Domaine D'exception — Castello DI Merlinge

Located in the heart of the Geneva countryside, in the municipality of Meinier, Château de Merlinge is one of Geneva’s most remarkable heritage properties. Nestled within an estate of nearly 49 hectares, this historic site offers a setting of rare exclusivity, where heritage, nature, and the art of living come together in perfect harmony.

Mentioned as early as 1304 as a noble estate linked to the priory of Saint-Victor, the Merlinge estate has passed through the hands of illustrious families such as the de la Mare and de Loys, who helped shape its history and identity. The current castle, dating back to the 17th century, has undergone several restoration campaigns over time, the latest renovation in 2000, preserving its architectural richness and authenticity.

Spanning nearly 1,500 m² of living space, this exceptional residence includes 20 rooms, featuring 12 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Most rooms enjoy a privileged orientation with magnificent unobstructed views of the countryside, the Jura, and surrounding mountains. Molded ceilings, frescoes, period woodwork, sculpted cornices, and a majestic private chapel in Louis XV style highlight the unique character of this property.

The estate also includes 11 outbuildings, harmoniously distributed across the property, offering numerous usage possibilities. An equestrian stable, four garages or covered boxes, and a 20-meter swimming pool complete the exceptional amenities of this extraordinary estate.

The grounds reveal an exceptional park composed of landscaped gardens, vast meadows, and natural areas totaling over 485,000 m², along with a vegetable garden, orchard, greenhouse, and two protected chapels, bearing witness to the estate’s rich history. Every perspective showcases a preserved environment where absolute tranquility reigns.

Passed down through generations of distinguished Geneva families, Château de Merlinge today represents a unique heritage, destined for lovers of the most prestigious historic residences.

An iconic property combining heritage, elegance, and history, offering one of the rarest real estate opportunities in Switzerland.
