Description
EXCEPTIONAL HISTORIC VILLA NEAR LAKE GENEVA IN MONTREUX
Set in one of Montreux's established residential environments, just moments from Lake Geneva, this exceptional historic villa combines the character and elegance of period architecture with the comfort of a comprehensive contemporary renovation.
Carefully renovated between 2021 and 2025, the residence preserves its distinctive historic character while introducing modern standards of comfort and functionality. Generous proportions, abundant natural light and a series of refined original architectural elements give the property a strong sense of heritage.
Among its notable features are restored parquet flooring, marble fireplaces, elegant mouldings and beautifully proportioned reception rooms. These elements create a sophisticated architectural setting while retaining the authentic identity of the residence.
The villa offers approximately 340 m² of living space, with generous reception areas, a fully equipped contemporary kitchen, six bedrooms and six bathrooms.
The interiors provide an elegant foundation for a refined classical or contemporary-classical interior scheme, allowing a future owner to furnish the residence according to their own aesthetic while respecting its historic character.
The property is surrounded by approximately 1,130 m² of mature landscaped grounds. Several outdoor areas provide space for dining and relaxation within a private and peaceful garden setting.
A garage and additional exterior parking spaces complete the property.
The villa is offered for sale unfurnished.
Acquisition by foreign buyers may be considered, subject to applicable Swiss regulations, authorisation requirements and the individual circumstances of the purchaser.
