Description
MÉLÈZIA, 19th century barn-stable in full transformation, 2 apartments on several levels, an exclusive Berra Immobilier property
Built in the 19th century in the old village of Praz-de-Fort, in the heart of the Val Ferret, these two granges-écuries (barn-stables) are adjacent to each other and are listed in the Inventory of the built heritage of the canton of Valais (notes 4+ and 4). They are the subject of a careful rehabilitation. Two character-filled condominium apartments are being created in a building whose historic roof structure, stone masonry and original volume are being preserved in their entirety.
Project presentation
The building, located at an altitude of 1,150 meters in the picturesque Val Ferret in the commune of Orsières, is situated in the Vieux Bourg zone, on a site of regional importance. The transformation of the two barns-stables is intended to be coherent and respectful: removal of elements of no value, conservation of existing openings, addition of glazing in the wooden infill panels, enhancement of the interior shared wall with original planking. The historical substance of the 19th century is preserved – volume, exposed massive roof structure and masonry of assembled stones – and enriched by resolutely contemporary interior architecture and first-rate finishes.
Both apartments have their own independent entrance and private outdoor spaces. Directly connected to the village square and right on the Tour du Mont-Blanc trail, the building enjoys a privileged location in the heart of the historic town.
Construction site starting soon – delivery expected 2028.
The entire building can also be acquired in its entirety – information on request.
