Grens, Vaud 1274

Nestled in the picturesque village of Grens, above Nyon, between Geneva and Lausanne, this sumptuous Maison de Maître overlooks the Asse plain and offers a rare living environment, steeped in history and authenticity. The first traces of construction date back to 1788, according to the dated bricks still visible, while the official archives mention 1805. A fresco made by a foreman of the time, still present on one of the walls, illustrates an episode of the French Revolution, testifying to the rich past of the house. Initially a dependency of the Abbey of Bonmont, the property was acquired in 1857 by the current family, who have been living there for six generations. Initially a second home, it became a main residence in 1880 and still retains this vocation today. The building has undergone several modernisations, including a major restructuring in 1987, giving it its current configuration which includes the Maison de Maître part and an independent staff accommodation. Two years ago, a major renovation was carried out: installation of a high-performance geothermal heat pump, updating of the ground floor floors, renovation of the kitchen, as well as the complete renovation of the staff accommodation. Despite the various modernisations, the original character of the building has been particularly well preserved with exposed stones, lime walls, authentic woodwork, country fireplaces, etc. Located in the heart of meadows and vineyards, the 7,837 m² plot, with fountains, a pond and a stream, is a true haven of peace. This property is aimed at buyers who are sensitive to the authentic charm of historic homes. The heritage character, the soul of the place and the timeless elegance of the building are major assets for those looking for an exceptional residence imbued with history and uniqueness. The vast wooded park, the tranquility of the setting and the unobstructed views will particularly appeal to families and nature lovers wishing to enjoy a preserved environment, while remaining close to the infrastructures of Nyon and international schools. The organization of the spaces, also offering great privacy for everyone, responds to a family or multigenerational lifestyle. Finally, the geographical location between Geneva and Lausanne represents a considerable advantage for international executives, expatriates or entrepreneurs looking for a prestigious place to live combining calm and quick access to business centers. This property is therefore a rare property, capable of combining character, quality of life and strategic location.
