Alpe d`Huez, Isère, Rhone Alps, France

This collection of 19 new-build apartments has an enviable location at the foot of the brand-new Alpe Express ski lift that will whisk you up the 'Les Bergers' snow front in three minutes. At the end of the day, you can take a green run back to your doorstep.

Located in le Vieil Alpe, the most authentic and charming part of Alpe d'Huez, these apartments have a great selection of restaurants just steps away as well as a bakery, a butcher and a cheese shop where you can pick up some delicious local produce for meals at home.

The ESF ski school meeting point is four minutes away and ski and bicycle hire shops can be found in the immediate area. The Télécentre is also just 100m away from the properties, this internal bucket lift connects Vieil Alpe to the centre of the resort and the main snow front.

THE PROPERTY

Occupying a superb ski-in ski-out plot, this new-build residence will be constructed in an authentic style with a gabled roof, giving the penthouses charming sloped ceilings, and a façade dressed in a mix of stone, wood and off-white paint.

Set on the first floor of the residence, this cosy one-bedroom apartment is sold fully equipped, marrying contemporary comfort and style with authentic mountain touches such as wood panelling on some of the walls and wooden window frames.

There is plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining thanks to the apartment's open-plan living and dining area which features sliding doors that open onto an 13 sqm private terrace. The apartment's double bedroom also opens onto the terrace and there is an additional sleeping nook which can be used as a flexible space for guests if you decide to rent out your property.

On the ground floor of the residence, you'll find a private gym exclusively available to residents and guests, heated ski lockers for safely stowing away your ski gear and bicycle storage. The apartment is also sold with two parking spaces.


INVESTMENT POTENTIAL

Alpe d'Huez is a high-altitude resort on the rise with a wave of regeneration with new-build properties injecting new life and hotels undergoing renovation meaning that there is strong potential for capital appreciation over the coming years. While these properties are sold without any rental obligation, properties in Alpe d'Huez have strong rental potential as the resort is active throughout the year with a lively winter ski season further enhanced by the Tomorrowland music festival and a great summer season with an annual triathlon and world-class cycling.

As these apartments are new builds, you will benefit from a reduced notary fee of 2-2.5% and will have the opportunity to reclaim the 20% VAT from the purchase price if you decide to rent out your apartment when you are not using it. If this is something of interest, our Athena Client Relations team can help you with this process and we can introduce you to our longstanding rental management partner.
