Now, a four bedroom apartment in Verbier has come to the market and offers a rare opportunity for non-Swiss purchasers. Located close to the l'Esserts, this duplex apartment is priced at CHF5,600,000.
Matthew Hodder-Williams, International Residential, Knight Frank, says: 'Under the current property buying legislation in Switzerland, finding a property in a desirable resort, such as Verbier, is incredibly difficult for non-Swiss residents and permit holders therefore we expect interest in this property to be high.'
With traditional alpine architecture, the apartment is arranged over two floors. The first floor comprises a cosy sitting room with a large fire place and views across Verbier and the valley. There is also a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a second bedroom. Upstairs are two further bedrooms, with access to a balcony, and two bathrooms.
The property is within easy reach of shops and restaurants and the slopes themselves.
The apartment is for sale for CHF5,600,000
Verbier itself boasts over 400km of pistes, coupled with some of Switzerland's best off-piste skiing as well as a lively and vibrant village atmosphere.
