Essert-Romand, Rhône 74110

The village of Essert Romand is one of the four pretty villages that sit in the valley just below Morzine and Avoriaz, providing calm alpine locations that are just a few minutes drive from the shops and ski lifts. Popular with year round residents, second home owners and holiday makers, they have a genuine alpine character that makes you feel very in touch with the surrounding forests and mountains. This recently renovated farmhouse sits close to the centre of the village and has been updated to fit perfectly into its environment, with a stone base and wooden beams leading the design. The property has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms in total, but can be split by the closing of one door, creating a lower 4 bed 3 bath apartment with its own living room with kitchen, and the upper main house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The main entrance opens onto a spacious high ceilinged living room that has been laid out to make the most of the mountain views, with modern tiles and kitchen under traditional visible beam work. Above, a large master bedroom and open bathroom occupy the whole of the upper floor. The farmhouse has a large wood decked terrace accessible from the main living room, a gym room, a games room in the basement, a utility room, a cellar, a garage and cover parking space, plus 3 outdoor parking spaces.
