Skiing and winter sports are now so popular that many UK enthusiasts in particular, relish the chance to buy their own affordable pad in the mountains, especially if it’s right on the French slopes of Mont Blanc. So a little later in 2008 keep a close eye on www.my-french-house.com because it will be announcing completion of the high quality Résidence Le Monte Bianco refurbishment in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains.
This is an extremely popular village in the Haute Savoie department, less than an hour by fast road from Geneva airport. It means that in just over three hours from leaving the UK you could be on your balcony sipping a hot toddy whilst soaking up the outstanding vista of Mont Blanc and contemplating a few lively black runs.
And when the snow has left the piste, Saint-Gervais-les-Bains remains very popular with people on walking holidays who want to soak up the staggering views as well as the refreshing mountain air.
There will be 71 apartments with living accommodation varying in size from 19 to 74sqm for sale at around €4 850 per sqm, providing a great investment opportunity with an annual rental yield of 4.5%. Half of them will be available on a leaseback scheme and the other half on a light leaseback scheme.
You will find that the Résidence Le Monte Bianco is only 400m from the cable car and even closer to the shops. It will include exceptional facilities such as a covered, heated swimming pool, a sauna and fitness room, children’s games area, ample ski storage, sun bathing terraces and a cosy bar with an open fire.
What more could you want and so relatively close to home!
