The iconic Château de Merlinge is the centerpiece of a vast 123-acre estate, steeped in a long history of noble ownership and one time residence of the Queen of Italy. The estate’s story stretches back to the Middle Ages, when it began as a collection of six farm buildings. It later transformed into a fortified house in the 16th century. By 1625, it had evolved into the Château de Merlinge, which played an important role during the Reformation as a refuge for free thinkers. The château offers both grandeur and comfort. Situated in Meinier, near the picturesque shores of Lake Geneva, the property provides a perfect mix of tranquility and convenience. Surrounded by French gardens and a large terrace, the main building features of over 16,000 square feet, including 8 rooms and 8 full bathrooms, a charming library, magnificent dining room, an opulent game room, and a modern gym. The antique construction has been renovated with modern finishes and elements, marble floors, floor to ceiling paintings and impeccable decoration. The château has French-style gardens, a 24-meter swimming pool, a private tree-lined driveway, and two grand outbuildings. The outbuildings include staff apartments, stables, a gym, and garages. The property also has an 18th-century chapel, an orangerie, garden pavilions, and an operating farm and vineyards. The chateau has an ideal location not far from Lake Geneva, placing it within reach of the region’s best amenities while maintaining its magically serene ambience.
