This chalet was built in 1946 and designed by Maurice Novarina, a renowned French architect. It is situated on sloping land offering fabulous south-facing views down the valley du Risse and towards le Roc d'Enfer. The property has been recently renovated to a high standard whilst keeping the integrity of the original Architect’s design. The ground floor has an entrance hall opening to the living/dining room with both a fire place and a log burner. There are French windows opening onto a wonderful veranda, perfect for dining and capitalising on the beautiful views. The living area has 4 picture windows. Also on this floor there is a study, WC and a kitchen with internal stairs down to the pantry and cellar. The first floor consists of 5 bedrooms (the 3 largest with French windows onto to a balcony) and two modern bathrooms. Above this floor there are two newly created loft rooms accessed via a loft ladder. On the lowest level, the cellar also has external access and has windows for natural light. There is a laundry area and large pantry. The pellet boiler (installed in 2019) and wood is stored here. There is an original single garage which is built into the slope below the chalet with steps joining the two. There is approximately 3800m2 of land around the chalet, some of it wooded. The roof has been recovered and the guttering replaced +/- 20 years ago. The more recent renovation includes double-glazing, insulation, new electrics, new septic tank, water tank of 3000L and the installation of solar panels. Also clearing the land to expose the views, extending the parking area and adding a car port. This property could be completely autonomous with the addition of a battery for the solar panels. The land around it is non-constructible, so peace and quiet will reign. There are plans for a possible expansion, the Architect’s drawings are included in the sale. This chalet combines a wonderful sense of seclusion with proximity to ski resorts (i.e. Hirmentaz 3mins drive, Portes du Soleil & Grand Massif each 45mins drive). The local villages of Bellevaux and Lullin have all the commerces you need, Thonon-les-Bains and the lakeside is 25mins drive and Geneva airport only 55mins.

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. Offering an unusual combination of generous family living and genuine income potential, it would particularly suit buyers looking to create a new life in the mountains whilst retaining the flexibility of an established rental business. The property has been successfully operated as rental accommodation for many years, with substantial private owner’s accommodation completely separate from the guest areas. Its size and configuration would also make it particularly well suited to multi-generational living, offering plenty of space for an extended family whilst still allowing everyone a degree of independence. This expansive property has been meticulously upgraded from top to bottom and combines its original Alpine character with modern comfort. Improvements include double glazing throughout, recently decorated floors and walls, an updated kitchen and bathrooms. MAIN CHALET The main part of the chalet provides extensive accommodation arranged over several levels, with generous communal spaces designed to comfortably accommodate larger groups. 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. It could continue as an established rental business with substantial private accommodation, become an impressive family home, or provide the opportunity for new owners to combine a move to the Alps with an ongoing source of income. For buyers looking for space, independence and the possibility of creating an entirely new lifestyle in the mountains, Christiania represents a genuinely unusual opportunity.
