Description

Château El Masr in Cologny is a unique architectural gem, combining Tudor Revival style with historical roots dating back to the 18th century. Situated on a vast landscaped estate of almost 5,000 m², this prestigious property offers spectacular views over Geneva and Lake Geneva. Named "El Masr" (the Egyptian) by Charles Floods, a Scotsman who made his fortune in Egypt in the 19th century, the château reflects a fascinating blend of Gothic and Oriental influences. With its 1,000 m² of living space, spread over three floors, the chateau houses eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and is distinguished by a majestic double marble staircase that adorns the chateau's main entrance. The property boasts many refined living areas, including a sumptuous drawing room, an elegant library and a full-size kitchen. The architecture is adorned with lavish details, such as custom-made chandeliers from Murano, as well as marble statues and fountains imported from Venice, giving the chateau a regal ambience. Highlights also include a seigniorial chapel and a rare three-storey tower, one of the only of its kind in Switzerland, with a tea room on the top floor.The four-year renovation, carried out with specialized craftsmen, has brought the property back to life with the utmost respect for its neo-Elizabethan style. This meticulous restoration has preserved every historic detail while modernizing the facilities. More information on request.
