A rare find in the Alps, this superbly restored farmhouse which dates from 1781 offers the discerning skier a wonderful homely mountain lodge whilst offering an impressive array of eco credentials to satisfy even the most environmentally conscious amongst us! Over the last four years Eco farm has been totally re-built using the original panelling, locally sourced oak and beautiful Italian limestone whilst some of the furniture, the doors and window frames have all been handmade using reclaimed wood. Located in the village of Les Houches, within a couples of minutes walk to the ski lifts, you are right in the heart of the ‘Pays du Mont Blanc’ with ski in/out possibilities and easy access to all the delights of the Chamonix valley and satellite ski resorts of Courmayeur and Megeve.

From the outset we wanted to create a mountain lodge that expressed the quality and elegance of the original building yet offered something different. Originally the home of the Mayors family, Eco farm (then known as Farm des Vacances!) is featured in several historical Chamonix books and so we didn’t want to alter the interior so we retained and exposed all the roof purlins and rafters and put in huge velux windows to let the daylight flood in. The original wooden panelling has been re used and adorns the walls and we’ve installed under-floor geothermic heating throughout overlaid with solid oak flooring, lovely to walk on in bare feet! The main living and kitchen area is all open-plan offering a wonderful large space to enjoy and admire the views of the valley from the massive picture windows and balcony. All five bedrooms are en- suite and the furnishings are uber chic with a retro rustic theme.
