Balancing the contemporary with the traditional is tricky, but this chalet has an impressive, open-plan, double-height living area that manages to retain the feel of a traditional chalet.

With geo-thermal heating & A-rated energy efficiency, it is cosy, warm and very comfortable. Situated in a pretty village with good access to both Les Houches and Chamonix, it's just an hour's drive from Geneva.Built to a very high specification, the chalet has been cleverly designed to make the most of the views and faces directly south, straight towards the spectacular Aiguille du Midi and its' surrounding peaks and the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open from the main living area straight onto the terrace and garden area.The accommodation is arranged across 3 floors, here's the layout:Main floor:Large, open-plan living area with kitchen, dining room & sitting room with vaulted ceiling & doors to terrace and garden.Garden level:4 bedrooms2 ensuite bathroomsFamily bathroomSeparate WCEast facing terraceWest facing terraceLower-ground level:Snug sitting room / TV roomOfficeLaundry / drying roomLocation:Les Houches is a pretty village, comprising of a number of hamlets, each with it's own chapel and traditional style buildings.

Less than 10mins from Chamonix, you have the best of both worlds here - a quiet, family friendly ski-area on one side, and all the vibrancy of Chamonix on the other. At an elevation of 1000m, the lifts from the town take you up to an altitude of 1860m and a network of tree-lined blues and reds bring you back down to base.

For more advanced skiers, Les Houches has some of hte best powder tree skiing in the Chamonix valley. The mountain restaurants of Les Houches are nearly all family run and have a particularly good authenticity and standard of food.In the mountains around the village, there is also a snow park as well as show-shoeing and cross-country skiing on offer.

Les Houches has a good range of restaurants, bars, shops, 2 supermarkets, climbing wall and ice-rink in the winter. In summer, there is a lake and tennis courts and the walking trails from the village are stunning with panoramic views of the peaks that surround the Chamonix valley. The atmosphere in the town is relaxed and friendly, quite a contrast to the neighbouring Chamonix.

However, if you fancy a bit of apres-ski action, it's just a short drive away or, perhaps more importantly, an easy bus ride home!At a glance:Bedrooms: 4Bathrooms: 3Receptions: 2Habitable space: 233m2Plot size: 912m2Year of construction: 2017DPE rating: AHeating: GeothermalDrainage: MainsNeighbours: nearbyDistance to shops: a few minutesDistance to lifts 5 minsDistance to airport: Geneva, 1hr 20 minsPlease note: Agency fees are included in the advertised price and are payable by the purchaser.

Interested in this property? Don't lose out to currency fluctuations changing the price you pay...

Many overseas buyers in France do not realise they can lose thousands of pounds through adverse currency exchange rate movements.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in France will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £76,293 more.
