Something I hear a lot from our British/US/Asian owners around Lake Annecy: "I used to spend five months there. Now I'm down to 90 days and I worry about leaving the house empty for so long."
The 90-day rule has changed everything for many of you — not just travel plans, but the peace of mind that comes with being close to your property.
A few things that help owners manage longer absences:
🔑 A reliable local contact with a spare key
📸 Regular photo check-ins (inside and out)
🔧 A vetted list of local tradespeople for emergencies
📋 A simple seasonal checklist adapted to mountain properties
If you're navigating this and want to share what's worked for you — or what hasn't — I'd love to hear. I'm based in Annecy and know this area well."
