orchard trees and small area of forest provide for great outdoor living.
Large social areas, 5 bedrooms and creative space below the main living area all add to the adaptability of the house and further future possibilities.
2 self contained apartments provide a year round income currently, situated on the top floor and with an independent entrance.
Sitting just above the main village centre the house boasts fantastic views across the valley and up to the mountain tops.
The main body of the house has 160m2 of habitable space and two self contained apartments at 35 and 25m2 on the top floor. Including the appartments the house has 7 bedrooms.
Starting from the ground garden level of the house, the property has 110m2 of space consisting currently of a garage workshop, craft room, wine cellar, linen room and garden preparation room.
The first floor contains the main social space consisting of a large open living room (50m2), with pellet burner and lots of light flowing in. From the living room you have direct access to the glazed veranda that looks out across the valley and has a wonderful large dining and relaxing area. This captures sun much of the day. The adjoining modern kitchen has a breakfast bar and storage again with plenty of light flowing in. The first and master bedroom (20m2) is also situated on this floor with ensuite shower room and walk in wardrobe.
Moving up a floor 4 more bedrooms can be found, again each with fantastic views to the outside and plenty of room plus storage for all the family or guests. A large shower room and separate toilet, along with an office complete this floor.
Accessed from an exterior staircase two self contained apartments (35m2 and 25m2) have been created on the upper floor each with independent water meters and each with a storage room. Again both with plenty of light and great views to the outside.
The out door garden area has been tentatively looked after with numerous flowers and a productive veg patch. Fruit trees have been preserved too. A lower deck area is prepped for a 5 m circular swimming pool if desired.
The house is connected to main drains, has a wood pellet and oil burner heating system. The property has been granted Class D for its energy performance which is excellent for a modernised property at this altitude. Double glazed windows with electric shutters and fly screens add the well thought out practicality of this property..
Saint Martin de la Porte has a lovely feel to the village with a dominant church and town hall in the centre, which has been charmingly renovated with local stone. A bar restaurant within a short walk provide a social hub for all.
The village has a school of modest rural size. Within 10 minutes you have access to local shops and supermarkets and colleges. Saint jean de maurienne is just 15 minutes away with all major amenities required for modern living.
The Maurienne vallee and Saint Martin de la Porte are well connected by all transport networks, rail and road with easy access all year round. The vallee provides numerous activities, incredible alpine landscape and access to stunning alpine scenery. For winter sports enthusiasts there is plenty of skiing to be had within 15 to 30 mins of the house. Access via Orelle to the 3 vallees in just 15 minutes. Valloire in 30 minutes and the Sybelles ski area in 35 minutes to name but a few.
The village is only 20 mins from the Frejus tunnel to Italy meaning you can be on the Italian coast in about 2.5 hrs... A real gem of a property!
