Here you have the rare opportunity to acquire a real rarity! The barn was built about 100 years ago and has been in the family ever since.
Here you have an opportunity to acquire a rarity. The stable was built for the purpose of storing dry hay and animal feed, but never used as a shelter for livestock. The owners have always taken care to keep the roof tight and impervious to external weather. Thus the old wood has never been damaged on the inside. On the outside, too, the wood is absolutely well preserved and gives the building a truly historic and distinctive character due to the different burnt wood sides. The “Petit Ritz” has a 28 sq. m. large garden, which could be converted into a spacious sitting area. That’s all you need for a second home. The floor plan of the “Petit Ritz” is 36 sq. m. The front with the main entrance has a height (floor to roof ridge) of about 650 centimetres, the rear is about 280 centimetres high (slope). This makes it possible to extend this bijou to two storeys and achieve a comfortable living space of 65 to 70 sqm.
The highlight is not only the location, but the permission to convert this bijous interior into 4+ areas.
The interior fittings are, apart from static conditions, largely left to individual taste. External alterations, however, must be closely coordinated with the building authority of the municipality of Goms. As far as possible, lucrative rentals to holiday guests are also guaranteed. Such rental properties are not only in high demand during the peak tourist season in winter, but also in summer and autumn.
The location
The “Petit Ritz” is only a few minutes walk from the idyllic village centre of Blitzingen. In winter, it is only an 8-10 minute walk to the cross-country ski trail in Blitzingen-Bodmen. In summer, instead of the cross-country ski run, there is a kilometre-long hiking trail that takes you along the Rhone (Rotten) for kilometres to Oberwald or far beyond Ernen. Absolute tranquillity awaits you on your small estate. In the immediate vicinity are old stables, some of which have already been beautifully converted. Nothing disturbs your peace here and the surroundings are a treat for the eye. Historic buildings, flowering meadows, a great view of the Weisshorn. No traffic noise will disturb your peace of mind here.
About Blitzingen
Blitzingen has developed in recent years into a true and sought-after refuge for people who appreciate and consciously seek out nature and the naturalness of the landscape. The municipality of Goms is very keen to run this piece of land in a natural way, avoiding the mistakes of other places, without neglecting the thoroughly commercial side of tourism.
Nevertheless, from Blitzingen you can be in Brig in just under 20 minutes. Here you will find a beautiful old town with the Stockalper Castle, which invites you to stroll and shop. Zermatt or Saas-Fee can also be reached in a pleasant day trip. Riederalp and Bettmeralp are ideal in summer and winter and in just 15 minutes you can be at the gondola to the Aletsch Arena. Here you can go hiking, alpine skiing or simply enjoy the spectacular view of the Matterhorn over coffee and cake.
