The property
Space, light and privacy
Two large panoramic balconies, a spacious terrace overlooking the water and beautifully maintained grounds complement the generous interior volumes. The principal suite enjoys exceptional lake views, while a fitted, naturally lit semi-basement offers flexible possibilities for additional accommodation, working or leisure space.

The semi-basement could suit an office, fitness room, cinema or independent accommodation, subject to any necessary approvals.
The French Lake Geneva Riviera
Evian-les-Bains: a way of life
World-famous for its mineral water and thermal heritage, Evian-les-Bains combines the atmosphere of an elegant Belle Epoque spa town with the relaxed pace of life of the French lakeshore. Here, the lake, the Alps and Swiss cultural and business centres are all part of the same lifestyle.
A celebrated resort town
Enjoy the lakefront promenade, marina, restaurants and cafes, renowned thermal spas, an established casino, golf and international resort amenities. The Palais Lumière and Evian’s period architecture reinforce its distinctive cultural character. The town is attractive as a year-round residence or a discreet international retreat.
Between Switzerland and the Alps
Regular passenger boats cross to Lausanne in approximately 35 minutes. Geneva is accessible by road, with journey times that vary with traffic and route (generally around an hour or more). The nearby mountain resort of Thollon-les-Mémises is about 20 minutes away, with further winter sports, hiking and alpine destinations throughout the Chablais.
An opportunity for international buyers
The Swiss Riviera lifestyle, the French advantage
The French shore of Lake Geneva offers a compelling alternative to Geneva’s most exclusive waterfront addresses. Comparable lakeside residences on the Swiss side can be priced three to four times higher. This is an indicative comparison of advertised asking prices and market positioning, not a formal valuation or a property-by-property appraisal.
A simpler purchase for non-European buyers
In France, non-European purchasers can generally acquire residential property without prior government authorisation based on nationality, subject to ordinary conveyancing, financial and compliance checks. In Switzerland, the Lex Koller regime can require cantonal authorisation or restrict acquisitions by foreign buyers considered persons abroad. The rules depend on each buyer’s residence status and circumstances.
