Discover this remarkable manor house dating from 1918, offering a spectacular combined total of over 720 m² of living and utility space (477 m² Loi Carrez) across the main residence, spa house and extensive garage areas. This substantial and versatile estate provides an exceptional balance of character, scale and functionality.
The property has been carefully renovated and upgraded to modern standards while preserving its original charm, creating a refined home suited to both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. Set within 5,318 m² of grounds, including pool and tennis court, in the heart of Haute-Savoie, it enjoys panoramic mountain views and immediate access to year-round outdoor pursuits including skiing, hiking, cycling, paragliding and lake activities, while remaining close to Annecy and within easy reach of Geneva.
This exceptional manor house holds a unique position within the village and is widely recognised as one of its landmark properties. Originally built in 1918, it has been thoughtfully renovated during the current ownership, combining high-quality materials with careful preservation of original features to create a home that is both characterful and highly liveable.
The main house is arranged over several levels and offers generous living spaces designed for both comfort and entertaining. The ground floor includes multiple reception areas, with a large principal salon, a separate TV lounge and a spacious kitchen, all opening naturally towards the terraces and gardens and allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The upper floors provide extensive sleeping accommodation, with multiple large bedrooms, most benefiting from their own high-quality ensuite bathrooms, alongside dressing areas and well-considered circulation space. The layout offers both privacy and flexibility, making it particularly well suited to hosting extended family or guests.
On the lower ground floor, the property offers a range of leisure and practical spaces including a cinema room, billiard room, laundry and substantial storage areas, as well as extensive garage space. These additional areas significantly enhance the functionality of the property, particularly for seasonal or group use.
A secondary house, currently referred to as the caretaker’s house, further enhances the estate. Designed as a dedicated space for entertaining, relaxation and wellbeing, it includes a kitchen, gym, sauna and shower facilities for the pool, along with a remarkable open-plan living and dining area on the upper level. This space opens onto a large terrace extending directly towards the pool, creating an exceptional setting for outdoor dining, events and summer living.
Externally, the estate extends across 5,318 m² of grounds and includes a 12.5 x 6 metre swimming pool and a tennis court, both set within a private and natural environment. The setting offers wide-reaching views across the valley towards the surrounding mountain ranges, providing a striking Alpine backdrop throughout the seasons.
Although this historic estate would make a remarkable primary or secondary residence, it has also been successfully operated as a high-end seasonal rental, demonstrating strong demand during peak periods. Its scale, layout and extensive entertaining spaces make it particularly well suited to continued luxury rental use, private events or retreat-style hosting.
Located close to the Aravis ski resorts, Lake Annecy and within easy reach of Geneva, the property offers exceptional year-round appeal, combining accessibility with privacy and a true Alpine lifestyle.

In the Haute-Savoie, between Annecy and the Mont Blanc Massif is the beautiful Massif des Aravis. Tucked away here you’ll find a less well known ski area named after the mountain range. It is very beautiful, interesting and traditional.
It brings together the 4 ski resorts of La Clusaz, Le Grand-Bornand, Manigod et Saint-Jean de Sixt which offer Alpine skiing (downhill)and Nordique skiing alongside a whole host of other activities. There are 220kms of piste across the 4 resorts, 2 snow-parks, 1 half pipe of 130m. There are also 150kms of nordic skiing including the Confins plateau, which is an official site for the World Cup. Plus 26 routes for racket walking (snow shoes). At Le Grand-Bornand you’ll find the GB snow-park which is classed among the five best in France. In addition there are 2 ice rinks and an aqua centre.
Each of the four resorts have charm and retain their traditions with original architecture and a village feel, these are after all villages turned ski resort and not purpose built. There is agriculture in the area which works alongside the ski resorts retaining a very authentic feel and they work hard to preserve the mountain nature of all the resorts.
This is also a hugely popular destination for summer. All four resorts aim themselves firmly at the family market and succeed very well with this, but over the last few years a new trend has developed aimed at the rich and famous who value privacy and peace above glamour and glitz on their ski holiday this is most noticeable at La Clusaz and Grand Bornard who are member of “Top of the French Alps” a group aiming for excellence.
