Territet · Montreux · Swiss Riviera · Vaud
Ideally positioned in the prestigious lakeside district of Territet, within immediate proximity to the centre of Montreux, this remarkable historic residence enjoys an exceptional waterfront setting with breathtaking panoramic views over Lake Geneva and the surrounding Alps.
Known as Villa Beauregard, this distinguished mansion was originally built around 1880 by Amy Chessex for private family use and represents an outstanding example of Belle Époque architecture on the Swiss Riviera.
Set on a beautifully landscaped plot of approximately 2,587 m², the property offers approximately 1,200 m² of living space distributed over four levels, comprising 24 spacious and light-filled rooms.
The residence is distinguished by its remarkable architectural proportions and exceptional historical character. According to local history, Amy Chessex designed the residence with a particular fascination for the number seven, resulting in a unique architectural layout where each floor contains seven principal rooms and many spaces feature five or seven openings, including doors and windows.
The villa benefits from outstanding reception areas and preserved historical features, including elegant Belle Époque architecture, exceptional ceiling mouldings and decorative details, magnificent solid wood parquet flooring, grand reception and entertaining rooms, generous interior volumes throughout and spectacular lake and mountain views.
The property extends across four levels and offers numerous possibilities for both private family living and prestigious entertaining. The exterior spaces include three balconies with panoramic views, large terraces overlooking Lake Geneva, landscaped gardens with automatic irrigation system, extensive storage facilities and utility spaces, and a garage box with additional outbuildings.
The property also offers significant development potential, including the possibility of creating an indoor swimming pool, private wellness and spa area, fitness centre, and entertainment or event spaces.
