House for sale, Les Giettes (Massongex, Switzerland)

If you are looking for an authentic property, you will find, located at Route des Giettes 210, on the heights of Monthey at an altitude of 1,113m, this welcoming chalet which will seduce you with its simplicity, in a privileged environment, bordered by greenery and preserved from prying eyes.

Built in 1982 of spruce logs, it is located on a generous plot of 1,746 m², largely bordered by the forest. The vegetation, the configuration of the land and the various outdoor spaces give it a particularly appreciable privacy. From its larch balcony, the property enjoys an unobstructed view, overlooking the Rhône plain towards Monthey and the surrounding hills.

The chalet has a living area of approximately 103 m², spread over two levels, heated with a combined wood and pellet stove.

On the ground floor, a small entrance airlock allows you to store shoes, jackets and equipment before reaching the living room. It offers a generous surface area of approximately 39 m², with a living room and an open kitchen, under a wooden ceiling punctuated by exposed beams. The many openings bring a beautiful light and allow you to take full advantage of the natural environment.

This level also includes a small bathroom equipped with a shower and a technical room. This has the space to accommodate a washing column at a later date, which is not currently installed.

The internal staircase leads to the first floor, organized around a large hall leading to three bedrooms. An exit provides direct access to the rear terrace and the outdoor areas located upstream from the chalet. A small garret completes this floor. Its limited height does not allow you to stand up, but this space can perfectly be used as storage or as a small play area for children.

The exteriors are one of the main assets of the property. The chalet has a large terrace, a garden, a covered area and an outdoor barbecue. The whole forms a friendly setting, ideal for enjoying the sunny days, receiving loved ones or simply recharging your batteries in contact with the forest.

The property also benefits, through an easement, from a right to use spring water, a rare and attractive feature for lovers of a lifestyle close to nature.

The chalet has just been partially renovated and an electrical check has already been carried out. The floors are vinyl and work remains to be planned in order to bring it up to date. The existing kitchen will have to be replaced by the future owners, with an estimated budget of around CHF 20,000. The other improvements can be undertaken gradually, according to the priorities and desires of the buyers. The cottage can be occupied in its current state although changing the kitchen is recommended before moving in.

Access by car has a significant slope, which should be taken into consideration, especially during the winter period. However, the property allows for easy parking of 3 vehicles. The roads above and below the chalet do not guarantee absolute silence, but the density of the vegetation and the location of the building preserve a feeling of isolation and remarkable privacy.

This property is primarily aimed at people who are sensitive to a simple, wooded and secluded environment, while remaining close to Monthey and the amenities of the plain. Its log architecture with a distribution of living spaces that makes everyday life easier, its large plot and its outdoor spaces give it the charm of a real cosy mountain refuge.
