THE PROPERTY

Nestled in the heart of the mountains, this stunning residence perfectly blends with the local architecture. With multiple sloping roofs, natural stone cladding on the ground floor, and wooden balconies, this two-bedroom apartment is set on the second floor of the building and is ideal as a pied à terre in the French Alps.

Step inside and be transported to an alpine wonderland, with parquet flooring, wooden panelling, and exposed beams creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. With an interior area of 82 sqm, the apartment comprises a spacious open-plan living/dining area, a fully-equipped kitchen, two double bedrooms plus a bunk bedroom for flexible sleeping arrangements.

The apartment also boasts a 4.8 sqm south-facing balcony, perfect for sipping coffee and taking in the breathtaking views of the slopes and valley.

Two parking spaces (one covered and one uncovered) and a ski locker are included with each apartment. Don't miss out on the chance to make these luxurious apartments your home away from home in the mountains.


INVESTMENT POTENTIAL

In order to protect the authenticity of this charming resort, Châtel has a strict PLU in place which heavily restricts new-build properties and the town hall often imposes flexible rental agreements on new-build apartments. However, this brand-new ski apartment has no rental obligation - opportunities like this are increasingly scarce.

However, if you do decide to rent out the apartment when not in use, you have the option to reclaim the VAT from the property purchase price. Helping our clients save more than €18m in VAT, our Athena Client Relations team can aid you with this process as well as introduce you to our trusted rental management partner.
