Lavaux: Iconic villa with views of Lake Geneva and the Alps, on a property of nearly 1.6 ha
In the heart of Lavaux, this remarkable estate is part of a 13-hectare estate comprising three properties. Set on a private lot of nearly 16,000 m², it offers complete privacy, with no direct views from neighboring properties, and is set against a backdrop of Lake Geneva, the Alps, and the vineyards.
A private driveway nearly 600 meters long leads to the estate and to this elegant residence, built in 1905 according to the plans of an American architect.
Completely renovated in 2016, furnished, and ready to move into immediately, the house offers over 600 m² of living space.
Originally designed to accommodate professional musicians, it charms with its spacious rooms and period features: hardwood floors, moldings, wood paneling, fireplaces, and a remarkable wooden staircase. It also served as a residence for several months for King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand (Rama IX) and his family.
Its 14.5 rooms include 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The master suite consists of two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom with a shower, with direct access to a spacious terrace. The reception areas open onto a south-facing terrace and the park.
The perfectly maintained outdoor areas feature English-style lawns, century-old trees, and landscape lighting. The spacious basement features 7 rooms, including a garage, a large storage room, a wine cellar, and an orangery.
Historic charm meets modern comfort: an automatic gate, a recent boiler, a La Cornue stove, electric blinds, air conditioning in the master suite, and high-speed Wi-Fi.
Just 15 minutes from Lausanne and Vevey and 20 minutes from Montreux, schools, shops, the train station, and highway access are all nearby. Private school shuttle buses stop directly at the property, while tennis and golf are easily accessible.
