Where Can You Buy Affordable and Profitable Ski Property Abroad

There will always be a wealthy element of society who can afford to have a winter skiing break as well as a summer sunshine holiday!  What’s more, increasing numbers of us want to get away at any cost and are finding that a holiday abroad is a relief from the strain of everyday life. 

What this means is that there is still demand for holiday property abroad – and that includes homes in the sun and on the piste.  We recently examined where you could buy affordable property abroad and focused on markets where there is strong demand for summer sunshine breaks – but where can you buy affordable and profitable ski property abroad?

Well, if you’re looking for somewhere to buy a ski property that you can enjoy with your family and friends, or you’d like to purchase an investment property in a popular winter sports destination, we have some suggestions of properties for sale, and locations for you.

Sweden is incredibly affordable for property – what’s more, it is an ideal location for those who want a property they can let out all year round.  In the long winter, a well-located property will rent well with skiers, in the spring and summer you can let your property to those who want a holiday enjoying the great outdoors. 

There’s a lovely house for sale that comes with its own log cabin and an expanse of private woodland that would make an ideal second home overseas for those who love the great outdoors all year round, or for those hoping to let it out to winter sports enthusiasts.  It’s in Byberget in Sweden, close to the Vemdalem Ski Resort and on the edge of a stunning lake.  This property could be perfect for summer holidays as well as winter holidays, and because it comes fully furnished and is ready to move in to, you could begin enjoying it or profiting from it straight away.  It’s for sale for only €60,000 through HomesGoFast.com.

Maybe an attractive three-bedroom house in Bulgaria would suit your tastes instead?  The property is located in the village of Stoykite which is 10km from the famous Pamporovo ski resort – and the village even has its own cabin lift to the resort.  The house needs internal completion and is actually one of a pair – so you could buy both, enjoy one yourself and let the other?  The properties are well built, have stunning views, are in a pretty mountainous setting and each comes with a spacious garden area.  The properties are on the market for €56,990 through Cheap-Bulgarian-House.co.uk – or maybe you could buy both for €100,000 with some negotiation?

If you’re looking for a more traditional location instead, then what about France and the Rhone-Alpes region in particular – this is an especially popular region with skiers and means your property could rent very well and for a decent premium?  The property for sale is in the ski resort of La Joue du Loup in the Dévoluy area of the Hautes-Alpes department of the Southern Alps region.  The property is in a lift served area that extends from 1,500 metres to 2,500 metres and you’re right on the doorstep of 100 km of lift served runs, 80 km of cross-country trails and a fabulous snow park. 

For sale through FindHomeAbroad.com, the property for sale is an apartment in a new 3 star development just 350 yards from the ski lifts – it comes with a 10-year new-build guarantee as well as reduced legal fees. 
The development has been built to respect the traditional mountain-style architecture of the region and it is located in a tranquil area of the town.  The apartment for sale has excellent views, it’s close to all the resort’s facilities and it comes fully furnished and equipped.  You can sleep 4 people, it’s for sale for €69,750 and between 3 and 5 weeks of rental a year will pay for your investment!

Clearly it is still possible to buy affordable and profitable property abroad therefore – you just need to dig a little deeper and work perhaps a little harder to get your property seen by prospective tenants.  Alternatively, you could just let it out to family and friends, enjoy it yourself and be done with it!
