This charming 2-bedroom chalet of 70m2 is situated above the lovely ski resort of Les Houches, and sits alongside the pistes of the world famous Kandahar, the oldest Alpine Men's downhill event. Immaculately presented, the property has stunning views of Mont Blanc and the Chamonix Valley.

Wonderfully placed as a ski-in/ski-out chalet, this property's true magic is in its' potential as a development opportunity. The plot of land allows the new owner to extend the current property or create an entirely new chalet of approximately 280sqm, subject to the usual planning consents.

Building plots in the Chamonix Valley are hard to find, let alone one so perfectly located to get the best out of the valley's skiing, but also the exceptional views to all four sides. Whoever buys this chalet and land will ultimately have a blank canvas from which to build their dream mountain retreat.

And they all combine to create the heart and soul, that is the Chamonxi Valley! If you ski or surf you will enjoy the tremendous variety of terrain that the Chamonix valley has to offer. Gentle family runs through the trees, immaculate cross country pistes, amusing snow parks or mythical glacier descents such as the Grands Montets and the Vallée Blanche (guide recommended).
