This is a great “ lock up and leave” 3-bedroom house built in the year 2000. and it would make an ideal family home in the mountains. It is in an excellent decorative state and well looked after so there would be very little to do; move in and away you go. The current owners are a lovely French family who have to move for work reasons—a shame for them but a great opportunity for someone else. With all of Bourg St Maurice on the doorstep, including the lovely indoor/outdoor swimming pool facility only a couple of minutes walk away and with 107 sq. m of habitable space, double garage, external parking, balcony, wood burner, underfloor heating and electric radiators this is a nice house.
The living accommodation is on two levels. A hallway offers plenty of storage space whilst, just off this, there is a separate WC. There is a large open plan living/dining / kitchen area with a balcony off the lounge. The kitchen is a good size and well equipped with a spacious yet cosy lounge and dining area. There is a tiled floor with nice simple décor throughout..
As you move upstairs there is a separate WC just off the landing. The top floor offers 3 double/twin bedrooms and a bathroom with bath, overhead shower and twin sinks.
A great bonus is that downstairs from the hallway you can access the double garage (approx 47sq.m). This has already had one side of it partially developed as a summer playroom for the children. There is space to park two cars outside the house as well so all of this area could be developed if you so wished..
There is plenty of space to store skis, bikes and all the stuff that comes with an active life in the mountains.
A simple, straightforward and convenient house that has a lot going for it .

Bourg Saint Maurice is a bustling market town and the hub that serves most of the Tarentaise. The Eurostar finishes its journey from the UK here, and skiers head off to the local ski resorts which include Val d’Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Rosiere and Sainte Foy de Tarentaise, quite a line-up of world class resorts!. None more than 30minute away. Although there is no skiing at this altitude, Bourg Saint Maurice is conveniently linked to Les Arcs 1600 by the Arc en Ciel (Rainbow) funicular railway. Les Arcs is part of the Paradiski domain, with 425km of slopes.144lifts and 239pistes which lives up to its name as a skier’s paradise. Unlike the other villages that make up les Arcs the town of Bourg Saint Maurice is open all year. The heart of Bourg Saint Maurice is its pedestrian high street. Jam packed with intriguing shops and boutiques it’s a great place to while away an afternoon, particularly suitable if you are a non skier. The town’s many bars and restaurants cater for all tastes from cosy local savoyarde to cool brasserie. Nothing can beat sipping a hot chocolaté or vin chaud in the warm, watching the snowy scene unfold outside…..heaven. Although by no means a large town Bourg Saint Maurice offers all the facilities you would expect and possibly much more. There is a cinema, which obligingly shows the occasional English language film. The indoor/outdoor swimming pool is a hit all year round, particularly in the summer when the soaring temperatures prove too much for local residents. In the winter the local marie even built an open air ice rink in the town centre, which the children loved. On a more practical note Bourg Saint Maurice has a number of large supermarkets, an all year round campsite and excellent schools for all ages. The weekly market on Saturday mornings draws in quite a crowd, the streets are closed and you can buy anything form a tea towel to a chicken! Not only does the town have a large all year round population but it also plays host to many tourists. The local mairie is very proactive, organising many events, throughout the year including hosting a stage of the Tour de France in July 2009. The summer offers lots of opportunities for lovers of the outdoors. There is a white water slalom course on the Isere river used for international canoe and kayak competitions; it’s also used by many European teams as a training course in the summer. The surrounding mountains are good for walking and mountain biking. The funicular and some of les Arcs ski lifts operate during July and August to get the walkers to the higher peaks, you can even take your mountain bile on the chairlift. Horse riding is another popular activity, as is quad biking. If that’s not enough and you have a spare moment you could always try a spot of summer glacier skiing in nearby Tignes. Phew! Bourg Saint Maurice is an action packed town.
