Megève, Haute-Savoie, Rhone Alps, France

Due to limited land availability and stricter regulations following the new PLU rules in Chamonix, the chalets in Hestia are among the last of their kind. In a region where finding new-build chalets is increasingly difficult, Les Fermes d'Hestia truly stands out.

Located just five minutes from the centre of Megève, this exclusive pair of family chalets offers spacious interiors, private gardens and complete wellness suites. As planning regulations tighten across the Evasion Mont-Blanc area, opportunities like this are rapidly diminishing. The timeless design combined with their unmatched rarity means that once these chalets are gone, they cannot be replaced.

About the location

Located in a peaceful residential area, just a five-minute walk from the centre of Megève via a scenic forest path, Les Fermes d'Hestia occupies a rare elevated plot that offers panoramic views of Le Jaillet.

With no direct road visibility and ample private gardens, it provides a true sense of tranquillity, merely moments away from the heart of the resort. The Mont d'Arbois ski area is only a three-minute drive away, with the possibility of ski-in access when snow conditions permit.

In a market where buildable land in the centre is nearly non-existent, this location represents one of the last opportunities to acquire a spacious new chalet so close to the village.

About the property

This project features two chalets, with the first chalet spanning 425 square metres. It includes six en-suite bedrooms, cathedral ceilings and an expansive open-plan living area that opens onto generous terraces offering breathtaking views of Le Jaillet. The property also boasts a private 667-square-metre plot with a landscaped garden and a traditional mazot.

Designed with a blend of traditional Alpine architecture and contemporary features, the chalets feature standout amenities, including a swimming pool, jacuzzi, hammam, sauna, and cathedral-style living areas with double-height ceilings and expansive windows. Each property sits on a generous private plot - a rarity in the Alps - offering private gardens and even a mazot, which can be adapted into a spa, children's playroom or storage.

Investment Potential

Positioned in a rare elevated setting just minutes from the centre of Megève, these new-build chalets offer a compelling investment opportunity. Properties of this scale and quality are exceptionally scarce, located so close to the village, with access via a scenic forest path or a direct road.

Set on a tiered hillside with no road visibility, each chalet enjoys panoramic views over Le Jaillet and Megève. Priced at ?15,500 per square metre (incl. VAT), this represents strong value given the prime location, generous interior volumes and high-end specifications.

As new-build properties, they benefit from reduced notary fees of just 2% and buyers can reclaim 20% VAT through a rental scheme - a significant financial advantage in a market with consistent demand for luxury second homes. Completion is scheduled for Q2 2027, offering both long-term lifestyle appeal and capital growth potential
