MÉLÈZIA, a 19th-century barn-stable undergoing complete renovation, 2 apartments on several levels, an exclusive listing by Berra Immobilier
Built in the 19th century in the old village of Praz-de-Fort, in the heart of the Val Ferret, these two adjoining barn-stables, listed in the Inventory of Built Heritage of the State of Valais (grades 4+ and 4), are undergoing careful restoration. Two characterful condominiums are being created within the building, whose historic timber frame, stonework, and original volume have been fully preserved.
Project presentation
The building, situated at an altitude of 1,150 meters in the picturesque Val Ferret valley in the commune of Orsières, is located in the Vieux Bourg area, on a site of regional historical significance. The transformation of the two barn-stables is intended to be coherent and respectful: removal of less desirable elements, preservation of existing openings, addition of glazing within the timber infill, and highlighting of the original interior party wall made of timbers. The historical substance of the 19th century is preserved—volume, exposed timber frame, and assembled stone masonry—enriched by a resolutely contemporary interior design and first-rate finishes.
Each of the two accommodations has its own independent entrance and private outdoor space. Directly connected to the village square and right on the Tour du Mont-Blanc hiking trail, the building enjoys a prime location in the heart of the historic village.
Construction starting soon — delivery scheduled for 2028.
The entire building can also be purchased in its entirety — information on request.
Strengths
Distribution and full explanations, list of available lots and plans via file on request.
We are at your complete disposal to provide you with information by telephone or to meet with you by appointment in order to present this authentic project to you in more detail.
