Description
The Domaine de Merlinge is one of the largest properties in Geneva, with almost 50 hectares of land, a beautiful mansion, stables, several side buildings and a meticulously kept 'jardin a la francaise'. You are surrounded by the tranquil and green Geneva countryside, offering vast forests and open fields - and yet Geneva is only a 15 minutes drive away. The farmland on the Domaine is being actively used, including to produce its own wine. This is a property that offers a very comfortable countryside lifestyle; you can take your horses out for long rides; on hot summer days you will enjoy the coolness of the 24 meter long swimming pool; there is a fully fitted gym in one of the outbuildings and the main house sits on a large wine cellar. The mansion offers vast entertainment spaces, including a grand dining room with its open fireplace, several lounges and a semi professional kitchen. With 8 bedrooms and many bathrooms there is space for a big family. For the comfort of guests and staff, there are several newly renovated apartments in the outbuildings, offering a lot of space. Among the annexes you will also find a listed chapel, pavilions, and an orangery. The property has a long history that dates back to the 4th century, and includes both notable Geneva elite and Italian royalty.
