Gérardmer, Chalet 5 Camere - 230 m² in vendita

Gérardmer, La Mauselaine area. Exceptional chalet, lake views, walking distance to the slopes, sold fully furnished and equipped

In the Vosges mountains of eastern France, within easy reach of Luxembourg, Strasbourg, the Rhine valley and southern Germany, Gérardmer is the leading resort of the range: a lakeside town of some nine thousand inhabitants, an alpine ski area, and a year-round destination for hiking, water sports and gastronomy. The chalet stands on the heights above the town, in the sought-after Mauselaine area, in a commanding position with open views over the valley, the ridgelines and Lake Gérardmer. The ski slopes are reached on foot in under ten minutes, and the town centre lies two kilometres away.

The reception level opens directly onto a generous panoramic terrace. The living space is arranged around a closed-hearth fireplace set into a hand-laid natural stone chimney breast: sitting room, dining area seating twelve beneath an antler chandelier, and an open kitchen fitted with a La Cornue range and its bespoke domed hood. Three sliding glass walls create a seamless transition between the living space and the outdoors.

The intermediate level comprises two en-suite bedrooms. On the upper floor, two further en-suite bedrooms open onto the ridgelines and the lake through wide windows and a balcony, alongside a children's bedroom fitted with two solid timber bunk beds. Five bedrooms in all, five private shower rooms, and twelve beds, every one of them in a bedroom.

The garden level is given over to wellbeing. The sauna, set against a dry-stone wall, opens full-frame onto the forest. A games room, a sixth shower room and a laundry occupy this same level, extended by a sheltered terrace beneath the timber frame housing the hot tub, sun loungers and an outdoor lounge.

The specification matches the whole: post-and-beam construction, reclaimed timber and natural stone, exposed roof structure, wide-format joinery, underfloor heating throughout, fibre optic connection and a television in every bedroom. EPC rating B, a rare level of performance for a mountain chalet. A 30 sqm closed garage and level parking for five vehicles complete this property.

170 sqm of living space, approximately 200 sqm in total, or 230 sqm built including the garage, set on 770 sqm of wooded grounds.

The chalet is sold entirely furnished and equipped, including furniture designed for the volumes, household linen and tableware. Currently operated as a high-end seasonal rental, it may be taken over as it stands with its concierge service, or become an immediately habitable second home. Operating figures will be shared in the course of a meeting.

The Mauselaine ski area offers 21 pistes across 40 km of runs, two chairlifts, a toboggan area and an ESF children's garden, reached on foot or by the free shuttle. Hiking and snowshoe trails start from the immediate surroundings. The lake, its beaches and its water-sports base are a five-minute drive away, as are the shops, restaurants and casino. Gérardmer hosts the International Fantastic Film Festival each year.

Access: Strasbourg 1 hr 45, Luxembourg 2 hrs 30, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg 1 hr 45, Frankfurt 3 hrs 30, Brussels 4 hrs 30 by road. Direct TGV services from Paris reach Épinal in around 2 hrs 30, forty minutes from the chalet, with further stations at Remiremont and Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. Colmar and the Alsace wine route are 53 km away, over the Col de la Schlucht.
