Samoëns, Rhône 74340

Maison La Cour is proudly poised within a beautifully manicured garden, integral to Samoens village inner landscape. Steeped in local agricultural roots of the past, it was first built at the turn of the 20th century as a working farm which then transformed into the village house that it is today.Set against a backdrop of the Criou mountain, this landmark property comprises a floor area of 213m2 (of which 123m2 is deemed habitable), built over 3 levels plus basement.On the ground floor, you are welcomed into a shared entrance that had previously been set up to accommodate two apartments. Apartment 1 is composed of a kitchen, hallway with wood burner, one small Tv lounge (or a small bedroom), a bedroom and bathroom with toilet.The first floor is composed of a landing area with a staircase leading to the attic, a kitchen (which has been dismantled) now functioning as a living room, two spacious bedrooms plus a bathroom and WC.The attic level, the true bones of the building, has fabulous volume with potential to develop into some very spacious living accommodation. The basement level is composed of a boiler and laundry room, as well as a storeroom.This property, whilst carefully maintained over the years, including its facades and frame, needs a new lease of life to transform it into a comfortable home reflecting living of today. One can envisage an open plan kitchen /living area under the eaves of the attic, 4 ensuite bedrooms and a trendy summer kitchen on the ground floor to embrace the gardens full potential over the summer months.Externally, the enclosed, well cared for garden is utterly delightful, enjoying a stunning view and a generous flat area for kids and animals to run free. The land, measuring 1331m2 sits in a Au zone. Offering potential development opportunities though with obvious urban planning constraints, necessary to ensure respect for the place and our village.There is also an annexed double garage.
