Overview

Just beyond the shimmering borders of Geneva, where the French countryside unfolds in rolling emerald waves, stands a property that whispers of another era—yet lives entirely for today. This is no ordinary estate, but a living tapestry of stone and light, where the grandeur of tradition dances with the fluidity of modern life. At its heart, the main residence rises like a storybook sentinel, its traditional architecture softened by generous volumes that invite the golden hour to spill across honeyed oak floors. Here, the great room unfurls beneath vaulted ceilings, anchored by a hearth of ancient stone where flames flicker against winter’s chill. The kitchen, a masterpiece of convivial design, hums with the quiet efficiency of a space built for both intimate suppers and lavish gatherings. Ascend the staircase to discover a master suite of breathtaking proportion—a sanctuary with a walk-in closet that cradles silk and wool, and a bathroom where marble gleams under the caress of morning light. A second bedroom, a study bathed in tranquility, and a sleek shower room complete this floor, while above, the attic transforms into a hidden realm: two more chambers, a lounge draped in dressing-room elegance, and a bathroom where clawfoot tubs beckon after long rides through the estate’s sprawling grounds.

Beneath the main house, the earth holds its own secrets—a wine cellar where vintages slumber, a laundry room that hums with discreet efficiency, and a workshop where tools wait to shape new dreams from old wood. And then there is the mill vestige, a fragment of history frozen in time, its restoration a promise yet to be fulfilled—a blank canvas for those who hear the call of the past.

But this estate is more than a home; it is a kingdom of possibility. Two independent residences stand ready to welcome loved ones or yield quiet income: a triplex apartment where sunlight pools across an open kitchen, and a duplex house with a lofted mezzanine, its private garage guarding treasures of leather and chrome. Each space is a world unto itself, yet bound by the estate’s embrace.

For the equestrian soul, the land unfurls like a love letter. Eight stalls, their stalls wide as generosity, stand ready for noble heads and restless hooves. An outdoor arena, kissed by wind and sun, waits for the rhythm of training, while a four-horse walker—installed but a breath ago, in 2022—turns in silent circles. Six paddocks stretch across nearly ten thousand square meters of manicured earth, their fences tracing the horizon, and beyond, 2.5 hectares of usufruct land offer endless trails where horse and rider become one with the sky.

Here, in Saint-Genis-Pouilly, the world bends to your will. Geneva’s pulse is but minutes away, its airports and avenues a convenience never a disturbance. The village hums with schools and boutiques, its streets lined with the quiet luxury of a life well-lived—where the clatter of hooves on cobblestones might still echo, if you listen closely enough.

This is not merely a property. It is a legacy in the making—a place where stone remembers, light lingers, and the land itself breathes with the possibility of all you have yet to dream.
