Chalet in Dynamic Annecy-Geneva Region, Between Lake & Mountains

Description

This house is where I raised my children — every room, every corner of the garden holds a memory. I renovated it myself, piece by piece, over the years, and it has become a true cocoon, the kind of home you build with your hands and your heart. I'm a landscape gardener by trade — nature isn't just my job, it's who I am. My own garden here is especially precious to me: I've shaped it, planted it, watched it grow through the seasons, and it still deserves a bit of love while I'm away (a professional comes a few times a year for the bigger work, but the day-to-day care matters too). Now that my children are grown and have left home, I'm setting off on a journey of exploration — searching for the next place I'll call home, whether that turns out to be a new region of France or somewhere else in the world entirely. So here's what matters most to me in the people who'll live here: kindness and respect, first and foremost. People who notice beautiful things — a well-tended garden, morning light through the windows, the smell of the wood stove in winter — and who'll treat this house as their own rather than just a place to pass through. I'd love for this house to feel lived-in and loved again — the sound of a family filling these rooms the way mine once did would mean a great deal to me. But more than any specific profile, what I'm really looking for is people I feel genuinely good about — careful, warm, grounded people who love nature as much as I do. If that sounds like you, I'd be happy to have a conversation, check references, and find the right fit together. I care as much about who moves in as I do about the practical details — this house deserves people who'll love it back.
