Approximately 29 years old and around 130 m², the house is defined by a double-height living room lined in cedar, with a wood stove at its centre.
Unlike many houses at this price, the expensive wet areas have already been renewed — kitchen, bathroom, washroom and toilet were renovated in May 2024. A large garden, mountain views and easy road access complete it.
Less about rebuilding a neglected house, and more about improving an already usable mountain home.
