Character village farmhouse for sale with enclosed garden Haute Savoie

A full renovation is required along with some remodelling and some imagination, but the result could be outstanding.

The sunny private garden is behind the property and is private and quite rare within the village. Its large enough to create a vegetable garden or even extend the property - after obtaining permits.

The building itself has lots of charm and has a character facade, it was once a grain store and the lifting beams are still in place.

The building has recently been lived in, however the property requires extensive work to modernise it and probably re-distribute the spaces to take advantage of its stunning beamed roof and open-up rooms that were once not used as habitation.

This a epic project could create a very large family home, a business or could eventually be divided into several dwellings – depending on planning permission.
