Chalet Ferme 1779, St Martin de Belleville, France

Ferme 1779 is a large freestanding property near the centre of charming St Martin de Belleville. This former old farmhouse offers generous amounts of space (300 square metres total internal area) and lovely far-reaching views down the Belleville valley. Recently enlarged and modernised this chalet now combines old world charm with modern comforts and amenities.

With accommodation spread over three floors, the chalet easily accommodates 10 adults and 5 children thanks to its six bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

The large living room is located in the former barn, and still retains its traditional roof structure. The open plan living room, TV room, dining area and open kitchen are arranged around a central fireplace. The decoration combines local materials such as larch and slate with contemporary materials such as steel and glass to strike a balance between tradition and modernity.

The ground floor, with its vaulted ceilings typical of the old stables, features a wonderful relaxation area with a sauna and a Hammam.

The chalet is in a charming pedestrian street and is just 5 minutes of the village square, with its baroque church, shops and restaurants. It is also within easy access of the ski lift and slopes.
