Chalet "Chez Louis" is a unique opportunity to purchase a large property in the much sought-after Chavannes area of Les Gets. The chalet has perhaps one of the best views in the entire village, with an uninterrupted panorama of the village of Les Gets, the valley and the surrounding mountains.

The chalet itself is located on a quiet cul-de-sac, just off the Chavannes road. It is very nearly "ski-in, ski-out", with access to the pistes around 150m at the end of the cul-de-sac, and the nearest ski lift, the Folliets chairlift, within walking distance (in ski boots!) approximately 350m away. The chalet is also on the ski bus route, linking the village centre with the top of the Chavannes.

The property is around 35 years old, and is currently divided into 4 small apartments, each measuring around 45m2, which have been rented as individual holiday lets in the past. The interior of these apartments is now thoroughly outdated, and the property needs renovating throughout.

There are a variety of options for any potential purchaser. A simple refurbishment of the interior of each apartment (including bathrooms and kitchens) would bring them up to modern standards, and the apartments would bring in a healthy rental income. Quotes from local tradesmen come in at around €200,000 to refit all 4 apartments. To carry out the refurbishment, there is no need to obtain planning permission, which means work could start almost immediately. However, to create new windows (velux windows in the roof may be a valuable addition), planning permission would need to be obtained.

Alternatively, the chalet could be reconfigured into one family property. Plans have been drawn up to create a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom chalet with open plan living/kitchen/dining, and sauna/games room on the lower ground floor. We are able to offer this option as a package, with a purchase price of €880,000, with all the work included. Again, planning permission would not need to be obtained to carry out the modifications, so long as the exterior remains unchanged. Cosmetic work on the exterior is permitted without need for planning permission, but any alterations or addition of windows/doors would require planning.

There is also a garage and storeroom adjoining the property, and a small, flat garden.
