Chateau Historique Pieds Dans L'eau Sur Le Lac De Morat

Facing the tranquil shores of Lake Morat, Château de Vallamand stands with timeless elegance, a discreet witness to three centuries of history.

Nestled in a private park of over 26,000 m² descending to the shore, the property combines nobility, light, and serenity.

Built in 1725 by the von Graffenried family, a prominent Bernese patrician lineage, the château embodies a lifestyle where balance and harmony take precedence over ostentation. Its symmetrical façade and refined details reflect the restraint of late Vaudois Baroque.

Under the von Graffenried family, the château reached its peak and later welcomed Georges Cailler, heir to the famous chocolatier and aviation pioneer. Even today, the estate retains an atmosphere of prestige and tranquility, nestled among century-old trees and the lake’s reflection.

Inside, generous, light-filled spaces are enhanced by antique parquet floors, period fireplaces, and tall windows overlooking the lake. Spread over several levels, the property includes two independent apartments that can easily be combined into a large family residence.

The renovated East apartment features:
- A living room with fireplace and terrace
- A convivial kitchen
- Bedrooms including a master suite

The West apartment, in need of renovation, offers:
- Beautiful reception rooms
- A dining room
- Several bedrooms
- An attic library

The vaulted cellars recall the estate’s winemaking past, with an old press, two wine cellars, and technical rooms. A three-level outbuilding completes the ensemble, with storage spaces, a large reception hall, and an independent studio for guests or a caretaker.

Although there is no docking port, the property allows boats to be brought directly onto the grounds, ensuring privileged and intimate access to the lake.

A symbol of elegance and permanence, Château de Vallamand is for those seeking more than a property—a unique refuge imbued with meaning, culture, and harmony.
