Country house for sale in Nyon Region, Exceptional Period Estate, 1260

Description

An elegant wooded pathway leads to the large forged iron gates, which opens onto a beautiful courtyard where a centuries-old tree stands majestically. The estate covers nearly 3 hectares (part of the plot is an equestrian area) and offers long country walks through truffle oaks and other secular trees, a magnificent vegetable garden with yesteryear products, vast flat expanses of lawn, a French garden facing Mont-Blanc, all set in a private area, sheltered from prying eyes.

The mansion is an unique architectural jewel, which stands out for its authenticity and history. It was built at the end of the 18th century, and was regularly restored over the decades by renowned craftsmanship. It comprises beautifully authentic elements such as ceilings painted by Italian artists, furniture made by the Geneva decorator Jean Jaquet, wooden floors and period hangings.

The basement is composed of various storage rooms, as well as a very large vaulted cellar which the floor has been trampled on for over 200 years.
