Property of the Week: Genevoise Countryside Château

This impeccably restored Genevois château is the fairytale oasis we have all allowed ourselves to dream of, embodying luxurious European living.

Set within 5.81 acres of historic countryside and positioned on the edge of a charming period village surrounded by vineyards, this impressive eight-bedroom château offers sweeping views of La Salève and the Alps beyond. It has been lovingly restored to its former glory, preserving its remarkable period features while being thoughtfully equipped for modern living.

With approximately 1,500 sq m of living space and a private plot extending to more than 20,000 sq m, there are few finer opportunities to become part of the Genevois countryside. One could while away the hours in the expansive grounds, strolling across manicured lawns where sculpted topiary lines a garden walk leading to a central fountain, or enjoying a leisurely afternoon on the tennis court before retreating to the sun-soaked swimming pool for a refreshing dip. A helipad welcomes arriving guests, while generous terraces and wide, level gardens are perfectly suited to hosting on any scale. An impressive driveway completes the sense of arrival, ensuring there are truly no limits to this home’s entertaining potential. It is a vision board brought to life, and one would be hard pressed to find anything missing.

Inside, the grandeur continues. The principal suite comprises two bedrooms, a dressing room and a bathroom, complemented by eight further bedrooms, six bathrooms and six reception rooms. The interiors are ornate yet timeless, with gold finishes and original fireplaces throughout. Tall ceilings and French windows allow natural light to flood in, inviting the mountain air and uninterrupted views inside. Elsewhere, a private cinema room caters to the occasional grey day, while a sunken wine cellar sets the scene for intimate evenings of wine and cheese.

It is an exceptional property of rare calibre. Once acquired, homes of this stature are seldom relinquished.
