The answer

If the chalet is for private use or for rent, zakat is not obligatory on its value. Rather, it is obligatory on its income if it reaches the nisab and a full year has passed over it. However, if it is prepared for sale, it is appraised every year and zakat becomes obligatory on its value if it reaches the nisab, and its amount is a quarter of a tenth.
