Nestled in the upper reaches of the picturesque village of Giez, this delightful property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy authentic Savoyard charm alongside modern-day convenience. Surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, the house is perfectly placed for those seeking easy access to outdoor pursuits, including skiing, hiking, cycling, golf and watersports on nearby Lake Annecy.
The village school is just 200 metres away, while the bustling town of Faverges, with its shops, restaurants and essential services, can be reached in less than five minutes. Giez is also home to the renowned Golf des Alpes, featuring both 9-hole and 18-hole courses. Annecy is approximately 30 minutes away, the ski resorts of La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand are within a 40-minute drive, and Courchevel and the Three Valleys can be reached in around an hour. Geneva International Airport is also approximately one hour away, while regular bus services connect Giez with Annecy and Albertville.
The property benefits from private parking to the front and a mature garden to the side, planted with mature trees and colourful shrubs. Two balconies, positioned on opposite sides of the house, provide ideal spots to relax and enjoy the scenery throughout the day, whether basking in the sun or taking in the alpine views.
Built into the mountainside, the house is accessed via a stone staircase leading to the raised ground floor and one of the balconies. From here, the entrance leads into a bright, open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area (37 m2). Large picture windows frame the stunning mountain backdrop, while glazed doors lead directly onto the second balcony. A wood-burning stove adds warmth and ambiance, perfect for cosy winter evenings. This level also features a spacious, modern bathroom with a bath, separate shower, washbasin, and washing machine, along with a separate WC.
A wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where a landing gives access to two generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom (16 m2) has been lovingly restored, showcasing original exposed beams that reflect the building’s heritage as a former barn. The second bedroom (11 m2) is cosy chalet-style with traditional wooden panelling and plenty of light from the large velux window. This level also provides access to a loft space above the entrance, offering the potential to create an additional 8 m2 of practical storage or other usage.
A further staircase leads to the converted attic, currently providing a versatile additional room (16 m2 hors loi Carrez) -ideal as guest accommodation, a home office, or creative studio.
On the lower ground floor, a spacious 23 m2 garage and a 21 m2 cellar offer excellent storage for vehicles and equipment. These versatile spaces also present exciting potential for conversion into additional living accommodation or a self-contained studio apartment.
Impeccably maintained, this home offers a rare combination of charm, flexibility, and modern living in an exceptional location. With immediate access to village amenities and the shores of Lake Annecy less than five minutes away, it presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a characterful home in one of the area's most desirable locations.
