Rhone Alps, Savoie, Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise, France

A48610JIG73 - With 109 m² of habitable living space and 172 m² of total surface area, the property sits within a generous 620 m² plot, with an enclosed garden extending around the house. Mature hedges, trees and shrubs create a wonderfully private setting, giving the property a real sense of seclusion despite its village location.

One of the home’s most appealing features is the connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape. Beautiful mountain views and open countryside can be enjoyed from the garden and from many of the windows, while the agricultural land immediately behind the property ensures an attractive, open outlook. The current owners have created a home that makes the most of its natural surroundings, bringing light, greenery and the Alpine landscape into everyday life.

Inside, the house has a lovely light and airy feel, with a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area providing a welcoming heart to the home. There are four bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate shower room, making it well suited to family life or hosting friends and family.

The lower level offers further practical space, including a double garage and an additional room which could be used as a home office, workshop or storage area, depending on your needs.

Outside, the garden is a real highlight. Enclosed and beautifully sheltered, it offers plenty of space to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the mountain surroundings in privacy. A particularly charming feature is the separate garden office or summer house. Equipped with electricity and lighting, it is currently used by the owners as a peaceful workspace and writing retreat. Overlooking the trees, garden and mountains, it is a lovely additional space with plenty of character.

An ideal base for enjoying the Tarentaise, summer and winter

The location is another considerable advantage. Viclaire is a traditional residential village within Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise, making it exceptionally well placed for exploring the wider Tarentaise Valley.

The Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise ski resort is approximately 10–15 minutes away by car, as is Villaroger, with access to the extensive Paradiski ski area. The renowned resorts of Tignes, Val d’Isère, La Rosière and Les Arcs are also within approximately 25 minutes by car. The Italian border is around 30 minutes away, offering the possibility of exploring Italy in summer and skiing across the border in winter.

For those who enjoy outdoor activities beyond downhill skiing, there is plenty to discover right from the doorstep. Walking and hiking trails start from the village, while a nearby cycle path, which also serves as a cross-country ski trail in winter, can be reached within minutes.

The property is also just a 10-minute drive from Bourg-Saint-Maurice, where you will find a full range of shops, services and amenities, as well as the SNCF railway station, providing convenient connections to the wider region.

The village also even has its own charming bed and breakfast with a bar and restaurant, making it easy to enjoy a meal or an aperitif without having to take the car.

Detached properties with such a generous, private enclosed garden and beautiful mountain outlook are a rare find in this area. Whether you are looking for a welcoming family home in the mountains, a permanent base in the Tarentaise or a private second home from which to enjoy some of the Alps’ best-known resorts, this is a property that ticks all of the boxes.
