6 Bedroom Substantial Lakeside House in Bougy Villars, Switzerland

Some places just have a way of slowing you right down the minute you arrive. This six bedroom villa in Bougy Villars sits high above Lake Geneva and honestly the view from here is really something else. Sometimes you catch yourself looking way out past the vineyards and just feel like you could stay there for hours. I remember walking up the front path and hearing nothing but birds for a bit then the lake comes into sight and honestly you just stop thinking about anything else.

You know how some houses feel like they are part of what makes the place special Well this one really does. You are right on the edge of the old Vaud village which means nobody rushes here everyone just seems to go at their own pace. Geneva and Lausanne are only a quick car trip away it is so close to the main highway and both Allaman and Rolle stations are both just down the road. For families with kids you will notice all the top international schools are pretty much within reach and there are always kids riding around on their bikes in the evenings which gives things a bit of that Swiss countryside community feeling.

The villa itself is unlike any I have seen around here. You have about six thousand square feet of real space to spread out and most of it just flows into the next part of the house without feeling too big or cold. The style is kind of classic but the materials and finishes are totally modern. I think it really feels both welcoming and high end without being over the top. There is a geothermal heating system which is good for the planet and your bills actually. You will not really notice it working but it keeps every room just comfortable even when winter shows up.

If you have got plenty of people plus guests you are going to love the garage spaces. Eight cars can fit easily. There is a private suite option for guests or maybe staff living here too. The downstairs is where everything happens. There is a pretty impressive entertainment area with an indoor pool. The big sliding doors open right to the terrace and honestly you will quickly start daydreaming about those long lazy afternoons friends over and the Alps on every side. There is a big wine cellar and even a catering zone with pro appliances. I tried sitting by the pool for a while and it is strangely peaceful you would barely know you are anywhere near a village at all.

The kitchen is Italian made Boffi and has all the fancy gadgets you probably want but it is open enough that cooking is easy if that is what you enjoy. People can hang out at the island or sit in the nearby dining space and it never feels cramped. Kids sometimes end up in the playroom or family room on the north side where you just hear their voices muffled from the kitchen. It really is a house for everyday life not just for show.

The main living area is all about the view. You walk through from the hall and the first thing you notice is the way the big windows frame out the Alps and you get all this natural light. The fireplace is one of those things you will actually use come autumn and the wood floors run straight out to the huge terrace with nothing blocking the view. There is also an office tucked away that has its own private entrance so someone can work without interrupting the rest of the house. That space could even become another apartment for grown up kids or in laws or anyone who needs privacy.

Upstairs is all about sleep and time together. The main suite faces both the Alps and the Jura so sunsets can be seriously beautiful up there. You will notice the walk in closet is more like its own sitting room and every bathroom feels movie set ready. Three more bedrooms upstairs and two more bathrooms mean everyone really has their own space. All the finishes have that solid Swiss quality everywhere you look. Nothing flashy just a sense everything was made properly and designed for real life.

It is pretty rare to find something with this balance. You can have a big group here with staff to help or make it just for two and nothing feels awkward or too much either way. The gardens invite you out most days and you get this complete privacy that is hard to come by so close to Lake Geneva. Some places are just built for people who like details done well and this home is another level for that.

Honestly though the only way to know if it fits is to walk through and let it settle on you. If you want to see the villa in Bougy Villars or just have a chat about the area you can reach out any time. At LuxuryProperty.com we just want to help people find a home that feels right.
