Exceptional Historic Manor Near Geneva – Douvaine
In the heart of Douvaine, in immediate proximity to Geneva, this remarkable property-built in 1783 and formerly a notarial residence-stands as one of the finest examples of 18th-century Lake Geneva architecture. Listed as a Historic Monument, the property benefits from protected status covering its main facade, roofs, entrance gate, and several emblematic interior spaces, including the dining room with its arched built-in cupboard and the first-floor vestibule (land registry D 880, decree dated 29 June 1995). These protected elements may, subject to conditions, qualify for heritage preservation grants and subsidies.
Designed in the traditional style of a private mansion (hotel particulier), arranged between a formal courtyard and a garden, the residence is laid out over three levels and currently comprises two apartments, complemented by over 200 m2 of fully convertible attic space. The grounds, unusually expansive for the area, extend over nearly 6,000 m2 and include a barn, former stables, and an independent caretaker’s house with its own private garden.
Facing south / south-west, the property offers exceptional reconfiguration potential: A distinguished family residence, a subdivision into several high-end units, or a heritage-focused investment project for buyers seeking historical character combined with a strategic location.
Generous volumes, preserved architectural features, and an authentic atmosphere give this manor an incomparable character.
A rare opportunity on the market, at the gates of Geneva.
Douvaine is a highly sought-after town located between Lake Geneva and the Swiss border, offering direct access to Geneva while benefiting from a more tranquil, residential environment. Appreciated for its quality of life, green surroundings, and proximity to international schools and transport links, Douvaine attracts a discerning cross-border and international clientele.
Real estate in Douvaine is prized for its strategic location, strong long-term value, and rarity of character properties, making it an excellent choice for both private residences and heritage or investment projects near Geneva.
