The Royal Estate and Château de Merlinge in Switzerland

This property is on the market with Cardis Sotheby’s International Realty. Price is disclosed upon application with the listing agency.

This historical gem, originally built as the centerpiece of a farm complex, boasts 8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and a living space of 16,145 square feet. 

Situated on a vast 123-acre estate, the property is steeped in centuries of noble ownership.

The Royal Estate’s story unfolds through the ages, from six farm buildings in the Middle Ages to a fortified house in the 16th century. 

The Château de Merlinge dates back to 1625 and the property became a refuge for free thinkers during the Reformation. 

Left in disrepair in the 19th century, the estate found new life in the 20th century and became the residence of the Queen of Italy in 1942.

Château de Merlinge is more than a property; it's a living legacy that encapsulates the charm of Swiss heritage. 

The Swiss chateau is surrounded by French gardens and terraced grounds, as well as a 78-foot swimming pool. 

Located in Meinier, near Lake Geneva, Château de Merlinge strikes the perfect balance between tranquility and convenience.
