Description

Original text in french, translate to English.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Grens, above Nyon, between Geneva and Lausanne, this sumptuous Manor House dominates the Asse plain and offers a rare living environment, steeped in history and authenticity.
The first traces of construction date back to 1788, according to the still visible dated bricks, while the official archives mention 1805. A fresco created by a foreman of the time, still present on one of the walls, illustrates an episode of the French Revolution, testifying to the rich past of the property.
Initially a dependency of the Bonmont Abbey, the property was acquired in 1857 by the current family, who have lived there for six generations. Initially a secondary residence, it became the main residence in 1880 and has retained this function to the present day.
The building has undergone several modernizations, including a major restructuring in 1987, giving it its current configuration, which includes the Manor House and an independent staff apartment.
Two years ago, a major renovation was carried out: installation of a high-performance geothermal heat pump, updating of the ground floor floors, renovation of the kitchen, and complete refurbishment of the staff apartment.
Despite the various modernizations, the original character of the building has been particularly well preserved, with exposed stone, lime-washed walls, authentic woodwork, rustic fireplaces, etc.
Located in the heart of meadows and vineyards, the 7,837 m² plot, adorned with fountains, a pond and a stream, forms a true haven of peace.
This property is aimed at buyers who appreciate the authentic charm of historic residences. The heritage character, the soul of the place and the timeless elegance of the building are major assets for those looking for an exceptional residence steeped in history and uniqueness.
The large wooded park, the tranquility of the setting and the unobstructed views will particularly appeal to families and nature lovers who want to enjoy a preserved environment while remaining close to the facilities of Nyon and the international schools. The layout of the spaces, which also offers great privacy for each individual, is suited to a family or multigenerational lifestyle.

Historic Manor House - A Rare and Exceptional Property in Grens
Located in the picturesque village of Grens, just above Nyon and halfway between Geneva and Lausanne, this magnificent Maison de Maître overlooks the Asse plain and offers a truly exceptional living environment, rich in history and authenticity.
The earliest traces of construction date back to 1788, as evidenced by the marked bricks still visible on site, while official archives mention 1805. A period fresco, painted by a master builder of the time and still preserved on one of the walls, depicts an episode of the French Revolution, underscoring the remarkable heritage of the estate.
Originally a dependency of the Bonmont Abbey, the property was acquired in 1857 by the current family, who has lived here for six generations. First a secondary residence, it became the main family home in 1880-a role it continues to fulfill to this day.
Over the years, the manor has undergone several refurbishments, including a major restructuring in 1987 that created its current configuration: the elegant main residence and an independent apartment suitable for a caretaker or guests. Two years ago, further renovation work enhanced the home's comfort and sustainability. Throughout these updates, the original character has been carefully preserved, with exposed stone, lime-plastered walls, authentic woodwork and traditional fireplaces contributing to its timeless charm.
Nestled amidst meadows and vineyards, the 7,837 m² grounds-featuring fountains, a pond and a stream-form a serene and idyllic natural retreat.
This property will appeal to discerning buyers who value the genuine charm of historic estates. Its rich heritage, unique ambiance and architectural elegance make it a truly distinctive residence for those seeking a home with both character and soul.
The expansive landscaped grounds, peaceful surroundings and open views are perfectly suited to families and nature lovers looking to enjoy a preserved environment while remaining close to the amenities of Nyon and the region's renowned international schools. The layout ensures privacy and comfort for all, making it ideal for both family and multi-generational living.
Finally, its strategic location between Geneva and Lausanne provides a significant advantage for international executives, expatriates and entrepreneurs seeking a prestigious residence that offers tranquility without compromising on accessibility to major business centers. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property that harmoniously combines heritage, quality of life and an exceptional address.
