La Reine des Pres, Samoens, Haute Savoie, France

High quality leaseback development in Samoens.

Superbly located close to the lift, this Residence de Tourisme will consist of 8 traditional style chalets with 2 to 13 apartments in each. It will feature an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and a spa & beauty centre.

The village of Samoens is one of the most unspoilt in the region. Its charming old streets, central square, original architecture and friendly residents provide a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere throughout the whole year. As one of the 5 resorts that make up the Grand Massif (Flaine, Les Carroz, Morillon and Sixt being the other 4) there is an abundance of high quality skiing right on your doorstep, with 265 km of pistes on offer.

Apart from being one of the most snow-sure regions in the Alps, Samoens also benefits from its prime location, just 25 minutes from les Gets and its 600 km of slopes, and 50 minutes from Chamonix and Megeve. Also the historic town of Annecy with its wonderful lake and canals is only 50 minutes away, so you would never run out of places to visit. Geneva airport is within an hour's drive making this an ideal location.

The village recently underwent a huge transformation with the construction of a gondola linking it directly to the slopes at 1600m in 8 mins. A new 6 seater chairlift will also be built next year (2008) to take you directly to 2100m. Taking full advantage of the new lift, MGM are building just 100m away.

This great location is a true rarity in the mountains, meeting almost every key criteria that most purchasers are looking for. To blend in with the regional architecture, all the buildings will be in the typical style of the Haute Savoie with timber and stone facades.

A minute’s walk to the lift linking you directly to 265 km of pistes and in one of the most beautiful villages in the Alps. Does it get any better!
