With this property, you are buying more than a house: Villa Pelican by Lake Geneva is synonymous with an individual lifestyle and relaxed living. You can achieve both here. In an idyllic setting, right by Lake Geneva, nestled in the picturesque backdrop of French-speaking Switzerland, this unique property awaits you in the charming old fishing village – a rare opportunity for lovers of exclusive locations and charming architecture. The property is suitable as both a primary residence and a holiday home.
Situated on a spacious plot of 2,057 m², this independent villa from the 1920s offers stunning views of the lake, has its own jetty (concession until November 2025, extension requested) and direct access to the water with its own swimming entry. The property is located in St-Gingolph, an idyllic border village on the southern shore of the lake, where the water meets the Alps and the view of the sparkling blue seems endless.
This fantastic, idyllic, and secluded plot offers enough space for the whole family and invites you to enjoy the breathtaking landscape and, thanks to its direct access to the lake, to practice water sports. The detached house on three levels offers, with approximately 210 m² of living space, enough room to realize your housing dreams. An attractive covered entrance leads you to the entrance hall on the ground floor, from where you can access the living room and dining room, the kitchen, and the guest toilet. The living room is equipped with well-preserved parquet flooring and an open fireplace and overlooks the approximately 26 m² terrace covered by an awning, which offers stunning views of the property and Lake Geneva. The kitchen is equipped with custom cabinets and a built-in kitchen (very worn).
The upper floor is accessible by stairs or by the integrated stairlift. You will find three bedrooms, a room with a sink, and a bathroom with a bathtub and window. The largest of the three bedrooms is equipped with well-preserved parquet flooring and a wood stove, while the other two bedrooms have aging carpet. All bedrooms offer stunning views of greenery, the lake, and the mountains.
A door leads you to the staircase that serves the converted attic. There you will find two bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub and a window. These rooms also offer a very nice view of the outside. The attic corridor is characterized by its custom wooden shelves, which invite you to serve as a library.
In the basement, there is a cellar, a technical room, a room for the oil boiler, as well as a shower and toilets.
