Contemporary house with panoramic view above Lake Leman
A privileged address overlooking the Riviera
Perched above Montreux in the sought-after residential area of Chailly, this distinctive contemporary residence offers a rare combination of privacy, architecture, technology and breathtaking views.
From its elevated position, the property looks across the vineyards towards Lake Geneva and the Alps, creating a spectacular backdrop that can be enjoyed from almost every principal living space.
Built in 2008 on a 475 m² plot, the house provides approximately 230 m² of living space and generous interior volumes of around 1,262 m³. Its south-facing orientation and extensive glazing fill the interiors with natural light throughout the day, while the carefully designed terraces extend the living areas towards the lake.
Architecture designed around the view
The heart of the home is a generous open-plan living environment where the lounge, dining area and kitchen come together as one sophisticated yet welcoming space.
The relationship between indoors and outdoors is one of the property's defining features. Large glazed openings frame the surrounding landscape and lead directly onto several terraces, creating different places in which to dine, entertain or simply enjoy the ever-changing panorama.
The fully fitted kitchen combines contemporary design with practical functionality, featuring a granite worktop and a complete range of integrated appliances.
A bedroom and shower room on this level provide valuable flexibility, whether used for guests, a teenager, a private workspace or an independent area within the home.
Generous private quarters
The upper level reveals another dimension of the property, with impressive cathedral ceilings adding height and character to the bedrooms.
Five bedrooms provide ample accommodation for family and guests. The master suite is particularly attractive, offering fitted wardrobes, a private bathroom and its own balcony overlooking Lake Geneva. Even the bathroom benefits from the spectacular setting, with a window framing the lake and mountains.
One of the bedrooms has been conceived as a flexible duplex space. Its lower level is currently used as an office, while the mezzanine above has been transformed into a private home cinema ? an arrangement that could easily be adapted to suit the needs of a new owner.
Additional bedrooms benefit from balcony access, while a generous family bathroom and separate laundry room complete the sleeping quarters.
Connected, secure and future-oriented
Beyond its architectural qualities, the property has been progressively upgraded with modern technology.
A comprehensive home automation system, developed between 2021 and 2025, allows numerous functions to be managed centrally or remotely, including lighting, blinds, awnings, heating and irrigation.
The property is also equipped with water and gas leak detection, security and video surveillance systems, providing an additional level of comfort and reassurance.
The heating system has benefited from a modernized remote monitoring and control solution, further enhancing the home's efficiency and ease of use.
Producing its own energy
The residence has also been designed with a strong focus on energy self-consumption.
A 10.5 kW photovoltaic installation, completed in 2025, generates electricity directly on site. The system contributes to the property's daily electrical consumption, supports hot-water production and is connected to an electric vehicle charging station.
The result is a home that combines contemporary comfort with a more considered approach to energy use and long-term sustainability.
Outdoor living with Lake Geneva as the backdrop
The property's terraces are an integral part of its lifestyle offering.
A 22.34 m² balcony-terrace and a separate 22.30 m² terrace both face Lake Geneva, while a further 35.08 m² terrace opens directly onto the garden.
Together, these spaces offer multiple opportunities to enjoy the setting throughout the day ? from breakfast in the morning sun to evening gatherings overlooking the lights of the Riviera.
A double garage and three additional outdoor parking spaces provide generous parking capacity for residents and guests.
A home that has been thoughtfully maintained
The property has benefited from a programme of improvements over recent years, including exterior cladding, interior and exterior painting, terrace renovation, new awnings, landscaping and improved access to the garden.
Its technical infrastructure has also been progressively modernized, with the development of the home automation system, heating controls, photovoltaic installation, solar-assisted hot-water production and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Chailly-Montreux: tranquillity within easy reach
The location is one of the property's strongest assets.
Chailly offers the feeling of a peaceful hillside village surrounded by vineyards and greenery, while remaining only minutes from Montreux and the amenities of the Riviera.
Schools, restaurants, shops, cultural venues and the lake are all easily accessible. Public transport provides convenient connections, while the nearby A9 motorway offers direct routes towards Lausanne, Vevey and the Valais.
For those who appreciate an active outdoor lifestyle, the surrounding vineyards and countryside provide a network of walking routes, with the lake and Alpine landscape constantly forming part of the scenery.
A rare opportunity on the Vaud Riviera
This is more than a contemporary family home. It is a private vantage point over Lake Geneva, combining generous accommodation with exceptional outdoor living, modern technology and an enviable position above Montreux.
For families looking for space, privacy and connectivity ? or for international buyers seeking an exceptional residence on the Swiss Riviera ? this property offers a compelling combination of lifestyle and long-term value.
