Rhone Alps, Haute-Savoie, Menthon-St-Bernard, France

A40592NT74 - Built in 1899 as part of a traditional Savoyard farmhouse, this beautifully balanced five-bedroom home combines historical charm with recent modernisation, creating a warm and comfortable living environment ideally suited to modern family life or a refined secondary residence.

The 171.74 m² interior (200.05 m² total floor area excluding the annex) is defined by its exceptional flow and large, naturally bright rooms. On the ground floor, a spacious living and dining area opens seamlessly into a generous fitted kitchen — the welcoming heart of the home, perfect for gatherings and relaxed everyday living — complete with a wood burner adding warmth and ambience. Wide openings and well-proportioned spaces give the layout an intuitive, elegant rhythm.

The upper floors offer five comfortable bedrooms, including a bright parent suite, and a charming bedroom with an elevated mezzanine level — an ideal children’s hideaway, reading nook, or creative space accessed directly from the bedroom. Currently used as a home office, this room also provides an excellent setup for remote work or running a small business.

Practicality is equally well considered. The property includes a private garden ideal for outdoor dining or children’s play, a large carport with useful storage, and a 9 m² external annex/cabanon for equipment or seasonal items. Although part of an attached former farmhouse, the home retains a strong sense of privacy thanks to its layout and orientation.

The location is one of its greatest strengths. Set between Talloires and Menthon, the home is just moments from the Roc de Chère forest and the lakeside, offering access to swimming, sailing, paddleboarding, and some of the region’s most beautiful walking trails. The nearby Aravis mountains provide world-class skiing at La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand, while the Mont Blanc and Three Valleys ski areas are also within comfortable reach.

Annecy is a short drive away, and Geneva’s international airport is under an hour, making this an ideal base for both year-round living and effortless international travel.

A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful five-bedroom home in one of Lake Annecy’s most desirable settings — offering charm, space, practicality, and unmatched lifestyle appeal.
