Le Hameau du Raffort

A captivating new development has arrived in Le Raffort, a charming hamlet nestled in the heart of the French Alps. Developed by a renowned Alpine property developer, these luxurious chalets offer the perfect blend of exquisite finishes and a tranquil setting, ideal for both ski enthusiasts and summer vacationers.

Located just a minute’s walk from the Olympe ski lift, these chalets provide unparalleled convenience. The Olympe lift whisks you away to the vast Three Valleys ski area, boasting an impressive 600km of slopes for all skill levels. Additionally, the lift connects Le Raffort to the lively center of Méribel and Méribel Village, ensuring easy access to a wider range of restaurants, shops, and services.

Built in the traditional Méribel style, these brand-new chalets seamlessly blend with the surrounding landscape. Charming gabled roofs, aged wood and stone facades, and inviting wooden balconies create an idyllic alpine ambiance. Step inside and discover a haven of warmth, featuring heated parquet flooring, wooden ceilings, and wood paneling throughout. Open-plan living and dining areas offer a perfect space for entertaining, complete with fitted kitchens boasting top-of-the-line Siemens appliances and cozy fireplaces.

The bedrooms provide a luxurious retreat, each featuring fitted wardrobes, wooden headboards, and en-suite bathrooms. For added convenience, some even boast dedicated desks, ideal for remote work. Each chalet includes two underground parking spaces, a ski room with locker and boot dryer, and the option to add a private hammam.

These chalets offer exceptional value, especially considering their prime location just steps from the ski lift and their exceptional finishes. High-end properties in Méribel typically start at €15,000 per sqm and can reach as high as €40,000 per sqm, particularly in sought-after areas. This development, priced at an average of just under €15,000 per sqm, presents an attractive alternative, allowing you to own a larger property near the slopes without sacrificing quality.

As a new-build property, these chalets offer additional benefits. Reduced notary fees (2%) compared to resales (7-8%) can translate to significant cost savings. Furthermore, these properties have the potential to be interesting rental investments, especially considering the world-class ski resort and lively summer season. The option to reclaim the VAT from the purchase price through rentals adds another layer of financial appeal.

Le Raffort’s quaint charm and authenticity provide a peaceful escape, while still offering easy access to the excitement of Méribel.
