Located in the heart of the Geneva countryside, in the commune of Meinier, the Château de Merlinge is one of Geneva's most remarkable heritage properties. Nestled within an estate of nearly 49 hectares, this historic site offers a setting of rare exclusivity, where heritage, nature and art of living meet in perfect balance.
Mentioned as early as 1304 as a noble property attached to the priory of Saint-Victor, the Merlinge estate has passed through the centuries in the hands of illustrious families, such as the de la Mare and the de Loys, who helped shape its history and identity. The current castle, whose origins date back to the 17th century, has benefited from several restoration campaigns over time, the last renovation dating from 2000, preserving all the architectural richness and authenticity of the premises.
With nearly 1,500 m² of living space, this exceptional residence comprises 20 rooms, including 12 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. The majority of the rooms benefit from a privileged orientation offering magnificent unobstructed views of the countryside, the Jura and the surrounding mountains. The molded ceilings, frescoes, period woodwork, sculpted cornices and the majestic private Louis XV style chapel illustrate the unique character of this property.
The estate also includes 11 annex buildings, harmoniously distributed throughout the property, offering numerous possibilities for use. A stable, four garages or covered boxes and a 20-meter swimming pool complete the amenities of this extraordinary estate.
The exteriors reveal an exceptional park composed of landscaped gardens, vast meadows and natural spaces totaling over 485,000 m², to which are added a vegetable garden, an orchard, a greenhouse and two protected chapels, testifying to the historical richness of the estate. Each perspective highlights a preserved environment where absolute calm reigns supreme.
Passed down through generations to illustrious Genevan families, the Château de Merlinge today represents a unique heritage, destined for lovers of the most prestigious historic residences.
An emblematic property, combining heritage, elegance and history, offering one of Switzerland's rarest real estate opportunities.
