Escape the frenetic rush of city life with this spectacular 6-bed house perched high above Savièse (St-Germain), with eye-popping views of the nearby mountains to soothe and inspire.
The setting and the landscape is matched by an interior that is high-end and stylish, with living accommodation spread across three floors and 660 sq m of internal space. The heart of the house is the vast open-plan area on the middle floor that has been divided up with design features to create multiple spaces for the occupants and guests.
The fireplace is a stunning addition, making the house feel cosy and welcoming when the weather bites outside, and the dining area currently sits in a superb spot, with patio doors allowing meals to expel out onto the terrace.
There is also an open-plan kitchen, finished to an impeccable standard with all the expected fittings. This is well served in terms of informal eating areas for when guests gather around the chef (as they always seem to do!).
There is yet more space in this open-plan area, with current owners having placed a billiards table in a prime spot to provide yet further options for entertainment.
The first floor is the exclusive area for the master of the house: there is an impressive bedroom suite complete with a private terrace, bathroom and large dressing room.
Four more bedrooms, all boasting the same incredible views, are gathered on the upper ground floor, the majority of which have their own bathroom or luxurious en-suite. As you’d expect from a house of this quality, the bathrooms are divine..
Also to be found on this floor, remarkably, is something of a wellbeing suite that will be irresistible to those within the house, whatever the weather.
Yes, I am referring to a sauna, a Hamman and an indoor pool (plus a guest toilet). It’s a luxurious resort experience in a home.
Dropping down to the lower ground floor, this house keeps giving in terms of accommodation space. There is an office/bedroom with a shower, a guest toilet, a carnotzet with a fireplace and kitchenette. This is a very usable space and could be used to create a separate accommodation (perhaps for older relatives) or extensive work area.
This is also an area for indulgence, with an air-conditioned wine cave to keep your dinner well lubricated, and a games room complete with another billiards table.
To balance out the indulgence, this floor also has a fitness room; you can work off all the wine and cheese perhaps?
There is ample space for garage and outdoor parking within this property’s land (secured behind electric gates and CCTV) and an incredible, heated infinity pool to maximise the views of the Rhône valley and the Valais Alps.
Non-swimmers can still enjoy the views with well-placed, shaded seating areas across the terraces. These are superb spots for al-fresco meals when the weather allows.
The landscaped garden contains a small chalet that will be a pleasure for children to discover and for adults craving peace to hide away from a busy household.
The property lies within the commune of Savièse and overlooks Sion, the capital of the Valais, which is known for it’s cathedral and two castles. It is also within easy hopping distance of the ski resorts, and Sion itself combines an historic old town with newer amenities (such as the country’s largest bus station). Good to know: this is located within one of the most important wine-growing regions. Keep that cellar topped up..
Sion has an airport, which has regular international flights. There is a larger airport at Geneva, around 100km away.
