MGM FRENCH PROPERTIES LAUNCHES BOUTIQUE DEVELOPMENT IN THE HEART OF PARADISKI

Leading French property developer, MGM French Properties, has launched a new boutique development, Les Granges de l’Epinette in the sought-after resort of Vallandry. This collection of 34 apartments offers excellent family living space, classic interiors and striking panoramic views of Mont Blanc. Each home is available for outright purchase and boasts a private balcony, underground parking, ski locker and cellar; with prices starting at €275,000 for a one bedroom apartment.

Situated at 1600m, Vallandry is located in one of Europe’s largest and most popular ski areas, Paradiski, which offers 425km of uninterrupted pistes between Les Arcs and La Plagne. Les Granges de l’Epinette is ideally located close to the centre of Vallandry, just a short walk to the Vanoise Express, Vallandry chair lift and open-air gondola Lonzagne, providing quick access to some of Europe’s highest peaks and finest Alpine views.

Les Granges de l’Epinette has been designed using the highest quality materials, such as timber, stone and copper, as well as slate roof tiles, combining to create the charm and authenticity of a rustic mountain chalet. Each layout has been configured for maximum space and comfort, with open-plan living spaces, generous bedrooms and sleek bathrooms. Kitchens are also fully-fitted.

The opportunity to purchase outright is incredibly valuable in the French property market, as owners can adapt the apartment according to taste, and manage their second home as they see fit. The rarity of sites available for development makes the choice to invest in the Alps a shrewd one, as properties there should see a strong capital appreciation over time.

The charming town of Vallandry offers a great choice of après-ski activities, with a number of excellent restaurants, bars and shops nearby. Restaurant Le Dahu is located opposite Les Granges de l’Epinette, whilst the nearby nursery gives can take the stress out of childcare, allowing parents the freedom to hit the slopes for a few hours.

All year round, the Paradiski area is an excellent choice for those who enjoy the outdoors and mountain lifestyle. Not only is it a skiers’ paradise, but it offers plenty of alternative activities; with the entrance to the Vanoise National Park in close range. Stretching over 53,000 hectares, France’s first national park is a protected site for flora and fauna. During the summer months, the park is a buzz with hikers, however also offers alternatives including mountain biking and paragliding and wildlife spotting.

Vallandry benefits from excellent national and international transport links, with Geneva and Lyon airports both under 2.5 hours away by car.
