CHAMONIX - A Unique Opportunity to create a Legacy Home

Presenting Ferme des Prés, located in Les Pèlerins, just a few minutes from the centre of Chamonix, this exceptional property comprises a historic farmhouse dating from the early 1700s, set on approximately 4,000 m² of flat land. Offering around 300 m² of existing surface area as well as a traditional, 2-story, mazot, the estate presents a rare opportunity to create a most remarkable private residence. Benefiting from complete privacy and exceptional year-round sunlight, the property enjoys breathtaking 360° views of Mont Blanc, the Aiguille du Midi, Le Brévent and the surrounding peaks. A setting of remarkable quality, combining tranquillity, space and immediate access to all the amenities and attractions of Chamonix. An initial review has already been undertaken with a local architect, confirming the potential to renovate and extend the existing buildings, subject to the necessary permissions. The combination of constructible and agricultural land provides flexibility while preserving the property's unique sense of openness and connection to its natural surroundings. Key features - Historic farmhouse dating from the early 1700s - Approximately 4,000 m² of flat land - Around 300 m² of existing surface area plus a traditional mazot - Potential to renovate and extend, subject to planning permissions - Panoramic 360° views of Mont Blanc, the Aiguille du Midi and Le Brévent Our opinion Properties of this nature rarely come to market. The combination of a substantial landholding, historic character, complete privacy and uninterrupted mountain views creates an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find in Chamonix. While the farmhouse itself offers considerable charm and authenticity, it is the potential of the site that truly stands out. For a buyer looking to create a bespoke family estate or a landmark residence, this property offers the foundations to realise an exceptional vision. A discreet address, a remarkable setting and the opportunity to leave a lasting mark in one of the Alps' most established and desirable destinations. Location Ferme des Prés is located in the “Les Pelerins” area of Chamonix, just under 2km from the town centre. It is a 7-minute walk to the Les Pelerins commercial centre with several shops including a supermarket, bakery and bar/restaurant.

For public transport, there is a bus stop close to the property as well as the Les Pelerins train station 400 metres away (with stops for other bus lines).
