Features and description
Nestled in the heart of a preserved natural setting, this exceptional 11.5-hectare estate offers an exclusive and intimate living environment. Its majestic 1,000 m² château, with elegant and refined lines, is complemented by 1,304 m² of annexes, offering vast potential for various uses (guest pavilion, fully renovated farmhouse for family and friends, swimming pool with pool house, office, and staff accommodations).
Perfectly maintained, the estate enjoys absolute privacy and breathtaking views of Lake Geneva and the Alps. Its meticulously landscaped gardens enhance the architecture and evoke the grandeur of a bygone era.
A historic residence at the heart of refined living
Unlike the defensive castles of its time, Château de Vincy was inspired by the noble residences of the Touraine region, favoring elegance and an art of living. Its history is one of serenity, much like the gentle slopes that extend towards Lake Geneva.
In the 18th century, Vincy became a coveted gathering place for high society, where charm, eloquence, and sophistication prevailed. The lavish receptions held in its gardens reflected the refinement of the era.
Three successive castles have stood in Vincy. The first, built in 1292, was destroyed by the Savoyards. The second, constructed in 1530, was burned down by the Bernese. Finally, in 1724, the De Vasserot family, captivated by the beauty of the site, commissioned the construction of the present château—a classical-inspired residence that majestically overlooks the hillside.
A prestigious cultural heritage
The De Vasserot family, originally French Protestants who prospered through commerce, were granted the title of Baron in 1720, allowing them to acquire the seigneury of Vincy. With a deep appreciation for aesthetics and culture, they transformed the château into a hub of intellectual and artistic gatherings.
Voltaire himself made a stop here, while Lamartine stayed for a time, adding a literary and philosophical dimension to the residence.
Today, Château de Vincy embodies a unique art of living, blending history, prestige, and an exceptional natural setting.
