Magnificent detached house with view of the lake and the Alps

This superb villa is located in Auvernier, a formerly independent commune in the Boudry district of the Swiss canton of Neuchatel. In January 2013, Auvernier merged with Bõle and Colombier to form the new commune of Milvignes. This commune is like a subtly-blended wine that will acquire added character and depth as time passes. The comparison is particularly appropriate in that Milvignes is today the largest wine-growing commune in the Neuchatel canton, with vineyards covering no less than 145 hectares (almost 360 acres).

Stretching from the shores of the Lake of Neuchatel to the Jura foothills, Milvignes benefits from a situation that permits a wide range of activities. Its port, its much-appreciated bathing beaches, its vineyards and forests provide a setting that is an invitation to walkers and explorers.

The 8.5-room property, built in 1972, enjoys a magnificent location with uninterrupted views of the lake and the Alps.

Numerous refurbishments were undertaken in 2004 and, more recently, in 2007 with the construction of a double garage and the installation of an infinity swimming pool, which has in fact been renovated in the past year. (Heating panel and counter-current swimming unit).

On the ground floor, you are met by an imposing entrance hall with guest toilet and cloakrooms. You are then led into a spacious living room with fireplace, opening onto a well-equipped kitchen and a large dining room on two levels situated in the conservatory. An air-conditioned master suite completes the ground-floor accommodation, consisting of a dressing room, a shower room and the bedroom itself, which opens onto an en suite jacuzzi area with a superb view over the lake.

On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms with a sizeable shower room, as well as a large presently unoccupied area where it would be possible to add a second bathroom or a kitchen (plumbing already installed).

The fully excavated basement also contains a separate entrance facing East, close to a bedroom and shower room with sauna-hammam and infra-red sauna that could if desired constitute a small studio apartment. A wine cellar, a civil defence shelter, a boiler room (new boiler installed in 2017), a laundry and a presently unoccupied area (possible cinema) complete the basement accommodation.
