a switzerland sotheby′s international realty exclusive
between lake and mountains, in the heart of the vaud riviera, a historic residence stands as a living testament to elegance and vision.
built in 1930 by professor paul niehans, founder of clinique la prairie and pioneer of cellular medicine, the villa "le rocher du soleil" has weathered the decades while preserving its soul. it was a meeting place for the international medical and artistic elite.
recently restored to a rare high standard, it combines respect for heritage with sustainable innovation. the original volumes have been preserved and sublimated by a consequent renovation integrating geothermal energy, high-performance insulation and top-of-the-range equipment.
the interiors reveal a veritable gallery of precious materials, quartzite from brazil in deep shades, rare marbles, artistic de gournay
wallpapers, handcrafted joinery.
each en suite bedroom, each custom-designed space, composes a refined art of living, at the crossroads of heritage, innovation and absolute serenity.
the park, redesigned by renowned landscape architect jean mus, extends the villa in a mediterranean plant setting, punctuated by an infinity pool suspended over lake geneva.
