THE CHALET OF A SINGULAR COLLECTOR A rare double opportunity on Mont d’Arbois
In the heart of the highly sought-after Mont d’Arbois, just moments from the Four Seasons and the historic estate created by the Rothschild family, the property enjoys one of Megève’s most coveted locations. Overlooking the village and the Val d’Arly valley, it commands spectacular open views and exceptional year-round sunshine. Just one hour from Geneva, Megève has attracted an international clientele for more than a century, drawn by its understated elegance, discretion and unique Alpine art of living.
A house with a story. Built in 1939 by Henry Jacques Le Même and Jean Walter for Domenica Walter, widow of the legendary art collector Paul Guillaume and heir to the collection now at the Musée de l’Orangerie (Renoir, Cézanne, Picasso, Modigliani, Soutine), the chalet was conceived as a private retreat to live surrounded by art. 650 sqm over three levels, on a 1,355 sqm plot, requiring complete renovation.
A house to reinvent. A secured building permit, one that could no longer be granted today, unlocks the property’s potential: enlarged openings on the lower level, a new full-height window on the top floor and an added staircase, creating significant new living space. A renovation project has already been studied, envisioning six en-suite bedrooms with dressing rooms, a wellness area with an indoor pool, sauna and steam room, a fitness room, a private cinema, a laundry room and full air conditioning throughout the chalet.
Two rarities in one home: the soul of a historic collector’s chalet, and the freedom to shape it entirely to your vision. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: https://www.georisques.gouv.fr/
