House in Savines-le-Lac , Hautes-Alpes , Provence Cote d Azur

The Villa….

Just a few hundred metres from the village of Savine le Lac is a lovely residential area overlooking the lake. This property takes up one of the nicest plots which is elevated and has stunning south facing views.

The Villa sits on 1078 m2, which commands perfect views of the length of the Lac de Serre Poncon. The building is divided in two with the ground floor and basement being the owners residence. Upstairs are two further floors which make up the rental accommodation. This includes 5 large bedrooms, 2 shower rooms and a vast open plan living area including kitchen, dining area and lounge.
This whole living space has wide bay windows which overlook the lake on all sides. The general theme of the rental property is one of colour. It has been decorated throughout with this in mind, with each bedroom having it’s own clear and bright complexion.
The rental unit is so spacious that a group of 12 can use it and feel completely un-cramped and comfortable.
The owners have their own private quarters on the lower floors. The ground floor has 2 grand double bedrooms, with a third bedroom below. This bedroom has it’s own shower room and sauna. There are 2 bathrooms and the vast living area has an archway separating the kitchen.
There are bay windows that open directly on to the terrace with direct access to the swimming pool. The lower floor is semi interred and has a vast garage ( with tiled floor ), wine cellar, technical room and laundry.

This property is one of a kind. It feels like a Mediterranean villa with its bright, sunny terraces, open plan living areas and stunning waterside views.

The property rents very well, though the owners do not try too hard to fill weeks through the summer and do nothing in winter.

The Area….

Savines le Lac is one of the most popular areas on the Lac de Serre Poncon.
It is a warm and friendly village with a great choice of restaurants and bars as well as 2 small marinas and water sports facilities.
The local authorities recently finished the local beach area which has protected swimming and a lovely public grass area beside the beach.
There is a pleasure boat that stops here and tours the whole lake, and it is possible to rent out small speed boats as well.
There are a few hotels and several campsites, though more property owners are now seeing the benefits of renting out quality family accommodation.

The area is also only a few kilometres away from a choice of ski stations including Les Orres, Relaillon, Vars and Risoul.

This area has a wonderful climate, being closer to Provence than the Alps in terms of summer sun
