I can honestly say, this is one of the most peaceful, beautiful and sunny spots in all the valley. I know, as I have not hesitated to make this location my home. Properties in this hamlet are highly desirable and after visiting, buyers will understand why. The elevated position of this chalet is an absolute winner!

Use map searchProperty Description
A 3 bedroom chalet nestled in a quiet hamlet between St Gervais and Les Contamines with uninterrupted panoramas.
This well situated property enjoys a dominant position overlooking the hamlet of La Villette and offers views down towards the village of Les Contamines and its ski area. Chalet Fontaine benefits from plenty of light and a south facing balcony and garden from which to enjoy the glaciers and forests that surround it. Like many 3 storey chalets, the living space is on the 1st floor, yet this property offers immediate access to the garden from this level due to the way it is orientated on the land. This makes use of the garden and outside dining an easy proposition. The driveway is tarmac.
The ground floor comprises:-
Entrance hallway with storage cupboards
Garage
Laundry/technical room
The middle floor:-
Open planned lounge, dining and fully fitted kitchen.
The lounge area benefits from French-window access to the balcony and views. It also has a built-in fireplace.
1 bedroom.
Bathroom with bath and sink.
Separate WC
The upper floor:-
2 further good sized bedrooms.
Family bathroom.
Separate WC.
Mezzanine space.
Down one side of the eaves, there is attic space providing easy access to ample storage.
Many walks can be had from the front door of the chalet and the famous Tour du Mont Blanc route passes through the hamlet just nearby. La Villette is just off the main road between St Gervais and Les Contamines so it benefits from easy access yet an alpage feel. It only requires a few minutes' drive to get to either village and the ski lifts. The hamlet has many authentic farm buildings and a lovely little fountain which is always a cause for walkers to stop and admire, and for some to refill bottles. The distant church bells of St Nicholas can be heard and cows are often put out to pasture in the surrounding fields.
