House Clairvaux-les-Lacs - 6 bedrooms - 522m²

Divonne Sotheby’s International Realty is pleased to offer for sale, in the heart of the Jura and on the shores of the Grand Lac de Clairvaux, an exceptional historic property known as “Villa Romersa”. This remarkable lakeside residence was completed in 1930 by Swiss entrepreneur Léon Romersa, an emblematic figure in early 20th-century civil engineering in the Jura.

Set in approximately 7,461 m² of wooded grounds that slope down to the lake, this characterful villa offers around 400 m² of living space over several floors, together with a further 122 m² of basement space that could be converted. Overlooking the turquoise waters of the Grand Lac de Clairvaux, the property enjoys a rare natural setting and panoramic views of the Jura mountain range.

Inspired by the grand lakeside residences of Switzerland, the villa’s architecture makes an immediate impression with its two-tone stone façades, original wrought-iron work, monumental staircases, Art Nouveau glass panels and generous, light-filled interiors. The residence has retained exceptional period features, including tiles by Paul Charnoz / CERABATI, original wood panelling, decorative plaster mouldings and a remarkable central staircase enhanced by Art Deco grilles.

The interior layout includes spacious reception areas, several sitting rooms, a dining room with direct access to the terrace overlooking the lake, a kitchen-living room, and around ten bedrooms or offices spread over the upper floors. A contemporary principal suite finished in green onyx marble completes the property.

The landscaped grounds comprise a series of terraces descending towards the lake. The property also includes a second plot directly on the water’s edge, offering exceptional potential for private landscaping.

This rare property would be equally suited to an impressive family home, a high-end guest house, an entertaining venue or a private heritage residence.
