Les Carroz, Rhône 74300

Reference: PFYR-T207556. Chalet Merlette enjoys an exceptionally rare location: just 50 m from the Les Carroz d'Arâches gondola, it offers immediate access to the slopes of the Grand Massif ski area, as well as to the village center and its amenities, just 500 m away. Built in the 1960s, its exposed stonework and log balustrade give it a character reminiscent of the great timber cabins of the Canadian north. Since its construction, the chalet has benefited from a full, high-quality renovation of the first floor and part of the ground floor, carried out in 2013 by a local contractor in collaboration with an architect, creating a modern and welcoming interior in an authentic mountain spirit. The chalet is arranged over three levels with a total area of 200 m² (139 m² habitable floor area, 45 m² utility space, and a 15 m² garage), and offers generous sleeping accommodation for family and guests. On the ground floor, a large entrance hall leads to a bedroom with en-suite shower room and WC (ideal as an au pair suite), a garage housing the laundry, ski lockers and boiler room. As the chalet has a separate carport, the garage could easily be converted into additional living space, such as a spa or wellness area. The first floor features a modern, fully fitted kitchen, a bright living and dining room with an attractive insert fireplace, and direct access to the covered terrace and the beautiful garden. On this floor, the sleeping accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms with wardrobes and a bathroom with WC. On the top floor there is a mezzanine used as a small sitting room and study, three further bedrooms, and a shower room with WC. The chalet sits on a generous, flat and attractively planted plot - a feature much sought after in the resort. Views extend over the majestic Aravis mountain range. This property offers considerable potential: for extension, allowing the property to grow with your future plans, and for rental income, given its sleeping capacity and outstanding location.
