Morzine | L’Estive

Perched above the rooftops of Morzine at the sought-after lieu-dit Le Pied de La Plagne, L'Estive occupies one of the most coveted positions in the entire Portes du Soleil. A boutique collection of chalet-style buildings in Morzine in the Pied de La Plagne area (direct ski access to the Portes du Soleil). Apartments range from 1 to 4 bedrooms, plus there are four semi-detached chalets with open views over the different peaks. Traditional architecture (natural timber, dual-pitch roofs) meets modern comfort: pedestrian access, secure underground parking and generous private outdoor space (balconies, terraces or gardens). Ideal for personal use and rental income.

L'Estive is designed to look as though it has always been there. Eight intimate low-rise buildings and four semi-detached chalets take their cues from traditional Savoyard architecture — steeply pitched dual-span rooftops, warm natural timber cladding, and clean, unfussy lines that sit in perfect harmony with the landscape around them. This is not a resort bolt-on; it is a considered, carefully crafted addition to one of the Alps' most authentic mountain villages.

Residences Built for Real Comfort

Inside, the finish is uncompromising. Apartments range from generous one-bedroom layouts to expansive four-bedroom family residences, each designed with wide living spaces, excellent natural light, and quality materials throughout. Every home comes with its own private outdoor space — a balcony, terrace or garden — to extend your living area into the mountains themselves. Private parking units, including closed garages + caves + ski lockers, are included in the price. Kitchens are not included in the price but packs are available. One wall (brushed wood) by the main window in the living room, lifts from the underground parking to the dwellings, heat pump + hydraulic underfloor heating, EV charging options in the garage.

Morzine consistently ranks among the Alps' most resilient property markets, underpinned by its dual-season appeal, strong international demand — particularly from the UK, Switzerland, and the Benelux — and a chronic undersupply of high-quality new-build stock. L'Estive's position within the Portes du Soleil, combined with its rare freehold land footprint and RT 2012 energy performance credentials, make it a compelling long-term asset whether purchased as a primary residence, second home, or rental investment.
