Montreux Historic Estate — 1864
Montreux · Swiss Riviera · Canton of Vaud
An exceptional historic estate in the heart of Montreux, offering privacy, prestige and remarkable development potential within one of the most sought-after locations on the Swiss Riviera.
Set on a beautifully landscaped plot of approximately 4,373 m², this distinguished property combines historic character with substantial interior volumes, providing approximately 1,000 m² of usable space across four levels.
Originally constructed in 1864 and renovated in 2016, the estate benefits from a rare combination of architectural heritage, generous reception areas and modern functionality.
Surrounded by mature trees and private gardens, the property enjoys a discreet setting only moments from the shores of Lake Geneva, while offering beautiful views of the lake and the Alps.
The scale and configuration of the property make it suitable for a variety of prestigious uses, subject to the necessary authorisations — including private residence, family office headquarters, corporate representation office, embassy or diplomatic residence, educational institution, medical or wellness centre, foundation or association headquarters, or a luxury hospitality or private member concept.
Properties of this scale and historical significance rarely become available in central Montreux. Combining a prestigious address, substantial grounds and flexible future potential, this estate represents a unique opportunity for private investors, institutions and international families seeking a landmark property on the Swiss Riviera.

Why This Property Deserves Your Attention
Strategic Value
Selective Swiss Market
Montreux benefits from sustained international demand and structurally limited residential supply. Switzerland's political and economic stability, combined with the scarcity of quality properties, gives these assets long-term value resilience.
Suitable for International Buyers
Swiss Private Group has reviewed the acquisition conditions applicable to this property for international buyers, including Lex Koller eligibility and residence permit requirements. Further information is available on confidential request.
Rarity and Character
Private villas and estates of this quality are rarely available on the open market. The combination of space, privacy, architectural quality and setting represents an opportunity the market does not reproduce frequently.
