The next generation in chalet design

It is not often we encounter chalets that make us pause and decide that what we are looking at is not something copied from hundreds of other properties; but a truly innovative trendsetting departure from the fare on display in the market. Designed by its English owners to serve as their home, this absolutely lovely chalet in the Jaillet area of Megeve, five minutes for the centre, is unique. Built of old wood on the exterior and wood, painted white on the interior, the choice of furniture and the originality of objects, colours and textures sets a trend which is sure to catch on. The property has five bedrooms (of which one is for children), a home cinema, sauna, exterior Jacuzzi, hammam, and a massage room. Space is the one thing you have plenty of as well as ample amounts of light.

Built on three floors with ample parking space (two covered and three outside), the 480 square meters of living space are perfectly proportioned and no one will feel they are invading the space of anyone else. A large terrace in front of the house offers expansive views of the Mont d’Arbois and, if the windows in the front of the house give you a feeling of being in one of the most hip properties in the Alps you would not be wrong. This is not a decoration you would call contemporary but it is not traditional either: predominated white with highlights of colour and warm touches everywhere, you are certain that this is s a style that will please. Technology abounds with a server system, and thousands of films on demand as well as flat screen TVs in all bedrooms.
