The Talloires Viewpoint

The Talloires Viewpoint is a typical savoyard chalet recently renovated, with fantastic views on Lake Annecy and the mountains.
The property features a large swimming pool, a large garden, 5 double bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Located just above Talloires village, on the door step of beautiful trails walks and 10mn away from the lake, it is the perfect location for a nature and sports filled holiday. It is right along the route of the Tour de France stage 2023.

This large chalet very recently redecorated offers fantastic views over Lake Annecy and surrounding mountains. Most bedrooms and living spaces benefit from windows and large bay windows onto the garden, pool and lake, letting light and views into the house.

The house is split into 3 levels:
- At the entry/garden/parking level is a large hallway with plenty of storage; a large double room with an ensuite bathroom and access to the lower terrace, and a laundry room.
- The first floor is levelled to the upper garden, a balcony wrapped around the house leading to a large terrace with outdoor dining and pool. At this level is the main kitchen/dining/lounge area, a double room with an ensuite shower and an independent WC.
- The last floor features a family bathroom with a walk-in Italian shower and 3 double bedrooms: 2 are lake facing (1 of them with 2 single beds) and the 3rd one has its own ensuite bathroom. There is also an independent WC at this level.

The living space is bright and spacious with amazing views and large sliding doors opening up onto the balcony which is fabulous in summer. The large sofa looking out onto the lake, TV and an odourless ethanol fireplace make the space very cosy in winter.

Attached to the lounge is the kitchen and dining: very modern and beautifully designed, the kitchen is fully equipped with a large American-style fridge with ice maker, double sink, oven, dishwasher, wine fridge, and lots of storage. The large dining table seats 10 comfortably, perfect for convivial meals.
A large pair of sliding doors opens the space up onto the balcony, terrace, pool, and outdoor dining area.

You will enjoy the amazing views of the surrounding landscape from the pool; the outdoor sitting area with umbrellas and sun loungers by the poolside, the large outdoor dining table with BBQ, and the large wild garden. Please note the garden is sloping. It is a great place to play and run around, but it will not be suited for a football game!
The front courtyard is large and can easily park 5 cars. The property is fully secured with a manual gate and a fence.
Bicycles and sports equipment may be stored in the lockable pool room.
