Former Schoolhouse in Martisberg – Historic Alpine Property with Panoramic Views and Development Potential
Set in the peaceful hamlet of Martisberg, part of the municipality of Bettmeralp, this former schoolhouse sits at 1,360 metres above sea level and offers stunning views over the Rhône valley. Built in the 1960s and used as a school until 2008, the building now presents a rare opportunity to convert approx. 167 m² gross floor area into a unique residential or holiday home.
Peaceful Setting with Practical Access
Facing south on a gentle slope, the property enjoys full-day sun and features a spacious forecourt. The plot size is 462 m² and is currently classified under the public-use zoning plan, with possibilities for private redevelopment. Access to the building is excellent, with a public parking space directly nearby. Essential services, including shops, rail connections, post office, and bank, are located in Fiesch or Lax, just a short drive away.
Structure and Usage Potential
Constructed in solid masonry with a tile roof, the building includes former classrooms, ancillary rooms, an attic floor, and a basement level. Current usage areas are:
-
129 m² school space
-
58 m² apartment
Thanks to its structure and layout, it is ideally suited for conversion into a residence, multi-unit family home, holiday chalet or group accommodation. All infrastructure connections are in place.
Solid Value and Opportunity
The building is in age-appropriate but well-maintained condition. With its quiet setting, elevated views and generous layout, this is a character-filled investment property in a peaceful corner of the Alps.
