Nestled in Morzine’s sought-after Vallee de la Manche, Chalet Framboise, a semi-detached farm, has been renovated to exceptionally high standards to produce a beautiful stylish home that also offers perfect rental potential. The setting is idyllic, with wonderful mountain views from the balcony and garden, and the interior of the chalet is no less breath-taking, with every care having been taken to create characterful yet elegant living areas.

The chalet entrance opens into a roomy hallway, featuring a Morzine slate floor, with access to the three main bedrooms, and stairs to the living areas above. The three bedrooms on this floor are all spacious, and very charming with many features of the original structure having been brought into relief. And similar attention to detail is clear in the three gorgeous bathrooms, which are each fitted out with impeccable taste, as well as with products of the highest specification. On the practical front, this floor is also home to a handy laundry room, with plenty of room for storage.

The ‘wow’ factor continues on the upper level of the chalet, as the stairs open into a fantastic living area where the exposed beams, the ceiling heights, the wood burning stove and the light from the large windows all combine to create a really sublime living and dining space. A cosy and pretty dining area blends effortlessly with the elegant lounge - plenty of room here for relaxing in front of the fire, or gazing out of the French windows to the mountain views beyond.

Tucked round the corner from the main living area is the modern and stylish kitchen, which also incorporates charming elements of the original building. A vestibule leads through to a guest cloakroom, discreetly tucked out of sight, and also gives access to the integral garage.

A small stairway from the living room leads to the fourth bedroom suite, encompassing a spacious double bedroom with built-in storage, and en-suite bathroom with bath/shower, sink and WC.

To the outside of Chalet Framboise, there is a sunny balcony with a tranquil south-west facing garden with views of the surrounding mountains. In the summertime, the sun sets over Pleney creating spectacular sunset views down the valley. On a practical note, in addition to the useful garage, there is parking space for 2 vehicles, as well as 2 caves and a garden shed.

Although benefiting from the peaceful surroundings of the Vallee de la Manche, the chalet is just a 100m walk from the ski bus stop, so minutes away from the slopes or Morzine’s busy town centre, during the winter and summer seasons. There is easy access to the popular Chemin de Renard walking track which connects Morzine town centre to the head of the valley, along a lovely riverside walk. In good snow conditions, it is also possible to ski to the Nyon lift along this track.

Hard to match Chalet Framboise, either as a luxurious base for family holidays, or as a fantastic rental prospect!
