An extraordinary waterfront property

Located on the shores of Lake Geneva in Nyon, this villa, built in 1950, will charm nature lovers. For although it’s just a few steps from the Rive neighborhood, the villa offers a powerful sense of freedom and escape thanks to its location—strategically facing south and opening out onto the lake and Mont Blanc. Like a landscape painting by Courbet—where one need only step right into the scene—the impression of being able to reach out and touch the mountains across the way is striking. Truly on the water’s edge, the 2,133 m² property features one of the region’s largest private marinas, with several mooring spots, and a garden that rivals those bordering Lake Maggiore. A variety of trees and flowers are carefully tended throughout the year. The villa, with 400 m² of living space, consists of two separate units and could be reconfigured through renovation and/or restoration work. The living area of the first residence features two large living rooms with decorative fireplaces, a small reading room, a dining room with a working fireplace, and a large, fully equipped kitchen. The sleeping area, accessed by two staircases, features two bedrooms with a shower room and toilet, as well as a master suite with a bathroom featuring a shower and toilet. The second floor comprises the second living unit, consisting of a 3.5-room apartment. Note that the apartment has a rooftop balcony offering spectacular views. It is also possible to create a new entrance on the first floor near the elevator, providing a second access point to the main residence. All rooms are cleverly positioned to face the lake, allowing residents to enjoy both the view and optimal natural light throughout the day. The basement features traditional cellars and a laundry room (the latter boasts a genuine period stone fountain), as well as numerous storage rooms, a workshop, a sauna, and a utility room. Not to mention the wine cellar. Access to the lake, perfect for swimming year-round, is exceptionally pleasant, not to mention the heated pool, where you can cool off next to a furnished terrace.
