Sorry, I just like farms

Here is another one. It is south facing, 25 minutes to Chamonix and recently renovated. With new electrics and a recent boiler

There are 3 bedrooms, a large open plan living area, garage, terrace and balcony and the most amazing bread oven which would lend itself perfectly for use as a wood fired pizza oven. Ideal for those apres ski sessions and a real talking point.

A vine of over 150 years of age climbs up the front of the façade, testament to the sunny aspect.

The owner who is moving next door could be persuaded to part with some of his wine collection if the right offer is made!

Mer de Nuage

The Mer de Nuage or the sea of cloud is a natural phenomena which occurs here in the French Alps, when warm moist air is trapped by colder air, forming and compressing cloud into the valleys. Result- mountain tops peaking out of what looks like a white sea. Bright sunshine for you, sub zero temperatures for the valley dwellers.

Another reason to come to the mountains - but stay high.

'Mind the gap' as the platform announcers say; in this case between the r and the d above otherwise you might be in the sh*t at least with your French friends.

Le Tour

It's a while since I have been up to Le Tour in the Chamonix valley; still the village which has the most snow and sun in the French alps according to Dan whose catered chalet business I was viewing.

I would add to that fact that it can also be the coldest, or at least it can feel that way as the wind here can rip through supposedly windproof clothing with consumate ease. You quickly learn to sit next to one of your more corpulent friends as they make a handy wind break on the chairlift.

But as places go, cold aside its a top location. At the head of the Chamonix valley, the exposed bowls make for great skiing and when there is powder you can pretty much go anywhere (H&S note - only if you know what you are doing!!!!)

Anyway the chalet business is run in a 9 bedroom chalet at the bottom of the car park, so couldn't be closer or better placed. Mostly ensuite bedrooms are complemented by balconies looking straight down the valley towards Mont Blanc. A great sitting room has enough seating for all your guests and the view from the owners accomadation will blow you away. Sauna, games room and hot tub, plus a local mayor next door to ensure you get snow ploughed first.

A snip and a bargain and a ready to run business.
