Laurus Villa, Lake Views, Pool, Penthouse, New Build in Weggis
Seen from above, this new-build villa, named Laurus, is shaped like a laurel leaf. Two sweeping curves nestle into the hillside in the quiet Riedsort neighbourhood above Weggis, as if they had grown there.This leaf gave the house its name: Laurus, the laurel. Since antiquity, it has been a symbol of fulfilment.You can feel this very sense of certainty at Laurus: in the morning calm, in the views across the lake, and in evenings spent with the people who matter to you. Laurus is a place where you feel that your own path has led you exactly here.It is no coincidence that laurel thrives here. The lake keeps winters mild and gives Weggis a climate more commonly found in the south. Laurelweg even runs right next door. The laurel stays green throughout the seasons and puts down deep roots. Just as you will in this place.Laurel leaves were once woven into crowns. Today, there is probably no finer way to crown yourself than with a villa on Lake Lucerne.THE VIEWThe view is what makes this place special. From the living room, the poolside terrace and the penthouse level, Lake Lucerne opens up in all its vastness: the Bürgenstock opposite, Pilatus to the west, and between them the water, changing colour with every passing hour. Clear and bright in the morning, deep blue in the afternoon, golden in the evening. A panorama that you do not simply look at, but experience anew every day.OFF-PLAN PURCHASEThe villa is being sold off-plan.

The Weggis aerial cableway takes you to Rigi Kaltbad, while Lucerne is easily reached by boat and road. Mark Twain spent a summer in Weggis in 1897 and noted, in effect, that a Sunday in heaven would be loud compared with this silence. Named in 1513 after the reeds along the shore, Riedsort remains a quiet residential neighbourhood in the W2B residential zone, between the forest and the lake.IMAGE DISCLAIMERAll images in this listing are computer-generated visualisations.
