Smaller sized chalets such as Tounet are perfect as holiday places or as a permanent home for a young couple or small family, and are quite rare to market. Given this property also offers with it the significant bonus of additional planning permission being possible for a large chalet or even set of apartments, we believe this is a great find.

Property Description
This individual property has recently been tastefully refurbished and comprises a spacious living room with kitchen, dining area and lounge. The master bedroom and further second bedroom lead off from the main living space and in addition to the family bathroom with bath/shower, sink and toilet, there is a separate WC with hand basin.
The full ceiling height gives the main living area a feeling of space, yet the wooden floors and fireplace with wood burning stove keep the chalet cosy and authentic.
The property has had a new roof and in 2008 was rewired and received new plumbing along with many new windows.
Outside the garden space has been graveled for easy maintenance and includes a decking area and large shed for storage.
The front of the property faces south and it is only a 10-15 minute walk into the centre of Les Contamines village. A bus leaves at the end of the drive for the ski area.
One of the significant benefits of the property is that is has considerable residual SHON (planning permission for liveable space) which means an additional 290m2 could be built on the plot of 1168m2. This is an extremely attractive proposition as it would open up numerous possibilities of extending, rebuilding or adding a further property. The current owners were granted planning permission for a large chalet on the land a few years ago and have even put the preparatory water drainage in anticipation of such a project.
Currently Tounet is occupied year-round, but was very successfully rented out in previous years for 4/6 people and would continue to be an attractive rental let, as individual chalets for ski holidays are difficult to find in the valley.
