A beautifully presented, well-built chalet in Les Contamines. Chalet Bon Nant is set on its own spacious plot just a few minutes from the lift station and home run of Les Contamines, and close to the centre of the village. It is set back in an elevated position, so benefits from plunging views over to the village, Domes de Miage's glacial peaks and Aiguille de Bionnassay.

Surrounded by just a few typical chalets, in a quiet area, it is not overlooked and benefits from a good location to make the most of the sunshine. Behind, is a forest and much wildlife is spotted throughout the year.

Chalet Bon Nant has been built with the utmost care; It was designed by a local architect and built by artisans. It is well insulated with ecological hemp which has superior insulation, fire-retardant and phonic properties compared to traditional building materials and double glazing throughout. As such the running costs are much lower than other chalets of the same size. It also benefits from copper guttering and a rain water capture system.

The chalet is laid out as follows:

Lower ground floor

Indoor access to the garage, cellar, storage and technical spaces.
Good sized bedroom with built-in wardrobes and ensuite bathroom (shower, sink and WC).
