Chalet le Chant du Torrent is a beautiful chalet, nestled in a very pretty setting in a quiet and sought-after neighbourhood of the village of St Jean d’Aulps. The tranquil setting takes in the views of the surrounding mountains and forests, and the song of the nearby stream is a soothing backdrop to your alpine hideaway.

Built in 2014, the chalet construction is of the highest quality, and it is as attractive as it is solid. The chalet is split over two levels, offering comfortable and stylish accommodation. On the ground floor, the front door opens into an entrance hall, with cloakroom and separate laundry/store room. Leading through to the main living space, the kitchen-dining-living room is fully open-plan, with wood burning stove and sliding doors leading out to the superb garden. The kitchen is modern and stylish, and contrasts beautifully with the natural wood and stone materials used in the construction of the chalet. Also on the ground floor is the indoor swimming pool, a real USP of this property, and an absolute boon for entertaining the children, or for adults looking to unwind after a day on the slopes. Heated (along with the rest of the chalet) by means of a heat pump, the running costs for the pool are extremely low. With a rainwater recovery system as well, the chalet’s green credentials stack up too.

Upstairs, there is a total of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The master bedroom is generously proportioned with an open-plan en-suite. It also has a private balcony with wonderful views, the perfect stop to grab a few quiet moments to yourself and recharge your batteries. The two children’s bedrooms each have a mezzanine sleeping platform (great fun for kids!) and their own private balconies too, one east facing and one west facing. The fourth bedroom is currently set up as an office, but works just as well as a fourth bedroom. The mezzanine landing is very spacious and set up as a playroom for the kids. It would work equally well as an office space, TV den or occasional guest bedroom. The family bathroom has a walk-in shower as well as a large tub.

The outdoor space is one of the highlights of this fabulous property. Sitting on a plot of over 1500m2 of landscaped grounds, and with a wrap-around deck, there is plenty of private space to enjoy the outdoors. Children will have all the space they need to run off their energy and explore in safety, whilst the deck offers the perfect solution for sun worshippers looking to soak up a few rays. You can relax to the sound of running water as with the lawn slopes away to forest and the “Le Jourdil” stream beyond. The garden is unoverlooked at the rear, and the flat, private deck lends itself well to the installation of a hot tub or barrel sauna.

In terms of the practicalities, there is an integral garage as well as a carport and ample parking for several vehicles. The integral garage can easily double up as a boot room and ski store. The property also has a separate garage/workshop of approximately 30m2. Fully insulated and with an electricity supply, this workshop is ideal for waxing your skis, tinkering with your mountain bike, or for keeping your car out of the elements, but is also perfect for conversion into a home office, gym or recreation room.

The chalet is around 10 mins easy walk from the village centre, with the bus stop around 5 minutes’ walk. Morzine is under 10 minutes’ drive away, and Geneva International Airport less than 90 minutes.
