This Chalet is in an ideal position in the hamlet of Morzine known as Les Nants, a few minutes on foot to the restaurants and shops but in a quiet location on the Pleney slopes. In winter you can ski back to the door, snow conditions allowing. The chalet is located just below an easy piste back to the Pleney cable car. In summer you can walk out through the back garden onto the meadows and into the forests set above Morzine.
The ground floor has been renovated to a high standard. It consists of a newly fitted kitchen, two family bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, a second bathroom with WC, spacious sitting room/dining room, garage and boot room.
Subject to planning permission it would be possible to renovate the large “grange” on the top floor of the chalet into a spacious living area plus two or three further bedrooms and two further bathrooms. The open views from the chalet look across the Morzine valley to the East side, towards Nyon on the south facing side and towards the Pleney slopes on the garden side. The chalet has a sale price of 595,000 Euros.

Built in 1973 this charming, solid chalet has been well maintained and finished to a high standard. It has been running as a successful business for 7 years. Alternatively this property would make a wonderful large family home in a typically Savoyarde village surrounded by beautiful scenery.
The chalet has a large south facing garden with terrace, hot tub and amazing views of the valley and family ski station of La Grande Terche. It is spread out over 3 floors and includes 4 double en-suite rooms and one family room with bathroom, plus living accommodation for the owners. There is also a bright open plan living, dining and kitchen area with real fire and large south facing balcony.
It is only a 5 minute walk to the centre of St Jean d’Aulps and on the ski bus route to Morzine and the Portes du Soleil. This is a great location with a real sense of community all year round including bars, restaurants, shops and school. Your budget can be stretched further here than in the larger commercial resorts which close out of season.
The chalet has a sale price of 799,000 Euros including approximately 1,500 sqm of land.
