EXCLUSIVE: VEIGY-FONCENEX – General Chastel’s Historic Estate – The Soul of an Exceptional Residence
A property of character blending heritage and ”art de vivre,” just minutes from Geneva.

There are places that tell a story before you even cross the threshold. Welcome to the former residence of General Aimé Pierre Chastel. Set in a peaceful and preserved environment on the edge of the Swiss border and the shores of Lake Geneva, this historic estate embodies the timeless elegance of great family homes.

Here, every stone and every space has been designed to offer a unique living experience, combining prestigious receptions with family intimacy.

The Manor House: Noble Proportions (~265 sqm)
The main residence unfolds its charms across two levels plus large attic spaces.
The Ground Floor is an ode to conviviality: an elegant reception lounge, a majestic dining room, and an independent kitchen. A ground-floor bedroom completes this level.
The First Floor hosts four spacious bedrooms, including three suites with private bathrooms. The highlight is a library lounge with a fireplace and mezzanine—an ideal space for escape and reflection.

The Guest House: Independence and Charm (~150 sqm)
Perfect for hosting loved ones, a professional home office project, or a caretaker’s cottage, this second independent house features an open-plan kitchen and living area, with three bedrooms upstairs. An autonomous space that guarantees privacy for everyone.

Art de Vivre & Outbuildings: A Living Heritage
The estate extends into parkland where the art of living takes on its full meaning. The outdoor area is an invitation to relax, featuring a heated swimming pool, a fully equipped pool house, and a summer kitchen for unforgettable starlit receptions.

The property pays homage to its past with authentic outbuildings: a traditional barn with cathedral ceilings, a wine tasting cellar, and an original cider press. A garage, technical room, and annexes perfect the property’s functional amenities.

What We Love:
The Unique History: Exceptional historical character and noble materials.

The Strategic Location: Only 20 minutes from central Geneva and 5 minutes from the Lake.

The Rare Opportunity: A chance to own a fragment of history in one of the Lake Geneva basin’s most coveted areas.
