Rhone Alps, Haute-Savoie, Le Petit-Bornand-les-Glières, France

A43894NT74 - 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.
