Description
MÉLÈZIA, 19th-century barn-stable undergoing complete transformation, 2 apartments on several levels, a Berra Immobilier exclusive Built in the 19th century in the old town of Praz-de-Fort, in the heart of the Val Ferret, these two adjacent barn-stables are listed in the Inventory of Built Heritage of the State of Valais (notes 4+ and 4) and are the subject of a careful rehabilitation. Two PPE apartments with character are being created in a building whose historic timber frame, stone masonry, and original volume are being preserved in their entirety. Project presentation The building, located at 1,150 meters above sea level in the picturesque Val Ferret in the municipality of Orsières, is situated in the Vieux Bourg zone, on a site of regional importance. The transformation of the two barn-stables aims to be coherent and respectful: removal of low-quality elements, conservation of existing openings, addition of glazing in the wooden fillings, and enhancement of the interior partition wall made of historic beams. The historic substance of the 19th century is being preserved - volume, exposed massive timber frame, and stone masonry -, enriched by a resolutely contemporary interior architecture and high-end finishes. Each of the two apartments has its own independent entrance and private outdoor spaces. In direct connection with the village square and on the path of the Tour du Mont-Blanc, the building benefits from a privileged location in the historic center. Construction project starting soon - delivery scheduled for 2028. The entire building can also be acquired in its entirety - information on request.
