A Spacious 5 Bedroom Chalet, Uniquely Designed in the Distinctive 1960/70s Architectural Style.

Property Description

Rare opportunity at Les Contamines ! Designed by a renowned German architect (a disciple of Franck Lloyd Wright), Chalet Jorat is a unique and original creation, typical of the modern architectural movement of the 1960s and 1970s, blending timber features with light and airy spaces in an urban style, and using exposed concrete which is very much back in vogue today.

Although just a short walk from the village centre, the property is situated on the edge of a forest which is part of a nature reserve, where it is not unusual to spot deer and wild boar. The ski bus passes stops at the end of the road, providing easy access to the ski lifts, just 1.5km away.

The building is set on a slope and offers an interesting split-level layout in an unusual U-shape configuration. The spacious interior benefits from high ceilings and large window openings.

The ground floor opens into a large entrance hall with WC, laundry/cloakroom. Three steps lead up to a small apartment comprising a living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen with private access from the exterior.

A wooden parquet staircase up to the first floor arrivees in a large hallway, bathed in natural light. On one side is the open plan kitchen with dining area, large split-level lounge with alcove and feature fireplace. This living space is surrounded with large window openings and balcony access to the terrace.
On the other side of the first floor is a WC with hand basin, large bathroom with spa-bath, vanity unit and WC. There is a study area (which could also be used as a bedroom), plus a spacious bedroom which is sufficiently large to accommodate up to 6 people.

The top floor of the chalet consists of a mezzanine with large windows offering superb mountain views, WC, 2 bedrooms, shower room with double sinks, and a large master bedroom with high ceilings and an en-suite bathroom.

All of the bathrooms have been recently renovated.

The property occupies 1358m2 of mature land with trees and beautiful views of Mont Joly and the ski slopes.

Les Contamines and Saint Gervais provide access to the magnificent Evasion Mont Blanc ski domain, with its 445km of marked pistes. These 2 ski stations also offer a wide range of summer activities and all within easy reach of Geneva airport (1 hour) and Chamonix (25 mins).
