The quiet Swiss wealth where Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn lived for its last three decades is now on sale demanding $ 20.8 million.
Located near Geneva and the French border in the small town of Francophone, Tolochenaz, “La Paisible” – which is appropriately translated into “peaceful place” – was the attraction of hepburn from the attention of 1963 to its password in 1993. Elegance amazed the audience around the world, is buried in the city cemetery just minutes away.
After her death, Hepburn’s sons were sold on the 18th-century farm in Katharina and Jean-Marc Beaujolin in 2001.
Now, more than two decades later, the couple is ready to continue.
“We have decided to make some reductions because they are only in this big house, and it was felt like the right time to make a difference,” Katharina Beaujolin told Bloomberg in an interview.
The widespread property offers 12 bedrooms and eight bathrooms across 10.800 square meters, sitting in a 40 hectare with mountain views.
“Switzerland remains a major choice for families carefully taxing, with a steady course of new questions exploring its various living offers throughout the cantons,” Alex Koch of Gooreynd, partner in Missing Brokerage Knight Frank, for posting in a state.
“While not the most affordable tax jurisdiction, Switzerland lies for its extraordinary stability, personal security and world class education.”
“It is easy to see why Audrey Hepburn adored the environment, where she enjoyed complete intimacy and a staggering surroundings,” he added.
Inside, the house feels numerous fires, a library and a renewed and modernized cuisine from Beauujolin, who took a hand access to cooking.
“The decoration was Audrey Hepburn and it was wow – a lot of flowers everywhere on the curtains, and it was probably a little out of fashion,” she told Outlet.
As the house is updated, the influence of Hepburn remains in the gardens, where bushes with talented white roses from the Givenchy high -fashion house still blooms.
“When Audrey Hepburn turned 60, she got 60 bushes with white roses sent and had a rose garden plant, and half of them are still there,” Beaujolin said, though she admitted that some did not survive over time.
Beyond her descent in Hollywood, wealth was a beloved family home for Beauujolins, who raised their six children there.
The lush bases waited two of their sound weddings, with 150 guests celebrating on the wide lawns.
A 50 -legged glowing pool became the place of summer for family and friends.
“It’s a beautiful place to invite friends during the summer when children are around with their families,” Beaujolin said. “They also like to have holidays here with friends who have young children, so the pool becomes very active.”
Despite the occasional visitors stopping to capture photos of the outer plate of the house bearing the name of Hepburn, Beaujolin said it was never intruders. If anything, it developed in it.
“Actually actually very touching because she died more than 30 years ago now, and that people still want to see where she lives shows how much it would say about people,” she noted.
As the couple prepares to say goodbye to their home, Beaujoli reflects on what made the property so special.
“At first it was – yes, it’s Audrey Hepburn’s home, but after all, you forget this,” she admitted.
“Now of course, we’re thinking again about Hepburn because it’s a good argument for buyers.”
