La Maison Vue Lac

About this property

La Maison Vue Lac is a delightful holiday home a short walk from the heart of Menthon-Saint-Bernard, where the air is fresh with alpine breezes and lake views frame every moment as you dine al-fresco on the decked terrace.

Designed with outdoor living in mind, the house is surrounded by rustic gardens and a private swimming pool, ideal for lazy afternoons. A series of terraces and balconies extend the living space outdoors, creating intimate spots for breakfast pastries or sunset aperitifs against a spectacular natural backdrop.

Inside, the layout unfolds across split levels, adding a sense of flow and spaciousness to each room. From the welcoming entrance, a short staircase leads to an open-plan lounge with a cosy fireplace and expansive windows that bathe the space in natural light. Reached via open-sided steps, the contemporary kitchen and dining area open directly to the outdoors, where guests can dine overlooking the lake or savour a morning coffee on the paved terrace.

The house comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests across its four inviting bedrooms. There’s a double bedroom and family bathroom downstairs, followed by two further double bedrooms and another family bathroom upstairs. At the very top, a loft-style bedroom is open to the living area below. 

La Maison Vue Lac is just a five-minute stroll to the village of Menthon-Saint-Bernard. Here, you’ll find boulangeries, cafés, a butchers, a well-stocked grocery store and all the essentials for a truly local experience. The lakefront is just a little further by foot offering swimming, summer watersports, boat trips and scenic lakeside walks along the village promenade near Le Palace De Menthon.

Whether you’re gathering with family or seeking mountain-lake solitude, this comfortable home invites you to unwind in style, surrounded by glorious views and close to village life.

La Maison Vue Lac is located in an attractive residential area with lovely lake views from its slightly perched position, a leisurely walk from the charming village of Menthon Saint-Bernard and its lakeside harbour.

Menthon Saint-Bernard (650m) is a picture-perfect Savoyard village close to the eastern shores of Lake Annecy. Cobblestone lanes wind through a characterful setting of traditional stone houses, delightful cafés and shops, all framed by the forested foothills of the Alps. Here you will find everything you need including a boulangerie, butchers, good-sized grocery store as well as a selection of cafes and restaurants.

A further stroll brings you to the inviting lakeside beach (1.7km), a summer favourite for swimming and sunbathing (entry fees usually apply) while the lakeside is also a hub for water sports and boat rentals. From the port, enjoy leisurely summer boat trips across the lake, soaking in the surrounding mountain vistas.

The nearby Château de Menthon-Saint-Bernard (2km), perched dramatically above the village, is a must-visit – this fairy-tale castle offers guided tours and stunning views, with scenic walking trails through the surrounding wooded hills.

Cyclists can follow the renowned Voie Verte du lac d’Annecy, a dedicated greenway leading all the way to Annecy (this part follows the road), ideal for a day of exploration. In the other direction, explore the Réserve Naturelle du Roc de Chère, a protected promontory rich in biodiversity, perfect for hiking and birdwatching. Keen golfers will appreciate the proximity of Golf du Lac d’Annecy, with its manicured greens and Alpine backdrops.

For another delightful bike ride, head to the nearby village of Talloires (3km), known for its waterfront beauty and the family-friendly Plage d’Angon (5km). Meanwhile, the enchanting town of Annecy (10km), often dubbed the ‘Venice of the Alps’, is just a short drive/cycle or bus ride away, offering canalside restaurants, vibrant markets, a beautiful lakeside promenade and the captivating old town.
