Large house in Savoie between lake and mountains, with friends or family!
Exceptional house with swimming pool, rooftop & panoramic view in the heart of Savoie. Family house with private pool, 1,700 m² of land and rooftop with panoramic views of Chambéry and the mountains. In the heart of Savoie, 10 minutes from Chambéry and its castle, its market and its charms. Surrounded by the 3 most beautiful lakes in France (Bourget, Aiguebelette, Annecy). Trail trails on foot. 3 bedrooms + guest room, 2 bathrooms, up to 10 people. Lyon 1h30, Paris 3h by TGV. Welcome to Vimines / There are houses that can be rented. And there are houses that can be lived. This one is part of the second category. Perched on the heights of Vimines, an authentic Savoyard village nestled between sky and mountain, this exceptional family home welcomes you as if you were at home, because that's exactly what it is: a real family home, inhabited with love, decorated with care, designed to make everyone feel good. You will find tropical plants that happily overflow from their pots, libraries overflowing with books for all ages, golden mirrors, natural materials, wood everywhere, abundant light and that special atmosphere of houses in which life is good. Add to this a private swimming pool, a rooftop with a view of Chambéry, a large plot of 1,700 m², three of the most beautiful lakes in France less than an hour away, and you will understand why this address is unique. Welcome home. The house Architecture & spirit The house stands out at first glance for its hybrid and generous architecture: a contemporary first floor in light rendering, extended by an upper level in wooden cladding, all topped by a rooftop terrace that dominates the Savoyard landscape. Inside, the spaces are spread over several levels, connected by a black metal spiral staircase whose volute stands out against a sumptuous wooden wall: this house has character. The general style happily mixes Savoyard naturalness (wood, stone, plants) and a neat contemporary touch (designer furniture, abstract paintings, industrial lighting). Each room has its own personality, each corner has been thought out. It is a house that tells its story. The house is located on a 1,700 m² plot of land in a quiet and family residential area, with friendly neighbours in a real village spirit. Children can play in complete safety, adults can relax in peace.
The rooftop:Your terrace in the sky This is undoubtedly the most unexpected asset of the house. Go up to the top level, cross each of the 2 bedrooms and let yourself be captivated. The rooftop opens onto a 180° panorama that embraces the city of Chambéry, and the mountains with a view of the cross of the nivolet. A postcard setting, accessible in a few seconds from the rooms. Deckchairs, coffee table, deck chairs, Fermob lamp, everything is there so that you never want to go downstairs. In the morning, a coffee facing the mountains. In the evening, a glass of Savoyard white at sunset. At night, the lights of Chambéry twinkle in the valley. The rooftop is accessible directly from the 2 bedrooms on the upper level, making it a semi-private space.
The pool & garden is the heart of summer The swimming pool is the number one argument of the Savoyard summer. Nestled in the garden, surrounded by vegetation and a wooden beach, it offers crystal clear and fresh water! Small but ideal for cooling off after a hike or a day at the lake. It is equipped with an indoor bench for lounging and relaxing. Around the pool, the large 1,700 m² plot offers a space of freedom, hammock area for naps...
The main terrace is the dining area par excellence. A large table can accommodate the 10 guests. Lights, garlands, jasmine wall.
The rooftop already described above is the space for contemplation, relaxation, aperitif at sunset. Between the two, the garden is the junction.
In short: this house offers you outdoor life, from dawn to night. The lakes are a treasure at your fingertips

And the Saturday market is one of the most beautiful and well-stocked in the region, fruits, vegetables, Savoyard cheeses, charcuterie, honey, flowers. Savoyard gastronomy alone is worth the trip: fondue, raclette, tartiflette, diots in white wine, génépi, Savoy wines (Mondeuse, Jacquère, Roussette)... The restaurants of Chambéry and the surrounding villages compete with each other in terms of know-how.
