Authentic old "Off Grid" Chalet with careful renovations
This exceptional chalet built in 1800 is in the heart of nature. Access by car is only possible in summer and stops about 300 m from the chalet, the rest of the way will be accompanied by the sound of cow bells; your only environment in this property being nature, wildlife, mountains, a stream, and pure air.
In winter, you can access the chalet on snowshoes, or with the tracked snow groomer that is included with the property.
The chalet is fully furnished and equipped to operate autonomously.
- The structure of the chalet made of heartwood dates back to 1800 and is in very good condition. The few beams that have endured the test of time require no treatment, except for aesthetic purposes. The building has been maintained and partially renovated in 2014. It was completely arranged in 2022/2023.
- The chalet is supplied with water from a spring whose catchment and piping have just been redone, as well as a large reservoir ensuring an abundant supply of very good quality water.
- There is no wastewater disposal or septic tank. Currently, dry toilets are operational, however, a land servitude for the installation of a septic tank is in the process of being registered.
- The chalet is powered by solar panels providing complete autonomy and sized to operate usual household appliances.
- A heat pump provides energy to heat the sanitary water.
- The chalet is heated by three stoves, one of which is a mixed furnace (wood/pellets), remotely controlled by smartphone.
- The property is located outside the building zone but is no longer subject to the LDFR (Law on Rural Land Rights) as the exemption has been authorized by the Canton. The parking space and access path are subject to a servitude registered in the Land Registry.
- A use as a primary residence falls under the realm of utopia (although not prohibited), the financial plan only considers the perspective of a secondary residence.
The current owner has put all his know-how and good taste into the renovation of the chalet, old wood, respect for tradition, and modern comfort. This chalet has often been used as a holiday accommodation (12 places) for very interesting income given the rarity of such an object on the market. Yes, this chalet is unique in its kind, unique in this valley of Diablerets with its magnificent ski area!
