European skiers have for years been drawn to the French Alps. Here, success is measured by the ability to combine the intimacy of traditional mountain villages with skiers’ demands for all the facilities of a super ski area. Along the way, previously separate valleys have been linked into one giant attraction, but in a manner that has preserved the authenticity of Alpine living.
With high-end resorts that cater to every taste and skiing ability, this long-established region continues to attract international buyers in search of that perfect second home. Much of the demand for property in the French Alps comes from European and UK buyers but at the upper end of the market, Russian and Middle Eastern investors are also key.
Megève’s infrastructure, activities and year-round appeal draw foreign buyers who also come to take advantage of the low mortgage rates currently available in France, the strong rental market and the security of an investment in an established international market.
The chocolate box resort of Megève sits nestled in the heart of the Southern Alps under the gaze of the magnificent Mont Blanc. Offering understated refinement that has appealed to heavy-duty A-list regulars, the beautiful, traditional Savoyard village has attracted the beau monde since 1924.
Megève takes pride in a sophisticated Old World charm that is known for offering some of the finest facilities available anywhere in this magnificent mountain range. Besides an array of award-winning restaurants, there are designer shops to rival those anywhere else in the world, and even a renowned casino. This is a place where the streets are heated and where the world’s upper crust comes to play. With so much in the way of off-piste facilities, it is often easy to forget that skiing in Megève is first class, with over 400 kilometres of pleasant runs.
Breathtaking vistas, superior architectural aesthetics, modern amenities and luxurious appointments are just a few of the high- lights on offer at this splendid chalet. Designed with timeless architectural beauty, the exclusive abode delivers the epitome of carefree, fine mountain living. Here is an opportunity to buy into a rewarding life- style that is not only luxurious, but turnkey as well.
