About the Property

Château de Buffavent, a 15th-century noble residence, stands as a fortified manor in the heart of the Chablais region, France. This distinguished property, built by the Lords of Langin, is set upon a natural terrace within a 10-hectare estate, approximately 1 hour from Geneva and Lake Geneva. The château has been listed on the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments since 1944. The robust silhouette of the château is flanked by four towers, one of which was reconstructed in the 19th century. Its remarkable surroundings include landscaped gardens, an arboretum, a deer park, a tennis court, a mini football pitch, and a basketball area, creating a unique harmony between nature and refinement. With approximately 1,204 m² of interior space, the château offers fourteen spacious bedrooms, with the potential to add two more, several lounges and reception rooms, as well as a vast annex suitable for various uses, ideal for extending the residential or event-hosting capabilities of the property. The main structural work was entirely redone in the 2010s, with approximately 75% of the château's renovation complete, including the partitioning of future bedrooms, the installation of an elevator, underfloor heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems, bathrooms and toilets, as well as windows and doors. The exterior works are about 80% complete, with sports fields needing finalization, and outdoor lighting and fencing still requiring completion. A recent change of use authorization now permits hospitality and restaurant activities, enhancing the property's potential.
