Single house for sale - 3961 St-Jean VS, Rue Du Cougnon 4

Majestic master residence convertible into apartments or studios

This majestic master house, built in 1929, is located on a magnificent grassy and wooded plot of 5119 m2. The views are stunning: snow-capped peaks of the Val d'Anniviers, alpine pastures, and centuries-old villages.

The Val d'Anniviers and its 220 km of ski slopes - often described as the most beautiful valley in the Valais Alps, situated between the Matterhorn and Verbier - benefits from the longest ski seasons as well as the best sunshine in the region. In summer, there are 320 km of beautiful hiking trails to explore while admiring peaks over 4000 m, mountain biking trails, high mountain races, paragliding, bungee jumping, via ferrata, swimming pools, wellness centers, and numerous restaurants offering local cuisine.

St-Jean is one of its picturesque villages, exuding the authentic charm of old wooden chalets, barns, and mazots. The slopes of the Grimentz-Zinal area lead directly to St-Jean. A few minutes by car or postal bus is enough to reach one of the valley's resorts: Grimentz-Zinal (with 120 km of slopes reaching 2900 meters and many freeride areas), Saint-Luc-Chandolin (70 km of slopes), and Vercorin (35 km of slopes). Sierre is 20 minutes away and Sion is 30 minutes away.
