House Amphion-les-bains - 570m²

EVIAN SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY presents:

An exceptional waterfront property steeped in history.

This magnificent 14-room property is ideally situated beside a private body of water, nestled within 6,000 sq m of expansive, wooded grounds.

Designed by architect Maurice NOVARINA, this remarkable residence, described by its creator as “my finest villa”, was built in 1965 and renovated in 2011. It enjoys exceptional panoramic views over Lake Geneva, with a U-shaped lake frontage extending for approximately 100 metres. What makes this unique property so special is that it is the only property on Lake Geneva with its own cadastral body of water, making it genuinely private.

The property’s unrivalled features include a privately owned, cadastral harbour (with access prohibited to third parties), a private beach reserved for residents, a 20-metre-long, 2-metre-wide stone jetty, and a private double slipway with a motorised trolley for easy boat launching. The house itself is just 8 metres from the water, facing Lausanne and the Bassaraba lighthouse.

This historic residence adjoins the Bains d'Amphion, now the Hôtel des Princes. It was once acquired by Marie Walewska, Napoleon I’s celebrated “Polish woman”. It later passed into the hands of Alexandre Walewski, Napoleon I’s illegitimate son (1810–1868), before being purchased in 1874 by Prince Grégoire Bibesco Bassaraba de Brancovan. During his ownership, the harbour was developed and became a popular meeting place for music and poetry lovers, frequented by figures such as Marcel Proust and the Prince and Princess of Polignac (Singer’s daughter), as described in the memoirs of the poet Anna de Noailles, daughter of Prince Grégoire Bibesco Bassaraba de Brancovan.

The garden is beautifully maintained and features a fountain, waterfalls and numerous century-old trees. Its proximity to Geneva—less than 50 minutes from the city centre and an hour from the airport—also makes it an exceptionally well-located residence.
