Our opinion
This is a beautifully renovated property, reflecting considerable care and style. The owners have successfully preserved the 'Maison de Pays' features while updating it to achieve outstanding thermal efficiency, evidenced by an A rating. The extensive plot offers significant potential for either expanding the main house or constructing a separate amenity building, such as a pool house or gym or could simply be kept as a large flat garden to enjoy.

Maison Sapins is situated in Les Praz, a 5-minute drive north-east of the centre of Chamonix, and a short walk to the bus stop and to the village of Les Praz and the golf course.

The nearest skiing is at Flégère, 800 metres from the chalet. There is a bus stop less than 100 metres away, as well as the train station (650 metres), giving access to each of the ski areas in the Valley.

There are a number of restaurants, bars and shops in Les Praz village and the golf course is just a few minutes’ walk away. Chamonix itself is a pleasant 30-minute walk along the river.
