This spacious loft renovation offers a rare opportunity to own a home just minutes from the shores of Lake Annecy, while remaining within easy reach of some of the world’s best-known ski resorts.

Located in the sought-after riverside hamlet of Verthier, Doussard, the property combines traditional character with modern comfort in an exceptional mountain setting. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the immediate access to skiing, cycling, hiking, paragliding and a wide range of year-round activities. The centre of Doussard is just 5 minutes away, Annecy can be reached in 30 minutes, and the Aravis ski resorts are all within easy reach. Courchevel and the Three Valleys are approximately one hour away. Regular bus services connect Doussard with Annecy and Albertville, while a school bus stop is located less than 100 metres from the property.

The apartment enjoys a peaceful riverside setting with beautiful mountain views. The sunny balcony provides the perfect space for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining.

Currently, the modern wood-burning stove provides sufficient heating for the entire property, although electrical connections are already in place should a future owner wish to install additional radiators. Two large electric water heaters ensure an ample hot water supply for family living.

Access to the property is via a private staircase from the ground floor, leading to an intermediate landing with a large pantry. Stairs continue to the first floor, where there is a spacious utility room and built-in storage cupboards, before reaching the second floor and the main living accommodation.

A hallway opens into the spacious, light-filled living area, featuring open-plan living, kitchen and dining spaces. Large glass doors open onto the balcony overlooking the river and surrounding mountains, while additional floor-to-ceiling windows in the kitchen flood the space with natural light throughout the day. The kitchen itself is a high-quality new installation, locally crafted and fitted with modern appliances.

The balcony and terrace area extend the living space outdoors and provide an ideal setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The lounge area is warm and inviting during the winter months, centred around the stylish wood-burning stove.

Four additional rooms lead off the hallway and are currently arranged as two small bedrooms, a shower room with dressing area and separate WC, and a small bathroom. These rooms offer excellent potential for reconfiguration, with the possibility of creating larger and more comfortable bedroom accommodation.

The property also benefits from a separate 15 m² garage, large enough to comfortably accommodate a car while still offering storage space for bicycles and outdoor equipment.

Lovingly renovated and well maintained, including the installation of a new roof, this unique property combines charm, practicality and versatile living accommodation. Ideal as either a main residence or a holiday home, it offers a peaceful and picturesque lifestyle close to the lake, mountains and local amenities.
