Historic House On The Lakefront

Situated in Montreux, at the heart of a prestigious and historic setting, this detached house is part of the emblematic Villas Dubochet, listed for their architectural and heritage value. Built between 1874 and 1876 by Parisian architect Émile Hochereau, with the assistance of Louis Maillard, the residence reflects the elegance and precision of the academic styles taught at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Set on the front line of Lake Geneva, close to the port of Clarens, the house enjoys an exceptional position with unobstructed panoramic views of the lake and the majestic surrounding mountains, in an atmosphere of absolute serenity.

Built on a plot of approximately 1,700 m², the villa offers around 300 m² of living space distributed across 10 rooms, including 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The solid and carefully executed construction reflects the high-quality craftsmanship of its time, while preserving a unique character through its original architectural details. The property also features seven fireplaces, adding to the charm and authenticity of the residence. Although renovation work is to be expected, the potential for enhancement is considerable.

The extensive landscaped garden, of more than 1,500 m², gracefully surrounds the villa, providing a rare oasis of greenery in such a highly sought-after area. Offering privacy, tranquillity and a remarkable natural setting, it is the perfect space for relaxation or outdoor entertaining. The property also enjoys direct access to the Villas Dubochet quay, located right on the lake, allowing residents to take full advantage of peaceful walks or water activities in an exclusive lakeside environment. This estate represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional historic property in one of the most beautiful locations on the Vaud Riviera.
