In the Spring of 2013, construction will begin on three luxury chalets in the charming and sought-after village of Lauenen. These will be some of the last new constructions expected to be authorized as second homes. This offers a superb opportunity for investors or residents to purchase a large, luxury chalet in Lauenen with the permission to sell to foreigners and to residents as a holiday home.
The Developer’s plan was for:
“Well designed, well constructed, luxury chalets that offer a good investment and good value for money in this high-end market!”
And that is exactly what these chalets deliver.
Each chalet will be truly unique. One of the most important advantages is the flexibility in the building plans: if purchased early enough in the Winter period, an owner will be able to customize the number of bedrooms, the final fittings, equipment and interiors. Each offering an area between 570m² and 600m² in total, and between 400m² and 430m² of “actual living space”, these chalets offer a luxurious blank canvas to design your ideal home.
The current chalet plan offers the following:
• The master bedroom suite is south-facing and occupies the entire top floor of the chalet. This luxurious domain includes a spacious bedroom with “his and hers” bathrooms and “his and hers” dressing areas/offices. A large balcony leads off the front of the chalet, with two small balconies on each side. This sizeable space could also readily be converted to two large suites.
• A spacious and impressive south-facing living area is located on the first floor. An extensive kitchen on the east side of the chalet allows you to enjoy the morning sun, while a large dining area and generous lounge area with fireplace provide the ideal entertaining spaces. A separate TV room provides entertainment for cosy winter evenings. This floor is wrapped on both sides with a full width balcony to take advantage of the fresh air and alpine views.
• The ground floor contains three luxuriously large guest-suites, each with en-suite bathroom and comfortable dressing area. Each bedroom allows access to the terrace and lovely gardens. This large space could easily be realized as four guest bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Each chalet can also offer a staff apartment with kitchen, en-suite bathroom and separate entrance, if required.
• The extensive basement allows space for a wine cellar, fitness centre, wellness/sauna, ski room, laundry, and plenty of storage. Each chalet will include a lift to provide easy access to all four floors. Two underground car parking spaces are integrated in each chalet, with the option of an additional two secure parking spaces in a private garage.
This is an exceptional opportunity. The first of these chalets has been reserved and the remaining two are expected to go quickly.
The chalets are offered for sale exclusively by Lauenen Gstaad Immobilien GmbH, which has Offices in Gstaad and Lauenen. See www.lauenenchalets.com.
