Dream Ski Chalet In Courchevel: Five Bedrooms And A Concierge Team, Yours For $14.6 Million

Comes With Full Service: The Lodge at Courchevel (Photo credit: Savills, London)Savills, London

Courchevel 1850 is the most exclusive of the Three Valleys resorts, a tiny enclave of superior chalets and with unfettered access to some of the best snow in the Alps. Add to those assets the almost-like-a-hotel service of the Six Senses concierge operation as your house managers, and the price grazing $15 million starts to make sense.

The Lodge, as it is impressively named, occupies three floors, and includes, in addition to the five bedrooms, each with its own bath, a screening room, a bespoke kitchen, fetching outdoor dining areas on balconies, and for those aches and pains incurred on Courchevel's rather daunting slopes, a sauna, a hammam, a Jacuzzi. That's if you don't want to trip down to the Six Senses spa itself.

But it's the management and depth of the concierge services -- also through Six Senses -- that puts The Lodge into the upper grades of chalet. The concierge team is at your beck and call round the clock, seven days a week, for transport, catering, and cleaning. Need a chef for a dinner party for ten ski buddies? No problem. The word that expresses the freedom that this represents in the chalet-hospitality trade is 'lock up and leave.' There's a lot in that phrase. It means: money.

Vacation rental company Vacasa buys Sterling Resorts

Vacation rental management tech startup Vacasa isn’t slowing down its ambitions to conquer the market: this week, it announced that it has purchased Sterling Resorts, a vacation management company on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Sterling has changed hands before: it was bought by Pacifica Companies in 2015 and currently manages 450 homes. Now it will become a part of Vacasa’s effort to expand its presence in vacation destinations such as northern Florida, where Sterling is based. At the time of this latest purchase, Sterling’s home inventory was down from 585 properties in 2015. Vacasa has raised more than $200 million since its launch ten years ago. Founder Eric Breon said he was motivated to start the company after struggling to find a satisfactory management solution for a cabin belonging to his wife’s family on the Washington coast. Now Vacasa seeks to provide rental property owners with “a seamless experience…through innovative technology and local staff,” that give them

CLARY/AFP/Getty Images) Getty A 2014 bill that aims to impose an additional tax on part-time New York residents—dubbed the “pied-a-terre tax”—has risen from the dead, largely in thanks to the recent record-breaking Central Park penthouse purchase by billionaire Ken Griffin. Griffin, worth an estimated $11.7 billion and No. 45 on the Forbes 400 , reportedly bought the $238 million-dollar apartment “as a place to stay when he’s in town,” according to his representatives. The purchase drew widespread attention to the financial losses that part-time and foreign property owners can cause the city. Bec
