A Unique Five-Bedroom Chalet with an Exceptionally Panoramic View

Property Description

This chalet was built in 1946 and designed by Maurice Novarina, a renowned French architect. It sits on sloping land offering a fabulous south-facing view over the Risse valley and toward Roc d'Enfer. The property has been recently renovated to a high standard while preserving the integrity of the original architect's design.

The ground floor includes an entrance hall opening to the living/dining room with both a fireplace and a wood stove. There are French doors opening onto a beautiful veranda, perfect for dining and enjoying the lovely view. The living room features four bay windows. On this floor there is also an office, a WC, and a kitchen with an internal staircase leading to the pantry and cellar.

The first floor comprises five bedrooms (the three largest have French doors opening onto a balcony) and two modern bathrooms. Above this floor are two newly created attic rooms accessible by a ship's ladder staircase.

At the lowest level, the cellar also has external access and windows for natural light. There is a laundry room and a large pantry. The pellet boiler (installed in 2019) and the wood are stored here.

There is a simple original garage built into the slope beneath the chalet with steps linking the two. There are around 3,800 m2 of land surrounding the chalet, part of which is wooded. The roof and gutters were replaced about 20 years ago. The most recent renovation includes double glazing, insulation, new electrical system, a new septic tank, a 3,000 L water tank, and solar panel installation. Clearing the land to expose the views, extending the parking area, and adding a car shelter are also recent improvements to this fabulous property.

This house could be fully autonomous with the addition of a battery for the solar panels. The surrounding land is non-buildable, so peace and quiet are guaranteed. There are plans for a possible extension, these architect's plans are included in the sale.

This chalet combines a wonderful sense of isolation with proximity to ski resorts (for example, Hirmentaz is a 3-minute drive away, and the Portes du Soleil and Grand Massif are 45 minutes by car). The local villages of Bellevaux and Lullin have all the amenities you need; Thonon-les-Bains and the lakefront are a 25-minute drive, and Geneva Airport is only 55 minutes away.
