The art of Alpine architecture from Megève to Crans-Montana

Property description

Built by Chalet Bayrou, an alpine builder founded in 1890, this remarkable 467 m² chalet embodies more than four generations of expertise and a tradition that has given rise to iconic properties from Megève to Crans-Montana. Regularly featured in reference works and publications dedicated to mountain architecture, Chalet Bayrou boasts a provenance and authenticity that have become rare in the contemporary Alpine property market.

Bathed in natural light and characterised by spectacular volumes, the chalet offers an alpine living experience based on spaciousness, elegance and a remarkable continuity between indoors and outdoors.

At the heart of the property lies a majestic cathedral-style reception room rising nearly two and a half storeys high. Vast floor-to-ceiling windows flood the spaces with light throughout the day, whilst the living areas open naturally onto a generous sun-drenched terrace, which extends into the garden and its pergola.

As the hours pass, the light transforms the property, from the first rays of morning illuminating the kitchen and dining area to the soft afternoon light enveloping the main reception areas. The terrace and pergola then become the ideal setting for entertaining or enjoying long summer evenings whilst taking in the surrounding natural scenery.

Built on a magnificent 1,907 m² plot and benefiting from a vast adjoining natural area of a similar size, the property offers a sense of space that is particularly rare in the Villars region.

Situated within one of the region's most sought-after international residential areas, Chalet Bayrou elegantly combines prestige, space and quality of life. Renowned restaurants, cafés and local amenities are just a few minutes away, whilst the centre of Villars is an 8- to 10-minute drive away.

The property is suitable for purchase as either a main residence or a second home.
