Charming Village Home with Stunning South-Facing Views
Located in a peaceful hamlet of Saint-Alban-des-Hurtières, this property boasts one of the best views in the area. With full southern exposure, the manageable garden and wooded plot enjoy sunshine all day—an ideal setting for nature lovers.

The house currently includes two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, but with modest investment, it could easily be transformed into a four-bedroom home or include an independent apartment for guests or rental income.

With traditional stone walls and original rural features, the house is full of charm. A bit of renovation will turn it into a warm, characterful home.

Just 35 minutes from ski resorts, the area offers year-round outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling, and swimming in the nearby lake. The village also features a restaurant, local businesses, and a genuine quality of life in the heart of the French Alps.

Charming Village Home with Exceptional Potential
This characterful property currently comprises four main rooms, including two bedrooms located on the top floor, and a spacious kitchen and living room on the upper ground floor. A charming bathroom, complete with a traditional hip bath, and a separate WC complete the current habitable space.

On the lower ground floor, beneath the kitchen and living room, you'll find two generously sized cellar rooms—ideal for use as a laundry area, additional freezer space, or general household storage.

Access to the home is via a quaint stone staircase that leads into a small glazed veranda and through to the main entrance.

To the right of the house is a large, attached barn, formerly used for straw storage. Below the barn sits a garage and the remnants of a stable once used for wintering cattle. The barn structure is in excellent condition, with ideal south-west orientation—perfect for the future addition of bay windows. With its layout, it offers straightforward potential for internal access from the main house, and could be converted into additional living space or even a separate apartment.

The garage and former stable below also offer renovation potential and could be transformed into an independent flat or guest accommodation.

Renovation Opportunity with Solid Foundations
While the property is structurally sound and full of charm, prospective buyers should be ready to invest in some essential upgrades. The septic system requires renovation, and insulation improvements would be necessary for full-time comfort. However, with vision and renovation skills, this home could be transformed into a much larger residence, taking full advantage of its beautiful setting.

Land & Surroundings
The property is sold with two main plots of land: the first surrounds the house, with portions gently sloping into adjacent forest land. The second is a detached plot located approximately 500 metres away, featuring a mix of woodland and pasture.

Location Highlights
Set in the heart of Saint-Alban-des-Hurtières, an active and welcoming village, the home is ideal for both permanent living and holiday getaways. The village offers a small school, community centre, and is just 10 minutes from major transport links, including a train station and large supermarkets.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property's location on the Col du Cucheron, popular with cyclists and recently featured in both the Tour de France Féminin and the Critérium du Dauphiné.

Ski lovers are well served, with nearby resorts including Saint-François-Longchamp, Les Sybelles, and Valloire, as well as access to the renowned 3 Vallées ski area just 35 minutes away.

The Italian border is a mere 40 minutes’ drive, with the Italian Riviera reachable in under three hours.
