Perched above the village of Cully, in the municipality of Bourg-en-Lavaux, this detached house built in 1963 enjoys a privileged setting in a protected environment, at the heart of Lavaux, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2007.
Surrounded by vineyards, the property boasts breathtaking panoramic views, with the vines in the foreground, followed by the villages of Cully and Grandvaux, Lake Geneva, and finally the Alps and the Jura Mountains in the background. The scenery changes throughout the day according to the light, offering residents a unique and ever-evolving landscape.
Built on a steeply sloping plot arranged in the characteristic vineyard terraces of Lavaux, the property benefits from beautifully landscaped gardens enhanced by a rich and varied selection of plants, including several exotic species.
It is worth noting that the vineyard (143 m²) has recently been replanted with Chasselas vines. A charming pergola provides the perfect setting to fully enjoy the spectacular views of the lake and mountains.
The property offers four outdoor parking spaces along the access road, in addition to the two spaces in the garage and further parking available in front of it. While the access road is steep, it ensures a high degree of privacy.
The current owners undertook a major renovation in 2002, including the enlargement of several openings, the replacement of most of the windows, and a comprehensive interior refurbishment.
Since then, the property has been meticulously maintained and further enhanced through significant technical improvements, including the installation of photovoltaic solar panels and a battery storage system, and the renovation of the bathrooms as well as the swimming pool and sauna area. Prior to the renovation, the house was divided into two separate apartments.
In its current configuration, the entrance level comprises a spacious hall that can be used as an office or a small lounge, a living and dining area, a separate fitted kitchen, a shower room, and two bedrooms.
One of the bedrooms has been transformed at considerable expense into an intimate music room with lake views, giving the property a distinctive and inspiring atmosphere.
The garden level features a kitchen, a living/dining room, a veranda, two bedrooms, a large bathroom, and a shower room. The boiler room is located at the rear of this level, while the laundry room is situated on the cellar level.
The house is partially excavated along its east-west section and includes cellar areas as well as a traditional wine-tasting room (carnotzet).
Future owners may wish to consider certain technical upgrades over time, notably replacing the current heating system with a renewable energy solution and updating some of the interior finishes.
In summary, this exceptional property will appeal to those who appreciate the unique lifestyle of Lavaux while enjoying easy access to both Lausanne and Vevey.
