Former 19th-century Benedictine residence with garden and outbuildings

A stone’s throw from the shores of Lake Geneva, this charming residence with a rich history, formerly owned by Benedictine monks dating back to 1820, is built on a 560 sqm plot and offers a generous surface area of approximately 546 sqm. Adorned with delicate wisteria in fine weather, this characterful building opens onto a bucolic garden, offering an ideal setting for a family home or a bed and breakfast project.

Spread over three floors, the house reveals an elegant dialogue between authenticity and uniqueness. The porch entrance leads to a cosy dining room with a stone fireplace, where the charm of the old immediately takes effect. On the half-level, a hallway enhanced by a natural stone wall leads to a convivial kitchen, opening directly onto a romantic, south-facing country garden. Adjacent to this is a shower room leading to a vaulted cellar, ideal for creating a future wellness area. An intermediate room that could be used as an office or multipurpose space leads to a laundry room with direct access to the garden.
The first floor features a large living room extended by a dining room, as well as a second kitchen. A master bedroom with bathroom opens directly onto a 23 sqm terrace. The top floor reveals four spacious bedrooms, a bathroom with adjoining dressing room, and a space dedicated to an office or reading room.

The property’s potential is greatly enhanced by a convertible attic of approximately 56 sqm and a renovated old barn with a floor area of nearly 77 sqm. The latter offers superb space under a sloping roof, highlighted by an authentic exposed farmhouse feature, leaving scope for a contemporary reinterpretation or conversion into a garage.

The property is completed by a separate duplex flat of approximately 69 sqm. Ideal for entertaining or generating rental income, it comprises a kitchen opening onto a balcony with views of the garden, a living room, and two adjoining bedrooms sharing a bathroom.

Located in the heart of a sought-after neighbourhood in an ancient medieval village, the property enjoys a peaceful setting, close to schools, the harbour and shops. Three cellars and three parking spaces complete this unique property, where spaciousness, character and history create a rare sense of emotion.
