Unique Estates | Christie's International Real Estate presents an exceptional estate, located in the midst of incredible nature in Gilly, Switzerland. The property includes a majestic castle with an area of 1000 sq. m, as well as outbuildings (1304 sq. m) with various uses - a guesthouse, a pool house, an office and staff quarters. This historic residence offers peace and privacy among beautiful landscaped gardens and incredible views of Lake Geneva and the Alps.
The property is of historical value, as its style is inspired by the noble residences of the Touraine region. In 1724, the De Vassero family, captivated by the beauty of the surroundings, began construction of the castle, turning it into a center of intellectual and artistic life. It was a favorite place for high society gatherings and organizing lavish receptions in its gardens. Voltaire himself passed through here, and Alphonse de Lamartine stayed briefly, which adds a literary and philosophical touch to the overall appearance of the residence.
Today, the castle embodies a refined lifestyle combining history, prestige and an exceptional natural environment.
