V IRTUAL TOUR - click here On the edge of a small and characteristic Alpine hamlet at an altitude of 1000 meters, tucked away in a 3 hectare gently inclined park area of woods and pastures, an enchanting property made up of a main chalet, two “tree houses” and an outbuilding for storing agricultural equipment. Besides the natural beauty of its location, this property’s unique charm stems from its building material, Western Red Cedar imported directly from Canada and assembled by a crew of Canadian carpenters in this magic corner of the Maritime Alps. The wood comes from trees as old as 300 hundred years and hasn’t been chemically impregnated, it is naturally resistant to wood pests, it diffuses a slight and pleasant smell of resin, it is a perfect heat and noise insulator and it guarantees a high level of comfort both in winter and summer, ensuring the buildings’ high energy efficiency. The master chalet boasts an excellent A4 energy rating, the tree houses are rated A3. The chalet stands on a ground level platform and spreads over two floors. On its ground floor it features a spacious daytime area with a living and a kitchen section with access to a verandah, furthermore a bathroom, a bedroom or study and a utility room. On the first floor a large bedroom and a bathroom. The “houses in the trees” are built of the same wood and are basically stilt houses rising as high as 8 meters above ground and accessed by an external staircase. The habitable area consists of a spacious studio apartment with bath and a terrace. Each housing unit has its own water and electricity connection and is regularly registered in the cadaster as a habitation. A 6 kW solar installation powers the homes’ heating and warm water production. While these are just a few remarks concerning the property’s constructive quality, it is worthwhile to take a closer look at the economic advantages that the property offers to its owners. Thanks to its character and location the holiday rentals can be marketed at a premium with respect to traditional B&B’s, even those in more touristy locations. Considering the size of the land plot and the currently applicable building regulations, additional units could be built, further enhancing the property’s earnings potential. The availability of public financing could make the operation easier to finance. In the immediate proximity of the property there is a range of amenities like a pizzeria, grocery stores, a bike and e-bike rental as well as downhill ski runs.
