Prestigious residence with open panoramic views over the Gruyère region
Perched on the heights of the municipality of Sorens, this exceptional residence enjoys a rare dominant position, offering an open panorama of over 180 degrees across Lake Gruyère, Moléson, and the Fribourg Pre-Alps. The setting is truly spectacular, combining alpine relief with expansive lake views in a preserved and tranquil environment. The property was meticulously designed around a noble wood?cherry?which elegantly defines the interior identity of the house. Set on a 3,035 sqm plot, the residence offers approximately 500 sqm of living space, with a total usable area exceeding 580 sqm. The volumes were conceived to create generous living areas and to ensure a constant connection with the outdoors. An elevator serves all three levels of the house, providing optimal comfort and full accessibility throughout. From the moment you enter, the character of the property is immediately apparent. The spacious, light-filled entrance hall leads to several reception areas. A large kitchen, avant-garde for its time, opens onto an expansive panoramic terrace that serves as a true extension of the living spaces. The dining room and living room provide an ideal setting for entertaining. A guest suite, designed as a private hosting area, completes this level and also benefits from direct access to the terrace. On the upper floor, an open gallery arranged as a home office and warmed by a Swedish stove overlooks the living room, enhancing the sense of volume and openness. The master suite stands out for its high standard, featuring a large custom-made dressing room and a bathroom equipped with a bathtub, jacuzzi, and shower. The additional bedrooms, all oriented towards the breathtaking views, benefit in some cases from direct access to terraces, while the bathrooms meet high standards of comfort and functionality. The lower ground floor, fully fitted and far beyond a purely technical level, includes a laundry room with external access, a climate-controlled wine cellar, several multi-purpose rooms, a large dressing and luggage storage area, and a space that can be dedicated to a fitness room, professional use, or guest accommodation. The underground garage, directly connected to the house, can accommodate several vehicles under optimal conditions and also offers additional space for motorcycles, bicycles, or other equipment. The construction largely meets current environmental standards. The property is equipped with a heat pump with geothermal probes, underfloor heating, reinforced perimeter insulation, and wood?metal triple-glazed windows. Beyond its architectural qualities and exceptional panorama, the property also benefits from a notable tax advantage. The municipality of Sorens offers a tax coefficient below the cantonal average of Fribourg, a particularly attractive factor for a clientele attentive to the overall optimisation of their living environment. In addition, the location enjoys a highly strategic level of accessibility, with Sorens situated approximately 55 minutes from Bern, 50 minutes from Lausanne, and 75 minutes from Geneva International Airport.
