BARNES MORGES IS PLEASED TO PRESENT YOU WITH AN EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: A sneak preview of this discreet yet spacious 18th century manor house, combining elegance and sobriety, with around 1,000 m² spread over three floors. Situated between the manor house and a luxurious country estate, this residence is designed to be both family-friendly and functional, with undeniable charm (terracotta tiled floors, oak parquet flooring, five fireplaces). It offers 21 generous rooms, including 12 bedrooms, such as a 56.5 m² suite, with 8 bath/shower rooms and 4 separate sanitary units. The layout is optimised thanks to the two staircases serving the different levels, and the presence of a lift serving all 3 levels. This unique location lends itself equally well to receptions and to peaceful living, benefiting from magnificent parkland close to a charming village and all the town's amenities. Nestling in over 16,000 m² of bucolic parkland, this property is a veritable jewel of greenery, with plenty of space to relax on the terraces surrounding the house. The garden is adorned with century-old trees, including beech, chestnut, lime, ginkgo, maple and oak. The heated swimming pool is a key feature of the outdoor relaxation area, set away from the main house and its terrace. On the practical side, there are five possible entrances, including direct access to a guest house or service accommodation, linked to the main residence, as well as two garages and outdoor parking for a total of 10 to 15 cars. The main orientation is to the south, offering optimum exposure. This property has been given architectural grade 2 status, giving it a unique character. In fact, it bears a trace of history, given that it is the prestigious "La Paisible" residence, which was Audrey Hepburn's last home.

This superb 7.5-room detached house was built in 1940 and completely renovated in 2005. It is located in one of La Tour-de-Peilz's quietest and most sought-after neighborhoods. The villa was designed to exacting specifications by the architect, both in terms of the choice of materials and the coherence of the interior layout and exterior landscaping. Situated so that you can see without being seen, it offers rare privacy and a spectacular view of Lake Geneva. Spread over three levels, the property features four bedrooms, an elegant kitchen opening onto the dining room, and a vast living room with fireplace. A magnificent terrace extends the living spaces and overlooks a meticulously tended garden, offering a breathtaking view of the lake. This plot, rare in the region, gives the property an exceptional living environment.

Built in 1931 by architects Alexandre Ferenczy and Hermann Henselmann, the Villa Kenwin stands as one of the most remarkable examples of the Bauhaus movement in Switzerland. Classified as a cultural property of national importance, this property underwent exemplary restoration in 1987, respectful of the original spirit and modernist principles that guided its design. Located in the heart of a landscaped park of over 5,200 m² overlooking the Vaud Riviera, the villa offers approximately 550 m² of living space spread over four levels. Its panoramic rooftop terrace provides a spectacular view of Lake Geneva and the Alps. A tree-lined driveway leads to the main entrance, highlighted by shades of blue evoking the Bauhaus's chromatic research. The lower ground floor houses service areas, while the main level opens onto a large hall bathed in natural light, leading to a kitchen illuminated by a zenithal glass roof and an impressive living room with its volumes: 150 m² of reception space with a ceiling height of 5 meters. The living room, structured by a mezzanine with curved lines, is punctuated by a finely crafted metal railing and a horizontal 15-meter bay window framing the magnificent view of the lake. Under the gallery, a glazed library creates an intimate and refined atmosphere. Upstairs, an office/projection room extends the creative spirit of the place. The top level is dedicated to the sleeping area: six bedrooms and three bathrooms, distributed along a U-shaped corridor, reminiscent of the cabins of a modern ship. The furniture and interior details, sober and functional, pay homage to the Bauhaus aesthetic: pieces inspired by Charlotte Perriand, geometric lighting, and integrated furniture underline the timeless purity of this architectural masterpiece.
