The Historic Villa Beauregard: A Jewel of Architectural Elegance in Montreux.
Built in 1891-1892 for Ami Chessex, Villa Beauregard stands as a distinguished personal residence and a majestic villa-château that epitomizes the opulence of the Neo-Louis XIII era. Its brick facades and original woodwork by Maison Held exude authenticity and refinement.
Rich in cultural heritage, the villa housed the ateliers of renowned sculptors Negri and Uberti from 1909, located in its basement. These spaces, which inspired the creation of exceptional works of art, could now be transformed into stimulating living or working environments.
One of the property’s distinctive features was its original semicircular orangery, gracefully set in the southeast garden. It promised tranquility, perfect for sunny mornings or serene evenings.
Villa Beauregard is more than a home; it is a fragment of history and a cradle for a luxurious and cultured lifestyle. It now awaits new owners ready to pen their chapter in its storied legacy, offering not just a residence but an unparalleled experience.
Our Private Office is proud to present this unique opportunity—a chance to own a piece of Montreux’s history and an iconic estate in this prestigious region.
Perched along the Quai des Fleurs, Villa Beauregard sits in a privileged residential area with breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. The scarcity of properties in this area highlights the exclusivity of this offering, where recent apartment prices range between CHF 15,000 and CHF 25,000 per m².
This is more than an apartment—it is a building of 11,500 m³ spanning four floors, plus duplex arcades, where space and architecture blend harmoniously. Once a boarding school for girls and later a family residence since 1996, it is now ready for a new chapter.
