Description
This magnificent property of about three hectares enjoys an exceptional, dominant position, sheltered from views and offering a magnificent view of the lake and the Alps. The property is ideally located, close to all amenities and about three hundred meters from the lake, in one of the most desirable areas of the Montreux Riviera, between the lake and the mountains, with a wide range of sports, leisure and cultural activities. Access is via a majestic gate which opens onto a long driveway leading to the L-shaped main buildings which include a manor house and a large caretaker's house. Several other outbuildings, cottages, a swimming pool and tennis court complete the property. Originally the property was the holiday home of a large family from the region, whose name it bears. It was built in the early 20th century and renovated in the 1950s. The main building is spread over four floors and a basement, allowing the creation of remarkable spaces for reception, rest, relaxation, spa, home cinema, basement and more. It is an exceptional property for its location, the quality of its landscaping, the size of the surrounding park and its potential for repurposing. The two lots of the property, totaling more than 31,000m², are currently earmarked for indefinite use pending the new Montreux building regulations and for very low density residential use in accordance with the old building regulations. The main house is listed as Note 4 in the Architectural List of Canton deVaud, which does not warrant intervention by the Department of Monuments and Sites. Due to this fact and the large volume of the two main buildings of over 6,700 m3, extensive conversions or even the demolition of the current buildings and the construction of an exceptional contemporary home are conceivable. In any case, the renovation will bring the mansion back to its former glory and make it, in our opinion, one of the most magnificent properties on the Swiss Riviera.Clarens, 1815 VDAExceptional property, panoramic views, house with great potential, Maison de maître, Large living space
