This 12th-century chateau and its many outbuildings are located in Saint-Cergues, less than 30 minutes from the center of Geneva, or 40 minutes by direct train from Machilly station. Its main house offers more than 160 m2 of living space, on a 1325 m2 plot of land with a swimming pool and 2 large paved terraces. 2 independent apartments of approximately 50 m2 and 57 m2 respectively, fully renovated in 2023 and 2024, generate annual rental income (1-year furnished leases), and numerous additional outbuildings allow for all possibilities (gross barn of more than 73 m2 on the ground, double garage of more than 50 m2, tasting cellar, laundry room, pantry, workshop, chicken coop). When the door of the main house opens, it is all the charm of past centuries that makes the eye sparkle. The French ceilings, the walls revealing the period stones, the solid flooring in the upper floors, and of course the medieval fireplace, a majestic witness of past centuries. The kitchen, dining room and living room blend harmoniously in this living room of almost 75 m2, entirely open and convivial. A bathroom, with a freestanding bathtub and toilet, completes this level.
