Chalet Christiania is a property of rare scale and character, located in one of the most sought-after and sunny neighbourhoods of Saint-Jean-d’Aulps.

The living areas are spacious and welcoming, with plenty of room for family and guests to gather together, whilst the numerous bedrooms and bathrooms provide the flexibility required for both private and rental use. OWNER’S DUPLEX A real strength of Christiania is the completely separate owner’s accommodation. This provides a generous private home alongside the main chalet and means that new owners could continue to operate the rental element of the property without compromising their own living space. Equally, this independent accommodation could be ideal for extended family, visiting friends or anyone wanting separate living areas within the same property. OUTSIDE SPACE The chalet benefits from a large garden and outdoor areas where guests and family can enjoy the mountain surroundings throughout the year. The property also has useful additional storage and garage space. Chalet Christiania offers a level of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find in the valley.

For buyers looking for space, independence and the possibility of creating an entirely new lifestyle in the mountains, Christiania represents a genuinely unusual opportunity.
