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.

Amazon HQ2 talks reportedly narrow to Crystal City, Dallas and NYC

Amazon is reportedly getting close to finalizing the location of its  $5 billion, 50,000-job  second headquarters following a nationwide reverse-contest of sorts, wherein the tech company accepted bids and presentations from different city governments on why they should be the one to land Amazon HQ2. And now it appears that three locations are currently in the lead: Virginia’s Crystal City, Dallas and New York City. After speaking to people familiar with Amazon’s plans, The Wall Street Journal reported  this weekend that the search for the second headquarters has narrowed from the 20 cities originally shortlisted as potential locations. Discussions around Denver, Toronto, Atlanta, Nashville, Tenn., and Raleigh, N.C. have cooled somewhat while Amazon’s team has been having more talks with representatives of the other three cities. Amazon’s impact on home affordability has been a major consideration, as the tech giant’s presence in Seattle has both created nume...

The Ultimate Guide To Family Law

Introduction The government has always had a fascination with families and the contract of marriage. State legislatures have passed many laws regulating the requirements for getting married and for obtaining a divorce. In addition, today’s laws also affect couples who live together outside of marriage. It is hard to give simple answers to many of the legal questions that a person may have about marriage, parenthood, separation, or divorce because the laws change and vary from one state to another. In addition, judges in different states with identical laws may decide cases with similar facts in different ways. This article describes the laws and court rulings common to most states. If you have other questions, please contact a lawyer in your state. You may also wish to contact a specialist. Many lawyers (particularly in urban areas) work only on family law or make it a large part of their general practice. Lawyers specializing in family law also may refer to themselves as specialist...

A tech millionaire wants to build a blockchain city in the desert

The desert in northwestern Nevada near Tesla’s Gigafactory is filled with sagebrush and dust, but if a cryptocurrency millionaire’s high-stakes gamble goes the way he wants the land will soon bloom into a full-blown city unlike any that has preceded it. The land includes 68,000 acres of desert near Reno. The man behind the plan is Jeffery Berns, 56, a lawyer and the founder of a company called Blockchains LLC. And the idea is to create an entirely new community, the size of a city, that is based entirely on blockchain — a kind of digital record keeping technology that is best known as the transaction ledger behind cryptocurrency Bitcoin . “We are building the world’s first smart city based on technology, from infrastructure all the way up,” Berns said Thursday in Prague during a launch event for the project. A moment later he added that, “It’s not so much a city as much as a series of different projects to highlight the power of a public blockchain.” The New York Times toured ...
