villa for sale Aix-les-Bains, Savoie

Just 30 minutes from Aix-les-Bains and 1 hour from Geneva, in the heart of Chautagne, stands a prestigious 20-room residence surrounded by fields and forests. Nestled in one hectare of landscaped park, this exceptional property reveals its charm through terraced gardens and an Italian fountain. As soon as the large gate opens, the property stands out through the century-old trees. Once through the spacious courtyard, it welcomes visitors with a first garden bathed in sunlight, a small intimate terrace and the main entrance to the residence. The first building, 'Le Château', dating from 1749, offers more than 700 m2 of living space. The bright and airy entrance leads to the main rooms: a dining room decorated with period paintings, a living room with direct access to the outside, a custom billiards room, an authentic workshop, a kitchen with its traditional open fireplace, a pantry and two small comfortable lounges. A beautiful staircase leads to the first floor, where five spacious bedrooms share the space with two bathrooms and a large west-facing library, bathed in the rays of the setting sun. The second and last floor houses five other bedrooms, two of which face south, a games room, a bathroom, a powder room and several dressing rooms. Next door, the second building, currently used as a garage and storage space, offers immense potential. To be completely rethought, it could become a charming outbuilding or a multi-functional space depending on your desires. Outside, the perfectly fenced and landscaped garden extends over approximately 10,000 m2. Organized into Italian-style terraces, it constitutes an ideal haven of peace for relaxing or an endless playground for the more adventurous. This exceptional property in Chautagne awaits its next chapter, where the prestigious past meets the endless possibilities of the future.
