A large, well-insulated house offering 220 m² of potential, set on a spacious plot of over 5,500 m². Ornacieux 38260

Recognized as a property of notable character, it offers significant living potential, with 220 m² of total space available. It sits on a large 5,565 m² plot and includes several outbuildings: laundry rooms, a hangar, and a shelter.
The current living area is 145 m² and features five spacious bedrooms.
Located just 4 km from La Côte Saint-André (the town associated with Berlioz) in the commune of Ornacieux-Balbins—situated within the Grenoble-Lyon-Chambéry triangle—this property offers the chance to realize your dreams and enjoy an exceptional quality of life. It is less than an hour and a half from the ski slopes of Alpe d’Huez (accessible via Allemond), which cater to all skill levels.
You will enjoy beautiful panoramic views, situated as you are between the Pilat massif and the Alps, with a view of Mont Blanc. Numerous trails start right on your doorstep—suitable for walking, horseback riding, cycling, or quad biking—offering routes with or without elevation changes. The area features a mix of plains, ponds, and forests, and includes the Croix Sainte-Béatrix orientation table and the Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago) pilgrimage route.
We have owned the property for over 22 years and have carried out partial renovations during that time.
The setting is ideal—private, peaceful, and free from any disturbances—offering a rare and high quality of life.
The outlined photo is a bit complex but shows the entire property as it stood before I subdivided it in 2022 and sold off the section that contained the outbuildings.
DESCRIPTION: The property sits on a flat, enclosed, and wooded plot of 5,565 m².
- On the garden level (approx. 108 m²), you will find the kitchen, living room, a huge pantry, a cellar, a shower room, and—most notably—a room awaiting completion, featuring a large picture window and access to both shaded and sunny terraces.
- Upstairs (approx. 112 m²), there are five spacious rooms—suitable as bedrooms or offices—including two that measure 20 m². ...as well as the original bathroom, toilet, and an attic.
- Outbuildings include a 95 m² barn (or livestock shelter), a shed, and a double utility area, providing over 24 m² of additional space. The barn has the capacity to house four garages; one has already been created. The barn roof requires re-tiling.
Recent improvements have been made: the property is easily heated by a 16 kW heat pump installed in 2021. The 300-liter hot water tank is new, and the private drainage system was newly installed in 2023.
The property is located in a protected agricultural zone; your only neighbor will be the one adjoining the house, though the living areas share no common walls.
This house and its outbuildings, set on a large, flat plot of land, are offered at €298,500.
