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

Divonne Sotheby's International Realty is offering 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", a remarkable lakeside residence completed in 1930 by Swiss entrepreneur Léon Romersa, an emblematic figure in Jura civil engineering at the beginning of the 20th century.

Set in 7,461 m² of wooded parkland stretching down to the lake, this character villa boasts 382 m² of living space spread over several levels, 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 over the Jura mountains.

The architecture of the villa, inspired by the great Swiss lakeside residences, is immediately captivating, with its two-tone stone facades, original ironwork, monumental staircases, Art Nouveau skylights and generous volumes bathed in light.

The residence has preserved exceptional heritage features such as the Paul Charnoz / CERABATI tiles, period woodwork, staff mouldings and a remarkable central staircase with an Art Deco grille.

The interior layout features vast reception areas, several lounges, 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 floors.

A contemporary master suite in green onyx marble completes the ensemble.

The landscaped grounds, comprising a series of terraces leading down to the lake, also benefit from a second plot directly on the water's edge, offering exceptional potential for private development.

This rare property would be just as well suited to a prestigious family residence as it would to a top-of-the-range guest house, reception property or private heritage home.
