Ultima Megève

Set on an open alpine meadow above Megève, Ultima Megève spans a pair of private timber-and-stone chalets, their pitched shingle roofs and wraparound wood balconies looking out over rolling pasture toward the snow-capped peaks of the Mont Blanc massif. A fire pit and open lawn stretch between the two structures, the forested hillside rising quietly behind.

Inside, the main chalet opens into a double-height living room, a two-sided fireplace anchoring deep sofas beneath a timber-beamed loft. The dining room carries its own vaulted ceiling, a crystal chandelier hanging over a long glass-topped table built for large gatherings, floor-to-ceiling windows framing the mountains beyond. Bedrooms hold vaulted wood ceilings and private balconies, fur throws layered over crisp linens, while a marble bathroom pairs a soaking tub with mountain views through its window. A dedicated bunk room, and a curved wine cellar lined floor to ceiling with bottles, round out the home's quieter corners.

Downstairs, an indoor pool opens through glass onto its own terrace, loungers set beneath an umbrella against the snow. A wood-paneled game room holds foosball tables and arcade racing machines for evenings in, while outside, wide decks hold long dining tables, a fire pit, and a hot tub against the sweep of the valley. The quiet of the meadow holds steady beneath Mont Blanc's distant peak.
