post homes French Alps, from 350,000 euros DEMAND for holiday homes being built in the traditional farming village and ski resort of Les Carroz d’Araches, in the Grand Massif area of the French Alps, is so strong that the developer, MGM, has brought forward plans to construct more on another site nearby. More than half of the 19 leaseback apartments taking shape in MGM’s Chalet des Belles Pistes development have been sold off-plan and the scheme is on schedule for completion ahead of the ski season at the end of this year. Now a further 14 apartments for outright purchase are planned. The new development – Chalet Adénora – is just five minutes’ walk from the centre of the bustling village and 50m from the ski lift. Each of the spacious two and three bedroom apartments come with balconies and terraces as well as a ski locker, secure cellar storage and a parking space. “The internal finishes will be a blend of traditional and contemporary styles, planned to create a 21st century feel within our typically Alpine exterior of local timber and stone,” said Richard Deans, who heads MGM’s London
This computer-generated image shows how MGM’s Chalet Adénora development, in Les Carroz d’Araches, in the Grand Massif area of the French Alps, will look when it’s completed sales team. The prices of MGM apartments in villages such as Les Carroz can be around 25% lower than comparable properties in big name resorts like nearby Chamonix. At Chalet Adénora, prices start at 350,000 euros for a two bedroom apartment with a floor area of 56 sq m.
Easy to reach from the UK, Les Carroz is a 50-minute drive from Geneva Airport or 90 minutes from Chambery Airport. During the ski season, Eurostar trains run direct from London’s St Pancras International to Bourg St Maurice, which is 90 minutes by car from Les Carroz. Les Carroz d’Araches is one
of five interconnected ski resorts which make up the Grand Massif – the third biggest ski area in the French Alps – made popular because many of its major slopes are north-facing and retain their snow for a longer period than many other resorts. Of course skiing isn’t the only activity that investors
