Audrey Hepburn’s Former Home Is Up For Sale

Like the look of this utterly romantic estate in Switzerland? Well, it boasts a rather incredible story: it served as Audrey Hepburn’s home for thirty years. Here’s everything you need to know.

Audrey Hepburn’s Former Home Has Hit The Market

Picture the home of a Hollywood star and a tranquil cottage in the Swiss countryside might not be the first thing that springs to mind – but that’s exactly what Audrey Hepburn chose as her favoured retreat from stardom. Bearing the name ‘La Paisible’ (French for ‘the peaceful’), this breathtaking property really does belong in a fairytale.

Hepburn owned the house for thirty years: she purchased it in 1963 and lived there until her death in 1993. Decades later, the estate is as magnificent as ever – it boasts a jaw-dropping 21 rooms, including 12 bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

Meticulous renovations ensured that the property offers an array of contemporary luxuries, from a passenger lift to a heated outdoor pool (plus two indoor garages and enough parking spaces for 15 cars). 

Yet all its period charm remains: you’ll spot terracotta floors, grand fireplaces and a magical garden which proudly showcases a line of ancient trees. The grounds extend to 40 acres, and you can enjoy spectacular views of the Swiss countryside.

Nestled in the picturesque village of Tolochenaz, just a stone’s throw from Lausanne, the sprawling villa offers a rare glimpse into the life of a Hollywood legend. We’re betting it’s got a rather impressive price tag to match…

La Paisible is available through Knight Frank, POA. For more information, visit knightfrank.co.uk
