Quand L'histoire Devient Design : Maison Ancienne Métamorphosée Quand L'histoire Devient Design : Une Histoire

Ideally located in the sought-after village of Gilly, this exceptional property is designed for architecture and design enthusiasts. Behind its private gate, the residence combines the absolute privacy of a village home with the spectacular volumes of a contemporary loft. An inner courtyard includes two covered garages and parking space for four additional vehicles, ensuring uncompromising comfort.

The interior design boldly embraces modernity while honoring the soul of the original building. Massive exposed beams and a stunning raw stone arch define the space, giving it a unique graphic strength.

Upon entering, the impressive ceiling height immediately immerses you in a bright, airy environment. The first living area centers around a double-sided fireplace and opens onto a large office or artist’s studio. This centerpiece, reminiscent of an art gallery, is flooded with natural light thanks to a dramatic light column. A dressing room, guest WC, and a full ground-floor suite with a dedicated bathroom complete the functionality of this level.

The upper floor is dedicated to rest and privacy. It features three spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The master suite occupies half of this floor, arranged enfilade with its dressing room and bathroom. Natural light fills the space through skylights integrated into the majestic cathedral ceiling, creating geometric shadows on the wooden structures.

The lower level is the social heart of the home, also highly functional with several separate storage areas and an additional guest WC. Designed as a contemporary open space, it combines a high-end kitchen, living room, and dining room to form a second living area. The space opens directly onto an intimate, bucolic garden, a true green sanctuary hidden from view.

Fully renovated in 2013 with premium finishes, this turnkey property perfectly blends historic charm with modern comfort.

Located in the highly sought-after La Côte region, the village of Gilly offers a peaceful lifestyle free from urban disturbances. This tranquil haven benefits from excellent access to key transport routes: the A1 highway and the Rolle and Gland train stations are less than 10 minutes away by car, facilitating daily commutes to the economic centers of Geneva (including its international airport) and Lausanne.

Ideal for both local and international families, the village has its own public school facilities. For private education, world-renowned institutions like the prestigious Institut Le Rosey in Rolle are nearby. Additionally, students living in Gilly attending the La Châtaigneraie campus benefit from organized routes and dedicated transport, greatly easing family logistics.

This unique location allows for seasonal enjoyment. In warmer months, the shores of Lake Geneva, its beaches, and water sports are just a 5-minute drive away. In winter or on weekends, the call of the great outdoors is equally close, with the Alps and Jura ski resorts reachable within 90 minutes, offering a perfect balance of practical living, nature, and tranquility.
