Situated just a 7 minute walk from the village centre, this 170m2 property was designed by a renowned local architect.
Originally an old farmhouse, it was completely dismantled and then carefully rebuilt, combining authenticity and modernity.
Built on a 600m2 plot, the chalet benefits from direct ski-out access, a rare and sought-after asset, allowing ski-in ski-out from the property.
The chalet is located on a private road serving four chalets, and is the highest, situated at the summit, guaranteeing a total absence of vis-a-vis and offering unobstructed views and a peaceful setting.
The roof was completely redone 3 years ago, with an investment of EUR100,000, guaranteeing its durability and excellent quality.
The property offers great privacy, in an unspoilt mountain setting where you feel truly in the middle of nature, with no visual intrusion. It perfectly embodies the spirit of the mountain family chalet, with its south-western exposure offering plenty of light and unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains.
A games room equipped with a pool table completes the living spaces, offering a convivial place to relax.
For added comfort and accessibility, a wheelchair elevator provides easy access from the garage to the chalet for the elderly or those with reduced mobility.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
