EVIAN SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY presents: 'Château de Buffavent' 15th-Century Noble Residence in the Heart of the Chablais Region Built by the Lords of Langin, Château de Buffavent is a fortified manor and a landmark of Savoyard heritage. Located in Lully, near Geneva and Lake Geneva, the château has been listed on the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques (Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments) since 1944. Set on a natural terrace at the heart of a 10-hectare estate, the château is distinguished by its robust silhouette flanked by four towers—one of which was reconstructed in the 19th century. Its remarkable surroundings include landscaped gardens, an arboretum, a deer park, a tennis court, a mini football pitch, and a basketball area, creating a unique harmony between nature and refinement.

This high-potential estate can remain a prestigious private residence, but it also lends itself to various projects. It could be transformed into a charming hotel or an exclusive venue for weddings, seminars, or private events. The main structural work was entirely redone in the 2010s. As of today, approximately 75% of the château's renovation is complete, including the partitioning of future bedrooms, the installation of an elevator, underfloor heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems, bathrooms and toilets, as well as windows and doors. Available on-site are stored materials including parquet flooring, sanitary equipment (toilets, bathtubs, sinks), stone, tiling, ventilation systems, service lifts, electrical equipment, furniture, and lighting fixtures. Works on the farm building (annex) are approximately 20% complete (concrete support structures are finished, and the entire framework is new). As for the exterior works, they are about 80% complete (sports fields need to be finalized, outdoor lighting and fencing still require completion). Finally, a recent change of use authorization now permits hospitality and restaurant activities. Discover this prestigious property brimming with potential.
