Fontana Sotheby's International Realty - Two chalets in peaceful setting

Description

This magnificent property is located in Champex d’Alesse in a quiet, leafy and secluded setting. Lying at an altitude of 900 metres, the hamlet overlooks the village of Dorénaz, which can be reached by car in under 15 minutes, while the towns of Martigny and St-Maurice are just 20 minutes’ drive away. Accessible year round by a scenic paved road, Champex d’Alesse can also be reached via cable car from Dorénaz.

Two separate chalets with eight and four rooms built over two floors plus a basement level, on a vast 4,714 m² plot. The larger chalet comprises 215 m² of living space, the smaller 80 m². Thanks to its commanding position and south-west aspect, this property enjoys plenty of sunlight throughout the year.

It offers breathtaking panoramic views over the Rhône valley and surrounding mountains from all rooms. This would be an excellent investment for two families or for one looking to offset running costs by renting out one of the chalets. The property could also be used as a bed and breakfast.

Three outdoor parking spaces and a garage complete the property.

This property is ideal for nature lovers looking for a peaceful, rural setting within easy reach of urban life.
