Audrey Hepburn's Swiss villa goes on the market for 19 million francs

Audrey Hepburn's Swiss villa goes on the market for 19 million francs

The villa in Vaud where Audrey Hepburn lived for the last 30 years of her life has gone up for sale. It could be yours if you're looking to buy a house for a cool 19 million Swiss francs.

Audrey Hepburn’s villa in Vaud up for sale

The property, known as “La Paisable”, is located in the municipality of Tolochanez, Vaud, around 20 minutes away from Lausanne by car, and 30 minutes from Geneva

Set inside a 16.000-square-metre park, the property’s grounds include an outdoor heated pool, two garages, and enough parking space for 15 cars. Inside the 1.000-square-metre property, there are 12 bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two staircases and a lift. 

Hepburn lived in the Swiss property for 30 years

Knight Frank, the real estate agent listing the property, specifies it as “price on application”, but various media outlets report that the asking price is 19 million Swiss francs. On top of that, the lucky buyer will need to have the right Swiss residence permit to purchase the property. 

Hepburn lived in the property for 30 years until her death in 1993, and raised both of her sons - who went to the local village school - in the house. After her death, her sons lived there on and off for several years before selling the property to a family. Hepburn is buried in the cemetery in the village, within walking distance from the villa.
