Exceptional villa with private lake
Located in Amphion-les-Bains, close to Switzerland, this exceptional villa enjoys a peaceful and enchanting environment.
"Port Bassaraba" is an extraordinary property on the shores of Lake Geneva, benefiting from a unique feature: a private body of water in full ownership.
The view of the enchanting landscape of Amphion Bay was a source of inspiration for the poet Anna de Noailles, daughter of the Prince of Brancovan.
It was in part of the garden of the Brancovans' family summer estate that Port Bassaraba was built in the mid-20th century.
Touched and inspired in turn by the site, in 1965 the great local architect Maurice Novarina, academician, designed this audacious villa with modernist architecture, combining large glass surfaces with avant-garde proportions, privileging the unique environment.
Edified in a U-shape, its generous, balanced and harmonious spaces house 7 bedrooms and spacious living areas plunging directly into Lake Geneva facing Lausanne and the Vaud coast.
The property features a harbor, a private beach, a 20-meter pontoon, a double slipway with motorized launching.
The total surface area of the building is around 700 m² and the surface area of the plot is over 6000 m².
While Maurice Novarina considered this villa to be one of his most accomplished works, many talents once rubbed shoulders in this exceptional garden around Anna de Noailles. Among them: Maurice Barrès, Henry Bordeaux, Marcel Proust and Paderewski...
From this era remain the garden designs intended by the Prince of Brancovan, notably waterfalls and fountains, but also remarkable rare tree species.
A succession of noble and prestigious names constitutes the origin of the "Port Bassaraba" property.
The property was largely renovated in 2011.
