Rhone Alps, Haute-Savoie, Les Carroz-d`Arâches, France

In a resort where the prime piste-side plots have already been taken up by hotels, this well-located ski-in ski-out apartment is a breath of fresh air. Occupying the plot of a former iconic hotel, this ski apartment is right next to the Crêtes Magic Carpet which takes skiers up to the beginners' area where they can ski down to the Kédeuze ski lift. In addition, the heart of the village is just two minutes' walk away, where one can find a variety of restaurants, shops and amenities.


THE PROPERTY
Located on the ground floor of a brand-new development comprising 19 residences, this ski apartment spans 50 sqm and features one bedroom and a further bunk bedroom - perfect for accommodating young children. There is a 17 sqm open-plan living and dining area as well as a south-west-facing 8 sqm terrace. Whilst the building will be brand-new, it will be built in a traditional style that complements the local architecture. The interiors will be finished in an elegant, modern style and the future owner will also have the option to customise finishes. A ski locker, a cellar and covered parking are also included with this property.


INVESTMENT POTENTIAL
Not only is this ski apartment for sale in Les Carroz an excellent lifestyle investment as it is a beautiful and convenient home away from home for enjoying winter and summer holidays in the Grand Massif, but it also represents an interesting buy-to-let investment. Around an hour's drive from Geneva airport, this property is set to perform well on the rental market and statistics show that the number of overnight stays in the Giffre Grand Massif area has been steadily growing over the past three years with 2019 seeing a 2.57% increase - the largest year-on-year rise since 2008. In addition, if the future owner does decide to rent out their ski apartment when not in use, they will have the opportunity to reclaim 20% VAT from the property purchase price. Our experienced in-house team can aid investors with this application as well as introduce them to a trusted rental agency in the French Alps.
