A mansion located outside of time, perched above the fog
"In Saint-Cierges, on the heights of Gros-de-Vaud, the existence of a rare estate is revealed to those looking for much more than a simple house: a balanced, bright place steeped in history."
This residence, built in 1889—now fully renovated—overlooks the village. Eschewing any heritage classification, this beautiful building enjoys precious freedom of development, a prerogative almost unavailable for this type of property. Surrounded by an enclosed park of nearly six thousand square meters, the property enjoys breathtaking views of the Fribourg Pre-Alps and the Jura mountain range. Facing south-southwest and located at an altitude of seven hundred and fifty meters, this mansion, overlooking the fog of the Lake Geneva basin, benefits from exceptional sunshine.
Just twenty minutes from Lausanne, accessible by a constantly flowing road, the estate welcomes you—after passing through its motorized gate—into a vast courtyard bordered by terraces, stone pools, and tree-lined paths, leading to the large house and summer pavilion. Everything about this place evokes refinement, discretion, and calm.
The main building boasts nearly 500 square meters of living space on several levels, including a lounge with a two-story winter garden, a suite with a jacuzzi, a wine cellar, bright bedrooms, mezzanines, a sauna, and expansion possibilities already authorized by a building permit. Stables? Large reception area? Art studio? The choice is yours.
All around, century-old trees, an orchard, private woods, a vegetable garden, and cypress hedges ensure privacy. The outbuildings are not to be outdone: a separate studio, three garages with attics, a pavilion, a workshop, and a kennel. The estate extends to the edge of a forest of over two hundred hectares.
The details, however, are reserved for the most curious. What if this place became yours?
