Châtel, Haute-Savoie, Rhone Alps, France

In the centre of Châtel, this new-build collection brings fifteen residences to one of the village's most sought-after addresses. Conceived by a respected local developer, the scheme combines thoughtful architecture with a south-facing location, a rarity in this setting. Ranging from two to six bedrooms, the homes are designed for owners who value immediate access to lifts, shops and year-round amenities without compromising on space or outlook.

About the Location

Positioned two minutes on foot from the village shops, the address places daily essentials within easy reach. The Super Châtel gondola is a six-minute walk, with a free shuttle stop directly outside, ensuring seamless access across the Portes du Soleil ski area. The Forme d'Ô aquacentre is equally close, offering indoor and outdoor pools, spa facilities and fitness spaces for year-round use.

About the Property
Set over 2 floors, this chic duplex 2-bedroom apartment spans 70 sqm of living space with an open-plan living/dining area plus kitchen on the lower floor and 2 bedrooms on the upper floor. The apartment opens onto a generous south-facing terrace with panoramic views across the valley while the bedrooms open onto a large balcony.

A dedicated children's area with lounge, games & video games, as well as a wellness area with sauna & gym are planned for residents, alongside a fully equipped kitchen, garage, ski locker and cellar in each home.

Investment Potential

With only fifteen residences in the heart of the village, supply remains limited in a location where new-build opportunities are tightly held and will become even more rare with the new PLU being ruled this year. Proximity to the main gondola, aquacentre and shops supports year-round occupancy, while the south-facing orientation and expansive outdoor space respond to clear buyer priorities in Châtel. The range of sizes from two to six bedrooms broadens rental and resale prospects within an established Alpine market.

As new-build properties, the notary fee is reduced to 2-2.5% and you will have the opportunity to reclaim the VAT from the purchase price, saving you 20%.
