Chateau Médiéval Aux Portes De Genève : L'histoire Rénovée

The 12th-century stones preserve the memory of the eras they have witnessed, offering a unique dialogue with the light of Lake Léman. From the majestic medieval fireplace to the openings facing the peaks, time seems suspended.

This 12th-century castle in Saint-Cergues offers 149.82 m² of living space (158 m² on the ground) across three levels. It features a heated pool, an approximately 460 m² landscaped outdoor area, and several outbuildings.

Located less than five minutes from the town center and the Moniaz customs, and three kilometers from Machilly station with trains to Geneva in under forty minutes, this 12th-century castle is one of three lots in a small character-filled co-ownership and is truly an exceptional property.

Access to the residence is on the first floor via an exterior stone staircase leading to a spacious 75 m² living area. The reception space combines the living room, dining room, and an open kitchen equipped with a central island, creating a warm atmosphere with east-west exposure. Heritage elements have been preserved, including French-style ceilings, exposed stone walls, natural stone flooring, and a monumental fireplace, all blended with modern comfort. A bathroom adorned with period terracotta tiles, featuring a clawfoot bathtub and porcelain fixtures, completes this main living level.

The sleeping area is located within the building’s tower and spans two upper levels. On the first floor, the master suite benefits from dual exposure with views of Lake Léman and the Jura mountains. It extends to a private relaxation area equipped with a sauna, which can also be converted into a dressing room if desired.

On the second and top floor, under the exposed roof beams, there are two additional bedrooms and an office currently used as a playroom.

In the basement, additional amenities include a cellar for storage and a vaulted tasting cellar of over 16 m² with a gravel floor.

The outdoor arrangements, offering about 460 m² of private space, are equally remarkable:
- A heated pool with a heat pump, sheltered by a telescopic structure, allowing swimming from spring to autumn.
- A stone terrace with a solar shower borders the pool.
- A paved terrace covered by a pergola hosts an outdoor dining area with a pizza oven and plancha grill.

Finally, two outdoor parking spaces complete the property.

The estate stands out for the quality of its materials and the improvements made to ensure remarkable energy comfort for a property of this age. Heating is provided by an efficient collective heat pump with individual metering. All joinery has been replaced, insulation reinforced through the walls and roof renovation, combining modern comfort with environmental performance.

This prestigious residence is part of a characterful co-ownership of only three residential lots (also available for sale).

This rare property, just five minutes from the customs and less than 40 minutes from downtown Geneva, is a decisive advantage for daily commuting to Switzerland and represents a unique opportunity to acquire a historic home with contemporary comfort.
