The Timeless Elegance of a Grand Residence Overlooking Lake Geneva

At the end of a majestic private driveway lined with century-old trees, behind its original period gate, Villa de Coppet reveals itself in a setting of rare elegance, offering beautiful views over the lake, the Alps and the vineyards of Lavaux. This historic residence enjoys remarkable privacy while remaining easily accessible. The estate has been carefully preserved by the current owner, striking a subtle balance between countryside charm, authenticity and modern comfort. Generous volumes, original parquet flooring and ornate ceilings give the property a timeless character. The ground floor features two reception lounges with functional fireplaces, a dining room connected to a contemporary kitchen via a service pantry, and direct access to a large south-facing terrace overlooking the park. A remarkable staircase leads to the first floor, which includes a bright master suite with terrace, dressing room, private sitting room and bathroom, along with several additional bedrooms and shower rooms. The top floor, accessible independently, offers versatile spaces including a lounge, office, playroom, bedrooms and bathrooms. The basement comprises a fully equipped laundry room, a wine cellar, storage areas, a garage for two vehicles and an additional room adaptable to various uses. Built of brick and dressed stone by an American architect, the property was originally designed to accommodate professional musicians, in line with the acoustic principles of its time. Fully renovated in 2015 under architectural supervision, with further enhancements completed in 2025, this residence of approximately 600 sqm of living space beautifully combines heritage and modernity. Schools, shops, transport links and the Lavaux tennis club and golf course are nearby. Vevey is 10 minutes away and Lausanne 20 minutes.
