EVIAN SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY presents: This exceptional property, steeped in history, boasts a magnificent 14-room architect-designed villa ideally situated by the water, nestled within a vast wooded terrain of 6,000m2. Designed by architect Maurice Novarina, this remarkable residence, described as "my most beautiful villa" by its creator, was built in 1965 and completely renovated in 2011. It enjoys an exceptional panoramic view of Lake Geneva, with a U-shaped lakeside extending over approximately 100 meters, entirely private and unique in its kind. Exclusive features of this property include a registered private port (restricted access to third parties), a private beach reserved for occupants, a solid 20-meter long and 2-meter wide jetty, as well as a double private slipway with facilitated launching thanks to a motorized trolley. The house itself is situated just 8 meters from the water, immediately adjacent to the private port. This historic residence adjoins the Bains d'Amphion, now the Hôtel des Princes, and was once acquired by Marie Walewska, the famous "Polish woman" of Napoleon I. Later, it passed into the hands of Alexandre Walewski, the natural son of Napoleon I (1810-1868), before being purchased in 1874 by Prince Grégoire Bibesco Bassaraba de Brancovan. Under his ownership, the port was developed and became a popular meeting place for music and poetry enthusiasts, frequented by personalities such as Marcel Proust, the prince and princess of Polignac (daughter of Singer), as described in the memoirs of poet Anna de Noailles, daughter of Prince Grégoire Bibesco Bassaraba de Brancovan. The garden of this property is meticulously maintained, adorned with a fountain, waterfalls, and numerous century-old trees. Additionally, its proximity to Geneva, less than 50 minutes from the city center and an hour from the airport, makes it an exceptionally well-located residence.
