This pretty 2 bedroom house has been lowered in price and would make an excellent ski base for a family.
Located in a small hamlet , Le Chene, just above the charming village of Landry, this is an ideal “lock up and leave” holiday home. With two bedrooms, cosy lounge and small outdoor terrace it would make a perfect home in the mountains . The village of Landry is only a couple of minutes away by car whilst the ski areas of Peisey-Vallandry, Les Arcs and La Plagne are only a short drive away. A peaceful location well away from the hustle and bustle of the major resorts with world class skiing almost on the doorstep.
The charming tourist town of Bourg St maurice is only 10-15 minutes away by car.
The accommodation is over 3 levels with a cave/cellar, for storage, underneath the kitchen.
Entering the house on the ground floor you are in a cosy kitchen with tiled floor and wooden units. There is sufficient space for a dining table whilst the equipment includes a gas hob and electric oven. A trapdoor opens to reveal wooden stairs down into the cave/cellar.
Walking through the kitchen there is a lobby area ,with a fridge freezer, leading to a separate WC and a spacious bathroom with shower and heated towel rail. The bathroom has been nicely tiled and gives modern convenience in a character house.
Stairs lead from the kitchen up to the lounge and a bedroom on the first floor. The lounge is a nice place to sit and relax with a fireplace and wood-burning stove for those winter evenings. There is a telephone point, NB currently not connected, and the house can get UK TV. The bedroom is a good-sized double bedroom/family room currently with a single bed and a set of bunk beds.
From the lounge another staircase leads up to a further double bedroom., wooden beams and some interesting wood panelling/cupboards make this a lovely room.
The whole feel of this house is cosy and comfortable with tiled floors, terracotta walls and some interesting features.
Outside ,to the rear of the house, there is a small terrace that would be ideal for a table and chairs and the barbecue.

Les Arcs has always been popular with the French and increasingly British clients are enjoying its wide variety of pistes (some 200km.), easily accessed off-piste, mainly traffic free villages and, of course, the amazing Vanoise express cable car link to La Plagne; together the two resorts are known as PARADISKI and offer some 425km. of piste. Les Arcs is made up of four modern resort villages at high altitude with more traditional villages lower down Arc 1600 was the original Arc and is linked to the valley town of Bourg St. Maurice by funicular railway. It is a small-scale village with a friendly, very French, atmosphere. The largest and liveliest village is Arc 1800 itself now subdivided into three sections, Charvet, Villards and Charmettoger. Arc 1800 offers fast access to the high altitude slopes including the Transarc gondola up to the Col du Chal from where you can ski down to Arc2000 and Arc 1950. Arc 2000 is a modern development that ,as the name suggests, is ideally located for some of Les Arcs’ highest and toughest skiing . Arc 1950 is the latest village to be developed. Canadian developers Intrawest have built this in a traditional style offering accommodation standards that are much higher than is usual in French resorts. It has proved a popular development and offers a good choice of accommodation, restaurants and bars and easy access to the slopes. Lower down the mountain there are more traditional villages, which provide a good base for mixed ability groups and families. Plan Peisey and Vallandry are right next-door to each other at an altitude of 1600m. They now find themselves at the heart of Paradiski as the Vanoise Express link to La Plagne operates out of Plan-Peisey. Upgrades to the lifts and installation of several new chairlifts have improved access to the higher altitude slopes. Villaroger (1200m) on the other side of the mountain is a quiet, rustic village with chairlift links up to Arc 2000.
