Exceptional Property and Land with Swimming Pool, Nestled in the French Alps at the Entrance to the Chamonix Valley

Property Description

Domaine le Martinet is an exceptional property, originally an Napoleonic-era inn, now fully restored with care, featuring its own water source, a waterwheel, and established gardens. Quietly situated at the end of a peaceful country lane, in the charming hamlet of La Motte, near the alpine village of Servoz, at the entrance to the Chamonix valley.

The property sits on nearly 2,000 m² of land and benefits from a commanding position facing the majestic Mont-Blanc massif, offering superb panoramic views from its expansive sunny terrace extending from the spectacular summits to the alpine meadows and the ski runs of Combloux and Megève. Rich in character and surrounded by nature, it offers a true sense of retreat where history, beauty and serenity meet.

Until recently, Le Martinet operated as a restaurant, welcoming guests in the vaulted former stables to enjoy delicious local produce. Today, it is a private residence.

The property is currently divided into two two-bedroom apartments with separate entrances. It is possible to reunite the two levels to create a single, larger dwelling.

On the garden level, a traditional renovation carefully integrating restored original elements into a contemporary living environment. Maintained to a high standard by the current owners, the latest renovations were completed in 2022.

The apartment comprises: entrance hall, open-plan kitchen/dining room, corridor, bathroom with double basin, toilet, two double bedrooms, vaulted living room, corridor, second entrance, upstairs office/workshop space. Direct access from the kitchen/dining room to a large south-facing terrace.

Outside: meticulously maintained landscaped garden with stream and waterwheel, fish pond, large terrace, stone storage cellar, renovated independent workshop, pool, stone trough, and 5 parking spaces.
