Exceptional manor at the gates of Geneva
LAC LEMAN SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY presents:
In the heart of Douvaine, in immediate proximity to Geneva, this residence built in 1783 formerly a notarial house stands out as one of the finest examples of 18th-century Lémanic architecture. Listed as a Historic Monument, the property benefits from protection covering its main façade, its roofing, its entrance gate, as well as several emblematic interior rooms, including the dining room with its arched cupboard and the first-floor vestibule (land registry D 880, decree dated 29 June 1995). These features may, under certain conditions, grant access to dedicated heritage-preservation subsidies.
Designed in the traditional style of a private mansion, set between a ceremonial courtyard and garden, the residence unfolds over three levels and currently comprises two apartments, supplemented by more than 200 m² of fully convertible attic space. The grounds—remarkably large for this area—extend over nearly 6,000 m² and include a barn, former stables, and an independent caretaker’s house with a private garden.
Facing south / southwest, the property offers exceptional potential for reconfiguration: a distinguished family residence, a project to divide into several premium units, or a targeted heritage-oriented development for investors seeking both historical charm and a strategic location. Generous volumes, preserved architectural features, and an authentic atmosphere endow this manor with an incomparable character.
A rare opportunity on the market, at Geneva’s doorstep.
