New real estate development in Manigod : L’HERBIER residence

New real estate developments in Manigod are now rare, particularly when they offer an intimate chalet-style residence that is already completed and immediately available. The L’HERBIER residence embodies this exceptional opportunity, offering a privileged lifestyle in the heart of the Aravis mountains, combining Alpine authenticity with contemporary comfort.

Located close to the Croix-Fry ski area, with quick access to La Clusaz, this development benefits from a highly sought-after setting that blends tranquility, sunshine and exceptional panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Its South / South-West exposure and unobstructed 180° views over the region’s iconic peaks further enhance the appeal of this discreet and exclusive address.

Choosing a new apartment in Manigod within the L’HERBIER residence means investing in a lasting heritage property, designed for a high-end second home or comfortable year-round family living. The high-quality finishes, carefully selected materials and recent construction standards from a development delivered in 2025 meet the expectations of a discerning clientele seeking a rare property in the Alps.

A development that is now almost entirely sold, confirming the growing interest in distinctive new-build real estate in Manigod.

Reduced notary fees on new-build properties

Buying a new property in La Clusaz offers a significant financial advantage: reduced notary fees compared with older properties.

When purchasing off-plan (VEFA – Vente en l’État Futur d’Achèvement), notary fees generally represent around 2–3% of the purchase price, whereas they typically reach 7–8% for existing properties.

This difference is due to the way the fees are calculated, as they mainly apply to the value of the land rather than the completed property.

For a new chalet in the Alps, this can represent substantial savings, sometimes amounting to several tens of thousands of euros.

These savings can be used to:

• optimise the overall purchase budget

• finance interior design or furnishings

• improve the profitability of a rental investment

Combined with modern construction standards, energy efficiency and developer warranties, reduced notary fees are one of the key advantages of purchasing a new development in La Clusaz.

Para-hotel investment : an optimized strategy in Manigod

The L’Herbier residence, located in Manigod, can be integrated into a para-hotel rental scheme, a structure particularly sought after by buyers wishing to combine personal use, seasonal rental income and tax optimization.

The para-hotel regime is designed for investors who wish to offer furnished rentals with services within a regulated framework, while benefiting from significant tax advantages. It is generally applicable when purchasing new property or property less than five years old, sold by a professional, but can also apply to off-plan purchases (VEFA) or properties undergoing substantial renovation or construction works.

Among the main advantages of the para-hotel regime:

• VAT recovery on the acquisition price, subject to conditions

• Attractive tax benefits, depending on the investor’s status and operating structure

• Seasonal rental income potential in a sought-after Alpine destination

In a location highly desirable for tourist rentals, close to the Croix-Fry ski area and with quick access to La Clusaz, the para-hotel structure offers a highly efficient and well-organized investment framework, allowing owners to enhance the value of their property while maintaining genuine flexibility of use.

A relevant fiscal and rental framework for those looking to invest in Alpine real estate while relying on professional, local property management.
