Chalet with 7 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, Garage, Carport and Garden at the Foot of the Gondola

Property Description

The Merlette chalet enjoys an exceptionally rare location: just 50 m from the Carroz d'Arâches gondola, it provides immediate access to the Grand Massif slopes as well as the village center and its amenities, only 500 meters away. Built in the 1960s, its exposed stone walls and log-rim railing give it a style reminiscent of wooden cabins in the Canadian Far North. Since its construction, it has benefited from a high-quality full renovation in 2013 of the first floor and part of the ground floor, carried out by a local company in collaboration with an architect, offering a modern and warm setting in an authentic mountain spirit. The chalet spans 3 levels with a total area of 200 m² (139 m² of living space + 45 m² of usable space + 15 m² of garage) and offers numerous sleeping areas to comfortably accommodate family and guests. On the ground floor, a large entrance hall serves a bedroom with an adjoining shower room and toilet (ideal for hosting a live-in nanny, for example), a garage housing the laundry room and ski lockers, and the boiler room. The chalet benefits from a carport, so the garage could easily be transformed into additional living space to accommodate a spa area, for example. The first floor features a modern fully equipped kitchen, a bright living/dining room with a beautiful soapstone fireplace and direct access to the covered terrace and the splendid garden. This floor also includes the sleeping area with 3 bedrooms with wardrobes and a bathroom with toilet. The top floor houses a mezzanine functioning as a small living room and office, 3 bedrooms, and a shower room with toilet. The chalet sits on a large flat, well-treed plot, a highly sought-after feature in the resort. You will enjoy views of the majestic Aravis range. This property offers great potential: - expansion, allowing the property to grow with your future plans. - considerable rental income potential thanks to its capacity and location.
