A timeless manor house, perched above the fog
"In Saint-Cierges, in the hills above Gros-de-Vaud, the existence of a rare estate is revealed to those seeking much more than just a house: a balanced, luminous place steeped in history."
This residence, built in 1889 and now fully renovated, overlooks the village. Having escaped any heritage listing, this beautiful building benefits from a precious freedom of development, a prerogative almost impossible to find for this type of property. Surrounded by a walled park of nearly 6,000 square meters, the property enjoys breathtaking views of the Fribourg Pre-Alps and the Jura mountain range. Facing south-southwest and situated at an altitude of 750 meters, this manor house, rising above the mist of Lake Geneva, enjoys exceptional sunshine.
Just twenty minutes from Lausanne, accessible via a consistently smooth road, the estate welcomes you – after passing through its motorized gate – into a vast courtyard bordered by terraces, stone pools, and tree-lined pathways, leading to the main house and summer pavilion. Everything in this place evokes refinement, discretion, and tranquility.
The main building offers nearly 500 square meters of living space spread over several levels, including a two-story living room with a winter garden, a suite with a jacuzzi, a wine cellar, bright bedrooms, mezzanines, a sauna, and potential for expansion already authorized by a building permit. Stables? A large reception area? An art studio? The choice is yours.
Surrounding the house are century-old trees, an orchard, a private wood, a vegetable garden, and cypress hedges, ensuring complete privacy. The outbuildings are equally impressive: an independent studio, three garages with attics, a pavilion, a workshop, and a kennel. The estate extends to the edge of a forest spanning over two hundred hectares.
The details, however, are reserved only for the most curious. What if this place became yours?
