Acquire the captivating Swiss countryside estate of iconic actress Audrey Hepburn for personal possession.
Living Like a Hollywood Legend: Audrey Hepburn's Swiss Home Hits the Market
Nestled in the serene Swiss countryside, backed by Lake Geneva, stands the picturesque abode that once belonged to the timeless beauty, Audrey Hepburn – La Paisible. For only the second time since her passing in 1993, this enchanting 12-bedroom, eight-bathroom Grade II-listed residence is up for grabs, with an asking price of approximately $21 million.
Steeped in 18th-century charm, La Paisible, meaning 'The Peaceful,' balances elegance and countryside serenity through its terracotta floors and oak parquet, fireplaces, and story-book aesthetics adorned with pastel shutters and climbing vines. With its sweeping 16,000 sq m garden boasting century-old trees, a heated pool, two indoor garages, and space for up to 15 cars – it's clear this home is a haven perfect for those seeking tranquility and breathe-taking surroundings.
A Quiet RetreatTrade the hustle and bustle of Hollywood for the Swiss Alps. It was here that the legendary actress decided to retreat from the spotlight in 1967, during the peak of her fame, to focus on raising her family and cherish a quieter life.
La Paisible became a setting for a new chapter in Hepburn's life, playing host to vibrant dinner parties filled with laughter, legendary friendships, and memorable moments. Among those friends was the French fashion designer, Hubert de Givenchy, with whom she shared a deep bond. Givenchy gifted Hepburn the beautiful rose garden that still thrives today.
A Rare OpportunityNow, La Paisible presents a unique chance to own a piece of Hollywood history, as this estate offers more than just architectural beauty. Nestled in the tranquil village of Tolochenaz, the timeless architecture of La Paisible only adds to its irresistible appeal. Alex Koch de Gooreynd, partner at Knight Frank, perfectly captures the essence of La Paisible: 'Audrey Hepburn adored the environment at La Paisible where she found both complete privacy and breathtaking surroundings.'
