A Rare Property in Saint-Prex — Two Villas, a Private Jetty, and the Léman at Yo
Picture this. A plot of land sloping gently down to the lake, complete with its own private jetty and boathouse. Before you, Lake Geneva, and on clear days, the Alps drawing their silhouette on the horizon. It is quiet — the kind of quiet that makes you set down your coffee cup and simply take in the view.
The property is, in fact, two houses. The first is a traditional five-room villa with flat-tiled roof, dormer windows, and an enclosed garden of approximately 1,000 m². An independent garage and three parking spaces complete the offering. Everything one needs to live in peace.
The second is more generous in scale. Built in 1989 and extended in 2019, it sits on a 1,700 m² plot of land. Master suite with dressing room and private terrace, dual-aspect living room with fireplace, large picture window opening onto the lake, an independent studio, a double garage and several parking spaces. At the far end of the garden, the jetty leads straight to the water.
What makes this property rare is not so much each villa taken on its own. It is the ensemble. Two houses, a jetty, a boathouse, a garden that meets the lake — in Saint-Prex, this combination is virtually impossible to find. Lakefront properties of this kind can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and most remain in the same families for decades.
The villas would benefit from an energy upgrade: a heat pump and solar power should be considered in the near future.
Saint-Prex itself — its medieval town centre, its shops, its harbour and its beaches — sits at the edge of a lake that makes one forget Lausanne is just twenty-five minutes away, and Geneva forty. A place where one takes the time to live, and where one ultimately wonders why one would live anywhere else.
This is precisely the kind of property that does not stay on the market for long.
