Rhone Alps, Savoie, St-Martin-de-Belleville, France

The property is officially set over 106 square meters, although the footprint is actually almost 180sqm - some of the floor space is not counted in the official floor sizing calculation depending on its usage and ceiling height.

Entering into the property from the local stone fabricated steps, you come into a spacious and super practical entrance hall with lots of space for hanging coats and storing shoes etc. There is a small downstairs WC off this area, which is also handy.

This entrance hall leads into the 2 living rooms, one of which has a log-burning stove and collectively they offer lots of comfortable seating, plus the rustic-style kitchen. There is also a garden space to the north end of the property, which can be accessed from the living room - as per the virtual visit.

Climbing the staircase to the first floor brings you initially onto the landing area where there is a washing machine and tumble drier handily concealed in a cupboard.

A study area sits off this landing with a desk and lots of storage for books etc. There is a sofa in this area that could be swapped for a sofa bed to create further sleeping possibilities.

There are 2 large double bedrooms on this floor, one of which has access to the south-facing balcony, which in turn leads to a private decking area which is perfect for setting up deckchairs or could even house a hot tub.

The family bathroom with Italian shower and separate bath complete this level.

The top floor of the property houses a dormitory space, some of which is below 1.8m in height. There is also lots of storage space in this area, offering a number of possibilities.

The property has a clean and spacious cellar area underneath, which houses the boiler and the tank for the boiler.

Just 9km from Moutiers which has Eurostar connections and all other necessary amenities, the hamlet itself is very traditional and also ideally located just 8km from the charming year-round town of St Martin de Belleville. From here during the winter, the gondola lift gives you access to the entire Trois Vallées – the world’s largest linked ski area, with the resorts of Les Menuires/Saint Martin, Val Thorens, Meribel and Courchevel all linked together into 600km of pistes – not to mention the endless off-piste itineraries.

The access to the village is via the less-frequented mountain road and on this road, the village is also the same distance from Moutiers (and can therefore be reached in ~15 minutes in a car).

During the summer months, the village is the perfect base for numerous mountain walks, mountain biking, canyoning and rafting in and around Moutiers and many other mountain activities – or indeed simply for relaxing and enjoying the stunning vistas!
