About This Property

Chalet Merlette enjoys an exceptionally rare location: just 50 m from the Les Carroz d'Arâches télécabine, it offers immediate access to the pistes of the Grand Massif ski area, as well as to the village centre and its amenities, just 500 m away.

Built in the 1960s, its exposed stonework and log balustrade give it a character reminiscent of the great timber cabins of the Canadian north. Since its construction, the chalet has benefited from a full, high-quality renovation of the first floor and part of the ground floor, carried out in 2013 by a local contractor in collaboration with an architect, creating a modern and welcoming interior in an authentic mountain spirit.

The chalet is arranged over three levels with a total area of 200 m² (139 m² habitable floor area, 45 m² utility space, and a 15 m² garage), and offers generous sleeping accommodation for family and guests.

On the ground floor, a large entrance hall leads to a bedroom with en-suite shower room and WC (ideal as an au pair suite), a garage housing the laundry, ski lockers and boiler room. As the chalet has a separate carport, the garage could easily be converted into additional living space, such as a spa or wellness area.

The first floor features a modern, fully fitted kitchen, a bright living and dining room with an attractive insert fireplace, and direct access to the covered terrace and the beautiful garden.

On this floor, the sleeping accommodation comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms with wardrobes and a bathroom with WC.

On the top floor there is a mezzanine used as a small sitting room and study, three further bedrooms, and a shower room with WC.

The chalet sits on a generous, flat and attractively planted plot - a feature much sought-after in the resort. Views extend over the majestic Aravis mountain range.

This property offers considerable potential: for extension, allowing the property to grow with your future plans, and for rental income, given its sleeping capacity and outstanding location.

Chalet des Torchets

For Sale 569,000 €
3 Arâches-la-Frasse 165 m²

Chalet des Torchets was built in 1997 on a 900m² plot at the end of a cul-de-sac in a small residential area between Arâches and Les Carroz. The environment is exceptionally quiet, yet it benefits from its proximity to the bus stop for school and ski shuttles, and it's only a 4-minute drive to the centre of Les Carroz. Designed with traditional Savoyard chalet elements while incorporating the style and originality of architect-designed villas, it's safe to say this is a modern chalet that's very pleasant to live in. The ground floor consists of a large double carport attached to the chalet, with a mezzanine that houses a jacuzzi. The entrance hall opens onto a spacious room partially set up as a games and music room. This level also includes a laundry room with a WC. Half a level up, you’ll find a beautiful, bright space of about 50m², the centerpiece of the chalet, with its cathedral ceiling, large bay windows, modern open kitchen, and a suspended fireplace that dominates the room. From this space, you can access the south-east facing terrace and flat garden. On the upper half-level, there are 3 bedrooms, a WC, and a shower room, along with a lovely mezzanine overlooking the living area, which could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom. The vide sanitaire (space under the chalet) is also well-utilized, featuring a beautiful wine cellar and rooms currently used for storage. One of these rooms used to be a gym, which is why there’s also a shower room on this level. The chalet has been equipped with solar panels for the past two years, providing significant energy savings, and it also features an electric car charging station.
