Located in the heart of the Old Town of the municipality of Céligny, in this Genevan enclave of the canton of Vaud, this building with exceptional charm tells a centuries-old story.
Although the land registry places its construction between 1919 and 1945, historical archives refer to this magnificent building as early as 1700, attesting to its rich past. The building benefits from a privileged location, offering glimpses of Lake Geneva and a partial view of the Jura. It is surrounded by a lovely stream, adding a natural charm to this already enchanting ensemble.
Retaining many carefully restored period features, this building presents an architecture full of character, with beautiful exposed beams, functional period fireplaces, as well as sandstone frames that testify to its authenticity and the care taken in the restoration.
The building has 600 m2 of net floor area spread over five rental apartments, offering investment potential or the possibility of redevelopment into PPE according to projects. The distribution of the apartments is as follows:
Two spacious and bright 4.5-room apartments, one on the ground floor and the other in duplex.
A large 5-room apartment.
A 3-room apartment and a 4.5-room duplex.
Rental status and rental projection
Currently, there are three occupied apartments, including:
1 by the owner,
1 by a tenant who will leave in 2026,
1 by a family that must vacate the premises in July 2025.
The other two apartments have been vacated by their tenants expressly by the owner, in view of the sale of the building.
The rental status of the building was at its best in the 2000s, with an annual amount of CHF 164,400.--, as the owner granted preferential rents to the family and friends/acquaintances occupying the premises.
Today, the average annual rental price per m2 in Céligny is around CHF 360.--, which means a projected rental status for 600 m2 that could approach CHF 216,000.--.
Renovation and transformation work
Significant renovation and transformation work has been carried out to modernize the building while respecting its historical character.
The windows have been completely replaced, with the installation of double and triple glazing ensuring optimal thermal and acoustic insulation. The kitchens have been custom-made by a recognized kitchen designer from the Nyon region, using high-quality materials for a functional and elegant result. The bathrooms have been completely redone. The floors have been entirely renewed and are in a condition close to new, offering additional comfort and a neat aesthetic.
Maintenance/state of the property
In general, the building and its apartments are maintained impeccably. No work is to be expected, except potentially the replacement of the oil boiler, which could be replaced by a connection to remote pellet heating, in line with energy transition objectives.
The building, both spacious and intimate, is ideally located to benefit from tranquility and a picturesque setting.
