When History Becomes Design: A Historic Home Transformed

Ideally situated in the highly sought-after village of Gilly, this exceptional property is tailored for architecture and design enthusiasts. Behind its private gate, the residence effortlessly combines the absolute discretion of a village home with the spectacular volumes of a contemporary loft. An inner courtyard features two covered garage spaces and additional parking for up to four vehicles, setting the foundation for uncompromising comfort. The interior design successfully achieves a bold modern look while celebrating the soul of the original building. Gigantic exposed structural beams and a magnificent raw stone archway structure the space, lending it a unique graphic strength.

From the very entrance, the impressive ceiling height offers immediate immersion into an airy, light-filled universe. A first living space revolves around a double-sided fireplace before opening onto a vast home office or artist’s atelier. This centerpiece, with the feel of an art gallery, is bathed in magnificent light thanks to a dramatic natural light well. A first dressing room, a guest WC, and a complete ground-floor suite with its dedicated bathroom perfectly round out the functionality of this level.

The upper floor is dedicated to rest and privacy. It comprises three spacious bedrooms, each featuring its own en-suite bathroom. The master suite alone occupies half of this level, thoughtfully arranged with its dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Natural light is omnipresent throughout, captured by skylights integrated into the majestic cathedral ceilings, creating a geometric interplay of light and shadow on the wooden structures.

The lower level serves as the convivial heart of the home, while remaining highly functional thanks to several separate storage spaces and an additional guest WC. Conceived as a resolutely contemporary open space, it brings together a high-end kitchen, the living room, and the dining room to form a second welcoming living area. The boundaries blur as the space opens directly onto an intimate, bucolic garden: a true green sanctuary completely hidden from view.

Completely renovated in 2013 with premium finishes, this turnkey property beautifully marries historic character with modern comfort.

Boasting a privileged location in the highly sought-after region of La Côte, the village of Gilly offers a peaceful, authentic setting completely preserved from urban hustle. This tranquil sanctuary nevertheless benefits from excellent connectivity to strategic transport links: the A1 highway access and the Rolle & Gland train station can both be reached in less than 10 minutes by car, allowing for effortless daily commutes to the economic hubs of Geneva (including its international airport) and Lausanne.

Perfect for both local and international families, the village features its own public school infrastructure. For private education, world-renowned institutions such as the prestigious Institut Le Rosey in Rolle are in the immediate vicinity. Furthermore, students residing in Gilly who attend the La Châtaigneraie campus benefit from organized routes and dedicated transport services, greatly simplifying family logistics.

This unique geographical positioning allows you to enjoy the best of every season. During the warmer months, the shores of Lake Geneva, its beaches, and water sports are just a 5-minute drive away. In the winter or for weekend getaways, the call of the great outdoors is just as close, with the finest ski resorts of the Alps and the Jura mountains reachable in less than 90 minutes, offering the perfect balance between practical living, nature, and serenity.
