Erna Low Property is delighted to launch Le Hameau des Rennes, a prestigious project of ski-in ski-out chalets and chalet style apartments in the much sought after and expanding resort of Vars in the Southern Alps. Situated at 2000m this luxurious project is situated in Vars-les-Claux, the highest of the four villages including Saint Marcellin, Sainte Marie and Sainte Catherine forming part of 'La Fort Blanche' ski domain. Connecting with the well known resort of Risoul, the snow conditions here are superb given its altitude and pistes reaching up to 2750m and 180 km of pistes. There are plans now in place to expand the ski area to its full potential of around 3500m altitude. Furthermore, additional villages will eventually be linked to the expanding ski area.
Le Hameau des Rennes is situated in its own valley and surrounded by breathtaking views. As a ski-in ski-out project, the excellent pistes are directly accessible with ease. There will be
spacious one, two and three bedroom apartments in a traditional alpine local 'queyrassin' style predominantly using heavy woods and stone in the construction.
Secure underground parking will be available to allow for a 'pedestrian village' linking directly to the slopes. As a prestigious holiday residence, there will be a wealth of services for
owners and visitors to enjoy such as a sauna, indoor pool, exercise room and room service. There will also be a number of commercial outlets and amenities within the project including ski
hire as well as restaurants, bars and grocery stores for all daily conveniences.
The apartments and chalets are available either as a traditional freehold acquisition or on the French leaseback scheme with guaranteed rental returns of up to 4% plus attractive usage
options. Prices start from 198,000 EUR on the leaseback scheme and are due for completion in December 2008.
There are many activities on offer in this popular resort which attracts visitors in both the summer and winter months. Aside from skiing and snowboarding, visitors can enjoy skidooing,
dog sledging, toboggan, ice skating, Nordic skiing and much more. In summer the sunny climate allows for superb conditions for hiking, mountain biking and golfing. The centre of the
resort offers some excellent aprs ski, with log cabin bars, restaurants and discos which are easily accessible from the project, yet far enough away to remain tranquil.
Le Hameau des Rennes is just 1.5 hrs drive from Grenoble and accessible by train to Guillestre which is just 15 km from Vars and linked by shuttle buses between the station and the
resort. Site visits are available with an English speaking representative
Bertie Sanderson Director Erna Low Property says 'This is a resort which has been popular for many years with the French, and has been a well-kept secret amongst the British.
Vars/Risoul is superbly located to take advantage of high altitude sunny slopes as well as being within a couple of hour's drive of Aix-en-Provence and the South Coast. Together with easy
access to Grenoble from the UK, the Hameau des Rennes offers as a fabulous all year round investment opportunity or freehold purchase from just 198,000. With occupancy levels already at
80% in the winter months and 100% during July - mid August, there is truly a real demand for high-end accommodation in this resort.'
