This property is situated at the water?s edge, in the commune of Prangins, near Nyon. Access is very easy and extremely discreet. The south-facing property enjoys maximum natural light throughout the day. Totally private with no neighbours in sight. Geneva
and the airport are just a half hour drive away. All facilities can be found within a radius of 5 kilometres (city of Nyon, shopping centres, schools, motorway access). The house was constructed in 1896, for Jean-Philippe Worth, son of Charles Frederic Worth,
couturiers of the Second Empire. It was used as a summer residence as the owner had a similar property near Paris on the banks of the Seine. Recent modifications and renovations have retained many historic details whilst adapting the house to modern standards
of comfort. With its impressive volume (more than 7,000 m3), this building is constructed half over the water, resting on semi-circular arches supported by Meillerie stone pillars solidly anchored in Lake Geneva. The brick walls are extensively covered with
dark wood, giving the château a mysterious air. The wooded parkland, containing various species, some of them rare, is bordered by a river feeding a stream that in turn feeds a pond. The pathways and numerous bridges that span this stream give an overall impression
of bucolic charm. One of them leads to a large semi-buried aquarium that could be restored. The tennis court is just waiting to be refurbished to welcome new players. Over the years this property has retained all its charm and the spirit of the Belle Epoque,
although the owners have made various transformations to satisfy contemporary needs for comfort and convenience.
