Occupied Life Annuity. Menthon Saint Bernard. A Rare Property With Exceptional Potential.

Occupied life annuity – Menthon-Saint-Bernard
A rare property in the castle district, with garden and exceptional potential

In Menthon-Saint-Bernard, within the immediate surroundings of the castle and close to all the region’s major points of interest — the lake and beaches, shops, cycling paths, schools and ski resorts — lies a rare property for sale, rich in history and offering an exceptional living environment.

The building, which is protected, was formerly part of the castle outbuildings. It is believed to have been built in 1792 and is located within the 500-meters perimeter of Menthon-Saint-Bernard Castle. Access is via a discreet path running alongside a small river, in a particularly charming and preserved setting.

The house enjoys a magnificent view of the castle as well as a glimpse of the lake. Its fully enclosed 315 m² garden, a true rarity in this area, is accessible via a small footbridge from the house terrace. It offers an intimate and enchanting setting, ideal for enjoying sunny days, convivial moments and relaxing in the shade and scent of an old lime tree, on its two terraces.

Attached on the north side, the property currently offers 175 m² of living space with beautiful volumes and ceiling heights ranging from 2.90 m to 3 m. Built of stone with wooden floors between the levels, it stands out for its authenticity, its period features and its unique atmosphere.

The cellar of approximately 100 m², with a ceiling height of 2.60 m, features old vaulted openings and offers genuine potential for conversion to increase the living area. It allows for an elegant enhancement of the property, while respecting its history, by combining the charm of the old — exposed beams, original openings and doors — with contemporary materials and modern concepts.
