Description

? Property Description

Set on the French shores of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) and just minutes from the city of Geneva, this exceptional 18th-century manor house is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic estate of true character in one of the most sought-after areas of the Lake Geneva basin.

Located in Douvaine (74140), on the prime Geneva-Évian axis, the property was built in 1783 and formerly served as a notarial residence. It perfectly embodies the refined architectural style of the Léman region, offering elegance, symmetry and timeless proportions.

The manor is officially listed as a Historic Monument, with protected architectural elements including the main façade, roofs, entrance gate and several remarkable interior rooms. This status allows, subject to approval, access to heritage grants and support schemes, providing a secure and prestigious framework for a sensitive restoration project.

Arranged in the traditional format of a "maison de maître", between a formal courtyard and landscaped grounds, the property currently comprises two independent apartments across three levels, plus over 200 sqm of convertible attic space, offering significant potential for redevelopment.

The estate sits within nearly 6,000 sqm of land, unusually generous for this sector, and includes a barn, former stables, and a separate caretaker's house with its own private garden. The setting, orientation and scale make this an ideal candidate for a prestigious family residence, luxury guest accommodation or a heritage-led rehabilitation project.

With Est to south-west exposure, the manor enjoys abundant natural light and a peaceful environment, all while being only a short drive from Geneva's border and international connectivity.

The property is presented by Emmanuelle Rosset, luxury property specialist, in association with 3G IMMO Prestige , an established French real estate network with strong cross-border expertise.
