70404JC05 - The Chalet...

This luxury property was built a little over 10 years ago, to a very high specification, and with energy performance in mind. The energy report was the highest it could be accorded when the chalet was completed.
The chalet sits on 3 floors all atop a vast garage which can accommodate 5 cars.
On the first floor is a 'party room' with pool table and access to the massive terrace which is perfect for summer BBQ's. There is a spare bedroom on this floor as well as a room set aside for massage and therapy.
Also on this floor is the heated indoor pool with sauna and showers. Access to the terrace is also direct from the pool area.
The second floor is where the 5 double bedrooms are located. 3 of them have south facing balconies and all have en suite bathrooms. They all have their own under floor thermostat and have sonic insulation.
On the top floor is the huge living room / kitchen dining room. This is 130 m2 and has 3 distinct areas even though it is open plan.
The design is sharp and modern though exposed beams and brushed wood give the room a comfortable alpine feel.
The current owners rent the chalet for 100 % of the winter, and several of the summer weeks too. There is a growing demand in this area for prestigious property as there is little or no land available to construct such chalets close to the pistes.


The Area...

In the very centre of the Serre Chevalier Valley is Villeneuve La Salle. This is the heart of this wonderful ski domain and where one has very easy access to the rest of the ski area as well as Briancon Town.
The village has several lifts in different areas taking skiers up in to the high tree lined ski area. This means that queueing is vary rare, even in peak periods.
The village has a wonderful choice of bars and restaurants as well as a small commercial centre where the Tourist Office and ski schools are located.

Next year the village will host the finish of one of the biggest mountain stages of the Tour de France. This area is world famous for it’s road cycling as it lies right in the middle of the most famous of the mountain passes and gruelling ascents. Some of the 2030 winter Olympics events have been planned to be held in Serre Chevalier and Montgenevre. These events will undoubtedly benefit the lucky owners of prestigious properties like this.

The Valley is just 125 Kms ( 1 hr 25 mins ) from Turin airport and just 40 kms ( 45 minutes ) from Oulx TGV where one can take the high speed train directly to Paris.
