Buy property in the region of Yverdon-les-Bains

A unique setting recognized by UNESCO

Nestled between the Jura and the southwest end of Lake Neuchâtel, 60 km (37 mi) southwest of Bern, the region of Yverdon-les-Bains is beautiful and rich with an incredible historical heritage. Like many Swiss domains, particularly in the canton of Vaud, the landscapes offer a unique living environment between the lake, mountains, and countryside.

To buy property in the suburbs of the historic city of Yverdon-les-Bains is to secure a home surrounded by large spaces, vineyards, and fields. It’s to become the owner of a large charming residence built with beautiful stones and towers that give it the imagery of an elegant chateau.

Buyers who choose to live in this beautiful region can acquire a house by the lake or a renovated apartment on a delightful pedestrian street among other enchanting buildings of one of Switzerland’s oldest cities. Illuminated with light, the old town is quite spectacular. At Place Pestalozzi, with its neoclassical facades, the Temple, built in 1757, is a gem. With a population of more than 30,000 inhabitants, Yverdon-Les-Bains is a vibrant city that’s more than happy to still live in its glory days.

Live in the city and sail on the largest lake completely situated in Swiss territory. Why deprive yourself of such happiness? For those who simply do not have sea legs, admire the sunrise on the shores of Estavayer-le-Lac or Yverdon-les-Bains.

This region is also a place to rejuvenate at the luxurious Centre Thermal Yverdon-les-Bains  (its notoriety dates back to the Roman era) built around a hot spring (sulfurous) with a temperature that can rise to 29-degrees Celsius.
