There are properties that go beyond the notion of residence. Le Château El Masr belongs to that rare category of residences where architecture, history and the art of living meet to create a unique experience. Dissimulated within a landscaped setting of over 4,200 m², on the prized heights of Cologny, the château dominates Geneva and Lake Geneva with a remarkable presence. Built in the late 19th century by Charles Flood, a Scottish entrepreneur who built his fortune in Egypt, Château El Masr tells a singular story. Its name, meaning the Egyptian, bears witness to its owner's deep connection with the land that inspired his imagination and ambition. Thought of as a prestigious residence, the château expresses a neo-Tudor architecture of rare sophistication, enriched by medieval references and influences from the East. Every façade, every opening and every decorative detail contributes to an architectural composition that is unique in Geneva. Behind its historic walls lies a residence of over 1,000 m² of living space, offering generous volumes and an atmosphere worthy of the great European houses. The property offers: 8 rooms, including suites of remarkable proportions 7 bathrooms large reception rooms bathed in light a library a kitchen designed for large receptions a private office installed at the top of the tower, enjoying an exceptional panoramic view an indoor pool independent spaces for staff several garages and outbuildings Arriving at the château is already an experience: a majestic entrance leads to an interior where the nobility of materials is expressed through a spectacular marble staircase, impressive volumes and a succession of spaces designed for entertaining. One of the property's most remarkable features is its historic tower, a true signature of the estate. A second tower completes this exceptional ensemble, reinforcing the almost romantic character of the property. Over the years, Château El Masr has undergone a highly demanding restoration. The challenge was to preserve its soul while meeting the highest contemporary expectations. Specialized craftsmen worked on each element with particular care: volumes, woodwork, ornaments, fixtures, stonework and decor have been restored to their original brilliance. Some details testify to the level of exclusivity of this residence: bespoke artisan creations, decorative elements from Europe, noble materials and finishes carried out with absolute respect for the history of the place. Today, Château El Masr offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a property that is more than just an address or a surface area: it's a piece of Geneva's heritage, a residence of character and a family residence capable of spanning generations. A confidential property for those seeking uniqueness, elegance and a true architectural signature. Full dossier and further information on request.
