A 4 Bedroom, 4 Bathroom Farmhouse Apartment with Large Garden, Mazot, Parking and Cave, on the Ski Slopes.

Property Description

A beautiful, spacious property set in lovely grounds just metres from the slopes, bars and restaurants, this is a property not to be missed!

The farmhouse itself is a beautiful and traditional old Savoyard property, which dates back well over 100 years. It was refurbished in 2012 to create 3 individual dwellings, and was renovated from top to bottom with taste and style, using quality modern materials, whilst preserving much of the original character.

Chalet–Apartment Rufus encompasses the entire ground floor of the property, with 4 double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, a large 30m2 living room with wood-burning stove, and a spacious and modern family kitchen. A handy porch and small laundry room are practical additions. The total floor area measures a very comfortable 120m2. A large stone-walled cellar also forms part of the property. Generously proportioned, this cave of around 20m2 is perfect for ski, bike and sports equipment storage, as well as garden furniture, bbq etc.

The property enjoys a private garden of approx. 600m2, most of which is a sunny, flat, maintained garden, with large terrasse perfect for summer barbecues and relaxation. A traditional Savoyard “mazot” (small barn or outhouse) also sits within the grounds. Traditionally used for storage, this charming mazot is a very much sought-after feature. With an adjoining covered “abri” (shelter), the mazot would be a lovely spot for an al-freso kitchen/dining area, a jacuzzi area with changing room, a children’s “Wendy house”, or simply extra outdoor storage space.

There is parking for several cars, which is shared with the adjoining (upstairs) properties.

The chalet itself is in a peaceful location, but only 150m from the ski lifts and amenities of St Jean d’Aulps ski station (part of the Portes du Soleil skiing domain), meaning once in resort a car is not a necessity. St Jean d’Aulps village, with a wide variety of amenities, is a 2 minute drive away, or accessible by free ski bus. The main Portes du Soleil skiing domain can be accessed from Morzine, a 10 minute drive away. 25 minutes in the opposite direction takes you to the shores of Lake Geneva, and Geneva airport is approximately 75 minutes away.
