Les 3 Fontaines

This boutique collection of ski properties for sale in Châtel enjoys a fantastic plot 80m from the Linga ski lift and a number of shops, restaurants and amenities can be found close by too.

Key features

The property

Perfectly complementing the local architecture, this boutique development comprises three chalets (one which is detached) and six apartments with traditional facades and sloping roofs. The interiors of the properties will be finished in a contemporary style with Alpine touches. All of the properties are south-east-facing which not only means they are bathed in light, but it also allows them to enjoy spectacular views over the Linga valley. Plus, all of the properties feature a balcony or a terrace and some also have a private garden.

One of the most exciting aspects of these Châtel properties is that they are completely personalisable, allowing the future owners to make their mark on the property. From the number of bedrooms through to the colours and materials used, everything can be customised. All of the apartments also come with at least one parking space.

Investment potential

In order to protect the authenticity of this charming resort, Châtel has a strict PLU in place which heavily restricts new-build properties and the town hall often imposes flexible rental agreements on new-build apartments. Sold without a rental obligation, these brand-new ski apartments and chalets for sale in Châtel are a rare find. With an average of €6,700 per sqm and just a five-minute drive from the village centre, these apartments are very well-priced as properties in the centre can reach as high as €10,000 per sqm.

However, if the future owners do decide to rent out their properties when not in use, providing that certain conditions are met, they will have the option to recuperate the VAT from the property purchase price. Helping our clients save more than €18m in VAT, our Athena Client Relations team can aid investors with this process as well introduce them to trusted rental management agencies from our little black book of contacts.

Location

Just 60km from Geneva airport, Châtel is part of the vast Portes du Soleil ski domain which boasts 650 km of slopes spread across France and Switzerland. Unpretentious and laidback, Châtel retains its rural spirit and is a true year-round resort with plenty to do in the warmer months too, such as fishing and hiking.

Châtel has a mix of qualities which very few resorts can boast, including its proximity to Geneva airport, its unique microclimate that allows for decent snowfall and recent infrastructure improvements. Plus, properties here are more competitively priced than the neighbouring resorts of Morzine and Les Gets.
