Just a few minutes from the center of Geneva, in the heart of Chêne-Bougeries, lies a place that seems almost timeless.
Behind its walls and majestic greenery, Le Vallon reveals a property of remarkable rarity: an elegant manor house built in 1776, surrounded by grounds covering more than two hectares—a true haven of unspoiled nature right on the city’s doorstep. As soon as you pass through the gate, the urban surroundings fade away, giving way to tranquility, privacy, and the special feeling of entering a world of its own.
A residence steeped in history:
With approximately 800 m² of living space and 22 rooms, the main house impresses with its scale, its classical elegance, and its generous proportions.
The ground floor is largely devoted to reception areas. The entrance hall, dining room, living room, lounge, library, kitchen, small dining room, and covered terrace flow seamlessly into one another, offering beautiful views of the grounds. The interior photographs further reveal the full character of this residence: original hardwood floors, fireplaces, wood paneling, high ceilings, and reception rooms with elegant proportions.
Upstairs, the house features eight bedrooms, five bathrooms, a library, and two studies. The attic also houses four additional bedrooms and a bathroom, offering scope for numerous layout options in this large family home.
A self-contained apartment within the main house completes the property and provides additional flexibility for accommodating family, guests, or staff.
An extraordinary park, shaped by time:
The exceptional character of Le Vallon lies as much in its architecture as in its surroundings.
Set on a 20,011 m² lot, the property boasts a park of rare dimensions in an area so close to Geneva. Over the generations, it has become a veritable arboretum, bringing together numerous local and exotic species, some of which are particularly ancient.
Among them, a large cedar dating from 1816 stands out in particular, a silent witness to more than two centuries of history. The estate’s botanical collection is so impressive that dendrology specialists have visited Le Vallon to admire its various species.
Spacious lawns, century-old trees, scenic views, and abundant vegetation combine to create a world of exceptional serenity, entirely centered on nature.
Two large, independent houses on the estate:
In addition to the main house, Le Vallon also comprises two large, entirely independent houses, which are currently rented out.
Far from being mere outbuildings, they are fully-fledged homes in their own right and add another dimension to the estate. Their presence offers numerous possibilities: generating rental income, providing housing for several generations of the same family, serving as guest houses or staff quarters, or allowing for a complete reorganization of the estate in accordance with the future owner’s plans.
This exceptionally rare layout thus combines a prestigious residence, independence, and heritage potential within a single property.
A heritage to be reinvented:
Le Vallon is a property in need of renovation. But this is precisely where part of its extraordinary potential lies.
Its spacious rooms, architecture, historic grounds, and various dwellings offer the opportunity to envision a large-scale project while preserving the soul and identity of a place shaped over nearly two and a half centuries.
Restored with care, the main house could regain all the splendor of a grand Geneva residence, combining the charm of its historic architecture with contemporary comfort.
A rare property on the outskirts of Geneva:
Le Vallon is far more than a stately home: it is a true private estate.
A historic residence of approximately 800 m², two large detached houses, an additional apartment, and over two hectares of grounds make up a property and landscaped complex that would be difficult to replicate today.
Tucked away from prying eyes and surrounded by majestic trees, yet situated in the heart of Chêne-Bougeries and in the immediate vicinity of Geneva, Le Vallon offers what is undoubtedly the most precious form of luxury: space, nature, privacy, and the feeling of being somewhere else—all while never being far from the city.
A property full of character, intended for a buyer who appreciates places steeped in history and is seeking a truly unique project.
Le Vallon now awaits the person who will preserve its soul, reveal its potential, and write the next chapter in its history.
