Rhone Alps, Haute-Savoie, Le Biot, France

Set in the charming Savoyard village of Le Biot, this detached character farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to own a traditional alpine property with enormous potential for transformation. Situated in the hamlet of les Moulins, this south-facing property combines rustic charm with a peaceful location and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
**Property Overview**
With a footprint of approximately 100m², the house is arranged over two main levels:
*Level -1*: A spacious cellar, ideal for storage or conversion.
*Level 0*: A fitted kitchen with dining area and cosy living space, one double bedroom, two additional windowless bedrooms, and two shower rooms (including one en-suite with separate WC). A summer kitchen/laundry area offers further versatility.
*Level 1*: A large traditional barn space ripe for conversion into additional living accommodation (subject to planning permission).

Sunny wooden balcony and a concrete terrace, perfect for outdoor dining.
Off-street parking for one to two vehicles.
Manageable garden space with panoramic views.
