At the entrance to the village of St-Jean, in a preserved natural environment where the view extends over the peaks without encountering any buildings, this characterful chalet offers a privilege that has become rare in the Swiss Alps: space, intimacy, and freedom.
Built in 1990 in accordance with Valais traditions, it combines authentic materials, modern comfort, and potential for evolution. Its plot of almost 2,400 m², now protected against any future construction, guarantees the sustainability of this exceptional setting.
Upon entering, the atmosphere immediately captivates. The old timbers, traditional masonry, and natural stones create a warm ambiance that recent constructions struggle to replicate.
Spread over two levels, the 82 m² of living space comprises:
• A friendly and bright living room.
• A dining room with a historic soapstone stove.
• Three bedrooms.
• A bathroom with shower, washbasin, and toilet.
• Perfectly maintained and immediately habitable spaces.
A basement of approximately 40 m² offers great potential for conversion into an additional bedroom or an independent studio thanks to its private entrance. The property is also complemented by a cellar, an outdoor shed, and a wood shed.
At the heart of the chalet stands an exceptional element: an authentic Valais soapstone stove, carved and dated 1862.
Much more than a heating method, it is a true heritage piece that diffuses a gentle and lasting warmth while giving the house an incomparable soul and character.
The property extends over 2,387 m² spread over two adjoining plots.
The second plot, consisting of a vast cultivated alpine meadow, naturally extends the garden and offers an exceptional breathing space.
The chalet benefits from a remarkable location:
- Unobstructed panoramic mountain views
- Absolute tranquility
- No direct vis-à-vis
- Quick access to the village and amenities
The slopes of the Grimentz-Zinal ski area join the immediate vicinity of the chalet. A bus stop located just 200 meters away provides easy access to the ski lifts, while the return can be made by piste close to the property. A particularly sought-after configuration and rarely available in this price range.
Built after 1990, the chalet benefits from an advantageous regulatory situation allowing for, subject to necessary authorizations:
• An extension of approximately 30%
• A significant transformation
• A reconstruction
A considerable advantage at a time when development possibilities are severely limited in mountain regions.
The chalet has a particularly comprehensive heating system:
• Remotely programmable electric heating
• Traditional soapstone stove
• Swedish wood-burning stove
Three complementary sources offering comfort, security, and energy independence.
In winter, enjoy one of the most beautiful ski areas in the Alps with Grimentz-Zinal, Saint-Luc/Chandolin, and Vercorin accessible via the Magic Pass.
In summer, the region becomes a huge playground for hiking, mountain biking, mountaineering, and nature lovers.
A rare property for those looking for more than just a chalet. A vast protected plot. A guaranteed view. Preserved authenticity. Privileged access to skiing.
This property represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire an authentic mountain chalet in one of the most sought-after areas of Val d'Anniviers.
