On the lower ground floor, the large front door leads into a hallway off which is a wine store and double garage (complete with ski racks and a laundry room off it), whilst in the main premises are a boot room, three spacious bedrooms (the master with ensuite bathroom, plus two further twin rooms), a separate family bathroom for use by the twin bedrooms, and a separate WC.

Up the spiral stone stairs to the ground floor, and you arrive at the open plan living and dining area, complete with rustic log fire, sumptuous lounge furniture and panoramic picture windows, providing outstanding views across the beautiful Rhone valley. Outside is a large terrace complete with luxurious hot tub.

Upstairs once more and the high-ceilinged living room is overlooked by a beautifully appointed mezzanine floor, off which is the fourth bedroom and ensuite shower room.
