St-Gervais-les-Bains, Haute-Savoie, Rhone Alps, France

These brand-new properties are set in a calm residential area facing Mont Blanc and just five minutes' drive from the 'Bettex-Arbois' cable car and the foot of the slopes. In the Le Bettex area, you'll find a handful of restaurants, a ski hire shop and a supermarket.

The centre of Saint-Gervais is 10 minutes by car and here you will find an even larger selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Before becoming a hotspot for skiing, Saint-Gervais was well-known for its thermal springs so be sure to make time for some rest and relaxation in one of the town's many spas.

The Property

Ideal for families seeking a ski home, this brand-new project comprises a standalone four-bedroom chalet and a pair of three-bedroom semi-chalets. Taking cues from the local architecture, the chalets feature barn-style facades with white walls, wood cladding, wooden window shutters and sloping roofs.

The individual chalet spans 149 sqm over two floors and comprises a cellar, a large living/dining area with an open kitchen, four bedrooms (one of which has an en-suite bathroom) and a family bathroom. There is also a west-facing balcony on the top floor which can be accessed via two of the bedrooms.

Inside, the chalet will be finished in an elegant contemporary style with a neutral colour scheme and large glass sliding doors to let in plenty of natural light and make the most of the views.

The property is sold with a private garden, a garage with space for one car as well as an additional outdoor parking space.

Investment Potential

As new-build properties, these chalets have lower notary fees of 2-2.5% which is 5-6% lower than the rate applicable to existing properties. What's more, if you decide to rent out your chalet when you are not staying in it, you will have the opportunity to reclaim the 20% VAT from the property purchase price which equates to a saving of up to 183,334? Most of our clients opt to do this and our Athena Client Relations team can assist you with the process.
