At the gateway to Lausanne and Lavaux, the Château de Bochat is nestled in a setting with exceptional panoramic views.

With over one hectare on the Paudex hillside, this verdant haven, overlooking the lake, is just minutes from the city while offering privacy and tranquility.

Access is via a gravel courtyard bordered by shrubs and flowerbeds. On one side, it leads to the main outbuilding, which includes a garage and a function room (carnotzet), and on the other, to a second garage.

The grounds, with over 100 mature trees planted out of sight, feature a romantic driveway. A swimming pool with a pool house completes the picture-perfect setting; a privileged space for unforgettable moments. The pool terrace enhances the charming grounds, ideal for relaxation and special occasions.

The château boasts 12.5 rooms spread across over 500 m² of living space (with a total usable area of approximately 700 m², as the attic is only partially converted). The rooms are generously proportioned, with a reception area of around 180 m² that flows seamlessly onto a large terrace.

The kitchen, with its vintage charm, benefits from beautiful morning light. It includes a service entrance, a dining area, and a pantry. The monumental fireplace in the living room, the stone staircase, the exposed beams, and certain doorways are reminders of the château's heritage. The reception rooms, arranged in a bright and airy space, create a welcoming atmosphere enhanced by the southwest exposure, high ceilings, and panoramic windows.

The château comprises 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 4 separate toilets, distributed between the first floor and the converted attic. The spacious first-floor hall serves as a living area in its own right. The basement, occupying a third of the building's footprint, practically completes the existing layout.

A complete renovation is planned.

Technical Information

The castle is listed as a Grade 1 site (of national interest), while the outbuilding and garage are listed as Grade 2 (of regional interest).
The property is located in a low-density area; the southern and western parts of the plot are in a green zone.
The natural slope of this hillside ensures that future construction on the plot below to the southwest, under the canopy of trees, will not obstruct the view of the lake and mountains. Construction to the southeast will have a limited impact, depending on the sightlines and the slope of these plots.

An exceptional property transformed into a family home for nearly a century!

The first traces of the castle date back to 1233, and its current form likely dates from the mid-15th century. This building, originally a fortified farmhouse, has long been linked to the vineyards that surrounded it.

The wine press, which occupied the entire ground floor of the château, was converted into a dwelling almost a century ago, in 1928. At that time, the new owner, an Argentinian captivated by the view, undertook the restoration of the château, transforming it into a comfortable home while preserving its authenticity.

The façades were stripped of their plaster to reveal the dressed stone beneath.

The dining room was meticulously finished by the renowned Montreux carpenter, Albert Held.

Since then, the château has primarily served as a very large family home.

In 75 years, this property has been home to five generations of the same family.

At the gateway to Lausanne and Lavaux, Château de Bochat is situated in an environment with an exceptional panorama.
