Villa in the Alps Gressoney Saint Jean 360m2
EXCLUSIVE LUXURY MOUNTAIN VILLA IN THE ITALIAN ALPS – VALLE D’AOSTA
A unique historic property with its own private bridge, mountain spring, sauna built into the rock, and exceptional investment potential. The asking price after a complete luxury renovation is €550,000. Expected completion: October 2027.
The property for sale is an exceptionally attractive mountain residence located in one of the most beautiful regions of northern Italy – Valle d’Aosta, in the heart of the Italian Alps. This autonomous region is renowned for its stunning alpine scenery, historic towns, majestic mountain ranges, and unique atmosphere, where Italian and French cultures blend together. Valle d’Aosta is officially bilingual, with both Italian and French spoken, and is one of the most sought-after destinations for mountain lovers, skiers, hikers, and those seeking active leisure.
It is in this exceptional setting that a luxury mountain residence is being created, combining the historic character of the original building with modern architecture, high-end amenities, and maximum privacy. The property is currently in its original condition, and a complete renovation is planned for completion in October 2027. It is offered at a price of €550,000 in a fully completed condition, in accordance with the presented visualizations. For buyers who would prefer to implement their own project, there is also the option to purchase the property in its current original condition for €220,000.
One of the most fascinating aspects of this property is its history. It is a former hydroelectric power station, which, thanks to its original technical purpose, offers exceptionally generous interior spaces. As part of the renovation, the former turbine hall will be transformed into an impressive open-plan social area that will form the very heart of the residence. The focal point of this space will be a central circular fireplace surrounded by a large circular seating area, creating a unique setting for evenings spent with family and friends. This area will connect to a luxury kitchen with a large island, a spacious dining area, a relaxation zone, and a billiard table. Everything will be integrated into one harmonious whole, offering the atmosphere of a luxury mountain resort in complete privacy. The ground floor will also include two bathrooms and additional sanitary facilities.
The upper floor of the villa will be dedicated to the private living area. It will offer three generously sized bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The master bedroom will additionally feature a spacious walk-in closet. The upper floor will also include two outdoor terraces, providing a pleasant place for morning coffee, relaxation, and enjoying the surrounding mountain scenery. The overall layout will therefore offer three bedrooms, five bathrooms, and an exceptionally spacious social area, representing an ideal combination of privacy and comfort for family living as well as luxury holiday use.
The total living area of the property is approximately 360 m², while the plot measures 1,000 m². However, the uniqueness of the residence lies not only in its size and architectural design, but above all in its extraordinary natural surroundings. A private mountain spring rises directly on the property, providing a permanent natural water source. Another exceptional feature is the private bridge over the mountain river, which belongs to the property and serves as its private access road. The arrival across this bridge alone creates the atmosphere of an exceptional mountain estate that stands out significantly from ordinary properties in the area.
The planned renovation will also include a private sauna built directly into the original stone space resembling a cave, located behind the house. This unique wellness area will sensitively combine the original stone architecture with modern sauna equipment, a glass entrance, and pleasant ambient lighting. It will create an exceptionally attractive place to relax after a full day of skiing, mountain hiking, or simply to unwind in the privacy of one’s own residence.
The entire property will be completed to a high standard, with an emphasis on quality materials, precise workmanship, modern technology, and timeless design. The aim of the renovation is to create a truly prestigious mountain villa that preserves its historic character while offering all the comforts of modern luxury living. The combination of a former hydroelectric power station, private bridge, private mountain spring, rock-built sauna, and generous interiors represents an exceptionally unusual concept that is difficult to compare with standard mountain properties in the area.
The property’s strategic location is another major advantage. The sought-after mountain area of Gressoney-Saint-Jean, offering access to skiing and hiking activities, is approximately a 30-minute drive away. Turin International Airport is approximately 60 minutes away by car, while Milan Malpensa Airport is approximately 90 minutes away. The property therefore offers a combination of privacy, a peaceful mountain setting, and convenient access to international transportation. The exact location will be disclosed to serious prospective buyers during individual discussions.
The property represents not only an exceptionally attractive private residence, but also an interesting investment opportunity in the luxury short-term rental market. The Valle d’Aosta mountain region offers tourism potential throughout the year, both during the winter months thanks to skiing and winter sports, and in summer thanks to mountain hiking, cycling, and the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The property also has potential for wellness retreats, romantic weekends, and family holidays outside the main tourist seasons.
According to a preliminary financial model, the expected average short-term rental rate is approximately €700 per night, with a target annual occupancy of 180 nights. If these figures are achieved, annual gross rental income would amount to approximately €126,000, corresponding to approximately 22.9% of the purchase price before deducting operating costs, commissions, taxes, and other expenses. This is an indicative investment projection and not a guaranteed return.
The winter season from December to February offers projected rental rates ranging from €650 to €1,100 per night, with expected occupancy of approximately 55–75%. The spring period from March to May is expected to generate rates of €400 to €600 per night, with occupancy of 35–45%. The summer season from June to August represents another significant period, with projected rates of €650 to €1,000 per night and occupancy of 60–80%. The autumn period from September to November offers indicative rates of €350 to €600 per night, with expected occupancy of 35–45%. These figures are estimates based on the planned standard of the property and its tourism potential; actual results will depend on demand, marketing, operational quality, and market conditions.
The ability to combine the winter and summer seasons is precisely what makes mountain properties attractive from an investment perspective. Unlike some purely seaside destinations, tourist demand in the Alps is not concentrated solely into a few summer months. Thanks to the sauna, large social area, private setting, and unique character of the building, this residence may appeal to discerning guests even outside the main season.
For prospective buyers, we also offer the option of a staged payment schedule, allowing the purchase price to be divided into several payments during the renovation process. Upon signing the contract, an initial deposit of €100,000 is payable. This is followed by a payment of €50,000 in January 2027, another payment of €100,000 in March 2027, and €100,000 in June 2027. The final installment of €200,000 is payable upon completion of the property in October 2027, at which time the transfer of ownership to the new owner will also take place before a notary. The total purchase price is therefore €550,000.
This offer represents an opportunity to acquire a truly original property in the Italian Alps, combining historic value, modern luxury, exceptional privacy, and attractive future appreciation potential. This is not an ordinary mountain house or traditional holiday cottage, but a unique project transforming a historic hydroelectric power station into a prestigious mountain estate with its own bridge, mountain spring, private wellness facilities, and generous living spaces.
The asking price for the fully completed luxury residence is €550,000. Alternatively, the property can be purchased in its original condition for €220,000. The expected completion date of the renovation is October 2027.
