Description
Ferme Verte is a fully renovated chalet which dates back to the 1700s.
The chalet can either be set up as 3 separate dwellings or a connected chalet with a total floor area of 365m2 plus a cellar of 25m2.
The chalet has been fully renovated to a high standard and has retained the ancient timbers whilst creating a modern ‘ECO’ ethic. The heating system is Geothermic with 3km of capture pipes buried in the garden, use of Fermacell board, and 2 x 3000litre water tanks buried for rain water capture.
Conveniently situated less than a few hundred metres from the Bellevue cable-car (one of the two main lifts in les Houches) making it just a short walk for skiing and the summer trails. The restaurants and bars are also a few minutes' walk.
The balcony and terrace of Ferme Verte benefit from wonderful views of the Chaine d’Aravis/Fiz and Clos de Forclaz.
