4 BEDROOM DUPLEX APARTMENT FOR RENOVATION - Apartment Ecole, Les Houches - €441,000


We're pleased to have recently been instructed to offer Ecole, a spacious duplex apartment located on the 1st & 2nd floors of what was originally the village school in Les Houches, now comprising this duplex and 3 studio apartments.

The apartment, which has great character with its exposed original timber beams, offers a spacious open plan living room, four bedrooms and a bathroom. The property is in need of improvement and would make a superb renovation project.

The living room enjoys access onto a large terrace with exceptional views of the Mont Blanc glaciers and the Aiguille du Midi. The property benefits from three exterior parking places and is conveniently located in quiet surroundings, yet only a few minutes from the Prarion ski lifts.

We consider that Ecole would make an excellent refurbishment project. Its location, close to the ski lifts at Les Houches, would make it a good rental investment or, being extremely spacious, it would also be ideal for use as a principal residence .

NEW PROPERTY WITH PLANNING APPROVAL - Chalet Rebecca - €475,000













Chalet Rebecca is an attractive, traditional chalet positioned in the woodland above Les Houches and within a minutes' drive of the centre.

The property benefits from having already been granted a planning approval for the construction of a 35m² split-level extension to provide an additional bedroom and a significantly increased hallway and living area.

The existing chalet has recently been renovated with new electrics and plumbing and the interior tastefully decorated using warm timber finishes combined with a contemporary feel. The main living area is at first floor level, accessed by an external balcony and comprises an open plan lounge/diner with wood-burning stove, a modern kitchen and and a bathroom with bath/shower and separate WC. A staircase leads up from the living area to an office/study on the mezzanine which leads through to a double bedroom.

The garden level comprises two further bedrooms and a bathroom. At present, the garden level and the first floor are independent, but could be linked by the construction of a staircase between the two levels, aside from the extension works. The planning approval allows the eventual creation of a fully connected four bedroom chalet with mezzanine, open plan living room with kitchen and a large single garage.

The property benefits from a garden store in the garden, which is peaceful and private with stunning views of the surrounding peaks and offering parking for several vehicles.  Located a short walk to the centre of Les Houches, it is only a five minutes' drive to Chamonix.

We think Chalet Rebecca offers a fantastic opportunity to a self-builder or an investor interested in implementing works that could significantly increase the value of the property. As a finished 4 bedroom chalet, it would make an ideal main or secondary residence.
