A 5 Bedroom, 5 Bathroom Property with Terrace, Garden, Cellar and Parking, on the Ski Bus Route.

Property Description

Appt l’Abbaye occupies the top two floors of this traditional Savoyard farmhouse, which has been renovated and converted into a total of 4 separate dwellings. The property is entered at garden level, with a spacious lobby ideal for hanging up coats and putting away shoes. Stairs lead up to the first floor, opening out into a landing and leading to the living area.

The living space is open plan, and stretches the full length of the building, from the cosy seating area, past the feature wood burner and on to the dining area with seating for 10, and finishing up with the fully equipped fitted kitchen at the far end. A walk-in pantry is a handy addition for storing extra goodies, or locking away your personal belongings if you are renting the property out. In the winter months, the log burner provides all the fireside ambience you need after a long day on the slopes, and in the summer months, the sunny south-facing balcony is perfect for an evening sundowner.

Completing this floor are two large double bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom, and both with access to a balcony. Up the stairs to the top floor, there are 3 double bedrooms, all of them also en-suite, and all generously proportioned. The bedrooms enjoy plenty of character with exposed beams and sloping ceilings, and all 3 upstairs bedrooms lead off a central mezzanine-type floor set up as an entertainment zone with TV, sofa and bean bags, and a handy extra WC.

Outside, there is a large deck and astro-turfed garden. There is plenty of space for al-fresco dining, summer relaxation, or even the installation of a hot-tub to soothe away the day’s aches and pains whilst taking in the surrounding scenery.

On a practical note, there is ample off-road private parking, and three cellars for the storage of skis, bikes and other sporting goods. Ideal for rentals, you can provide secure storage for your guests, whilst keeping your own personal belongings locked away separately. The ski bus stop is around 100m away, and the village centre an easy walk of around 10 minutes away. Morzine is 10 minutes’ drive away, and Geneva International Airport under 90 minutes.

The property has an established rental history, and can generate a good income whilst you are not enjoying the property yourself. A sound financial investment, as well as a super family holiday home!
