5 Bed, 4 Bath Ski In and Out Duplex Penthouse in the Centre of St Sorlin d'Arves – New Build

Description

Right in the middle of St Sorlin d'Arves, this new-build duplex penthouse has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, with only 40 m between the ski room and the piste. A south-facing balcony comes with it and a bioethanol fireplace can be added if you want one. The building is under construction now.

The standard finish is old wood and stone, down to old-wood partition walls and an old-wood front door. You choose the wall and floor finishes and design the kitchen yourself. A double ski locker holds two sets of eight pairs of skis and has boot warmers built in. Parking is extra at €18,000 a space, with up to two spaces available.

The apartment is sold freehold and you are under no obligation to let it. If you do decide to rent it out, the VAT can be reclaimed; ask us how that works. Because the property is new, notary fees are lower at 2–2.5%.

At 1,650 m, St Sorlin d'Arves is one of the villages of Les Sybelles, a 310 km ski area that ranks fourth among France's linked domains and seventh in Europe. It stays busy in summer too, when cyclists come to ride the Col de la Croix de Fer, the Tour de France climb that runs through the village. Three in four visitors are French, though buyers from the UK, the Netherlands and Belgium are now a regular sight.

The photographs show homes the same local builder has already completed, as a guide to the standard of finish.

Getting here: five airports are within driving distance (see the times below). St Jean de Maurienne is the nearest railway station, a 30-minute transfer away. Once the planned high-speed line between Paris, Lyon, Turin and Milan is running, the station will be about three hours from Paris by train.
