Farm and Barn Van Houcke present a rare home and business opportunity comprising a secluded country residence and a large steel framed barn. The farm and barn are for sale together but not as individual properties.

The original farmhouse has been lovingly restored to a very high standard with exposed stone walls and timber beams on the ground floor.

There is a small entrance lobby that leads to the fully equipped kitchen and downstairs toilet. Running along the back of the farm is the living/dining room with it's cosy open fire. Double doors lead out to the large terrace and barbeque area. Also on this floor, off the living room, a bedroom with en suite shower and a huge sunken spa bath tub.

Upstairs, via the spiral staircase and through the huge landing, are three further bedrooms and a shared bathroom with separate toilet. There is a sauna in the fourth bedroom. The two bedrooms that run along the back of the farmhouse benefit from uninterrupted mountain views.

Outside, the farmhouse has landscaped gardens with a pretty mazot (traditional small outbuilding) which has heating and electricity but no water supply. A mountain stream runs along the border of the whole property, providing fresh water to the gardens.

Across the tree lined driveway from the farmhouse is the massive (500m2) steel framed barn. Inside the barn the current owner runs a private laundry business. Part of the upper floor, whilst originally designed as office space, has been converted into a substantial apartment. There is an enormous walk in shower along with a bedroom/office. The living/kitchen area, whilst unfinished at the moment, has been tiled throughout and has a stone based open fireplace.

Also for sale at this location, and shown on a separate page of this web site (under Chalet Van Houcke), is a second traditional alpine chalet.
Both properties are just a stone's throw from Araches and only 5 minutes by car from the centre of Les Carroz in the Grand Massif.
