The 12th-century stones preserve the memory of bygone eras, creating a unique dialogue with the light of Lake Geneva. From the majestic medieval fireplace to the windows facing the mountain peaks, time seems suspended.
This medieval castle, offering approximately 150 sqm of living space (Carrez law) on three levels in Saint-Cergues, features a heated swimming pool, a landscaped outdoor area of approximately 460 sqm, and several outbuildings.
Less than five minutes from the town center and the Moniaz border crossing, and three kilometers from Machilly train station with connections to Geneva in under forty minutes, this 12th-century castle, one of three lots in a small, charming co-ownership, is a truly exceptional property.
Access to the residence is via an external stone staircase on the first floor, leading to a spacious 75 sqm living room. The reception area combines the living room, dining room, and an open-plan kitchen with a central island, creating a warm atmosphere with an east-west orientation. The preservation of heritage features (French-style ceilings, exposed stone walls, natural stone flooring, and a monumental fireplace) is combined with modern comforts. A bathroom adorned with period terracotta tiles, featuring a freestanding bathtub and porcelain fixtures, completes this first living level.
The sleeping quarters are located within the building's tower and are spread over two upper levels.
On the first floor, the master suite benefits from dual aspect windows offering views of Lake Geneva and the Jura Mountains. It extends into a private relaxation area equipped with a sauna. This area can also be converted into a dressing room, depending on your needs.
On the second and top floor, beneath the exposed beams, are two additional bedrooms and an office currently used as a playroom. I
n the basement, additional amenities include a storage room and a vaulted wine cellar of over 16 square meters with a gravel floor.
The exterior, offering approximately 460 square meters of private space, is also remarkable: a heated swimming pool, sheltered by a telescopic structure, allows for swimming from spring to autumn. It is bordered by a stone terrace with a solar shower. In addition, a paved terrace sheltered by a pergola provides an outdoor dining area with a pizza oven and griddle.
Finally, two outdoor parking spaces complete the property.
The property is distinguished by the quality of its materials and the improvements made to ensure remarkable energy efficiency for a property of this era. Heating is provided by a high-performance communal heat pump with individual meters. All the windows and doors have been replaced, the wall insulation has been reinforced, and the roof has been renovated, thus combining modern comfort with environmental performance.
This prestigious residence is part of a charming condominium complex of only three habitable units (also available for sale).
This rare property, just five minutes from the border and less than 40 minutes from Geneva city center, is a decisive advantage for daily commutes to Switzerland and represents a unique opportunity to acquire a property steeped in history with modern comforts.
