Chamonix - a Unique Opportunity to Create a Legacy Home

Property Description

Presenting Ferme des Prés, located in Les Pèlerins, just a few minutes from the center of Chamonix, this exceptional property comprises a historic farmhouse dating from the early 1700s, set on approximately 4.000 m² of flat land. Offering around 300 m² of existing surface area as well as a traditional, 2-story, mazot, the estate presents a rare opportunity to create a most remarkable private residence.

Benefiting from complete privacy and exceptional year-round sunlight, the property enjoys breathtaking 360° views of Mont Blanc, the Aiguille du Midi, Le Brévent and the surrounding peaks. A setting of remarkable quality, combining tranquillity, space and immediate access to all the amenities and attractions of Chamonix.

An initial review has already been undertaken with a local architect, confirming the potential to renovate and extend the existing buildings, subject to the necessary permissions. The combination of constructible and agricultural land provides flexibility while preserving the property's unique sense of openness and connection to its natural surroundings.

Our opinion
Properties of this nature rarely come to market. The combination of a substantial landholding, historic character, complete privacy and uninterrupted mountain views creates an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find in Chamonix. While the farmhouse itself offers considerable charm and authenticity, it is the potential of the site that truly stands out.

For a buyer looking to create a bespoke family estate or a landmark residence, this property offers the foundations to realize an exceptional vision. A discreet address, a remarkable setting and the opportunity to leave a lasting mark in one of the Alps' most established and desirable destinations.
