Martinet du haut

Originally part of a Napoleonic-era inn built in 1820, Le Nid du Martinet is a recently restored loft style property set on the upper two floors of the original building. Discreetly positioned at the end of a quiet country lane in the charming hamlet of La Motte, near the alpine village of Servoz, just at the gateway to the Chamonix valley.

The property benefits from an elevated position set against the majestic backdrop of the Mont Blanc massif and enjoys sweeping panoramic views from its expansive sun terrace, reaching across the dramatic peaks to the alpine meadows and ski slopes of Combloux and Mégève. Rich in character and surrounded by nature, it offers a sense of refuge.

Before being divided into separate apartments, the Martinet was run as a restaurant, welcoming guests into the vaulted former stables to dine on delicious local produce. Today it is a private residence.

The building is currently divided into two properties with a condominium of two co-owners having been created. The upper levels are one unit, and the lower two another. There is the option to purchase the whole building, or one unit individually.

Le Nid du Martinet was entirely rebuilt in 2020 to create an independent contemporary duplex apartment across the upper two floors. It benefits from an independent entrance with storage, covered parking, and private garden.

Spacious entry hall, two bedrooms, shower room, WC, laundry/storage area, designer kitchen with African granite worktops opening onto high ceilinged dining and living room with south-facing balcony and breathtaking views. On the mezzanine is a master bedroom with en-suite shower room and private balcony. Private parking, storage space and garden complete the property.

The property currently comprises seven bedrooms across three self-contained apartments, offering a perfect blend of classic alpine character and modern luxury. The garden level retains original period details, while the middle floor serves as an elegant holiday let. The top floor is a stunning contemporary duplex, rebuilt in 2020 with high ceilings, a designer kitchen and a mezzanine master suite.
