Description

On the north shore of Lake Geneva, only 12km (7.5mi) from Geneva city center, Château de Promenthoux is discreetly nestled between the forests and parks of Prangins, and uniquely positioned over the lake’s quiet waters for the utmost privacy. Originally built in 1896 and recently restored to modern comfort, the 1,300sqm (13,988sf) main estate encourages grand-style living, complete with 8 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 4 ballrooms, a study, library, and multiple kitchens spread across four floors. Bordered by a river, the grounds, totaling 3.7 hectares (9ac), are home to gardens and mature trees, a separate staff annex, and reputedly the largest private harbor on the lake. And, with the estate’s ample balconies, opportunity abounds to take in the lake, mountain, garden, and city views.
