Eco friendly build
As well as offering luxury mountain living, the apartments at Le Cantarella are also highly energy efficient. The developer has constructed a system that siphons heat off the sewage pipes that pass across the site and uses those kilojoules to generate energy,…

which is then used for the central heating and hot water throughout the development as well as heating the swimming pool all year round.

This is a pioneering eco-friendly technique, the first of its kind to be included within a property development in canton Vaud, and any excess energy that is siphoned off is given back to the commune. This system also reduces CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by 150 tons per annum and results in energy savings of around 60% for the owners.

Overall, the combination of high quality luxury properties, with a full list of amenities set in picturesque location makes this an exciting opportunity for both investors and owner occupiers.
