For peak performance
Residents of this five-bedroom chalet in the Swiss Alps resort of Verbier have direct access to the slopes during the snow season and can keep fit with mountain hikes in the warmer months. After all that exercise, there is the opportunity to rest weary limbs and take in the picturesque views of the Combins Massif, which lies between Switzerland and Italy, from the ski-in ski-out property’s terrace, balcony and garden. The asking price is SFr 12.5mn.
For year-round swimming
This five-bedroom property in Sotogrande, Andalusia, has both indoor and outdoor pools, so you can keep up with your lengths whatever the weather. There is a gym next to the indoor pool, or you can relax at the poolside bar after an outdoor swim. The main four-bedroom house has a cinema, plus a separate one-bedroom cottage for guests. The villa, which has views over the golf course at La Reserva country club, is priced at €17.9mn.
For tennis and walking
Beautifully manicured gardens and an all-weather tennis court surrounded by a high hedge are just some of the exceptional aspects of this six-bedroom medieval Grade II*-listed country house. The home, in Kent, south-east England, has a snug that could be used as a seventh bedroom, and 67 acres of grounds, with features including a pond, a sunken rose garden and its own bridge. A study room that opens on to the garden can be repurposed as a gym. On the market for £5.5mn.
For tee time
There is no excuse for the new owners of this 12-bedroom property in the Bahamas not to practise their swing: the home adjoins the 16th hole of the neighbouring Ocean Club championship golf course in Paradise Island, Nassau. The other side of the estate faces the sea and has direct access onto the beach. The property, which is on the market for $17mn, has a tennis court and swimming pool, and is offered with furnishings.
For indoor games
This six-bedroom home in a gated community in Park City, Utah, features an indoor sports court set up for a wide range of activities including basketball, volleyball and pickleball. If those are not your sports of choice, the house also has a bowling alley, golf simulator and gym. And you need not miss out on the surrounding mountainside scenery while exercising inside: the indoor swimming pool extends outside the home. The property is on the market for $50mn.
