Looking for a new pad? This luxurious Swiss chalet has it all – from its beach and marina and acres of parking to a 1,600-bottle wine cellar and doors made of Swarovski crystal.
All you need is the eye-watering price tag of £13 million!
The property, known as The Chalet, was imported from Switzerland in 1882 and is now a listed building.
Situated on the riverside in Hampton, south-west London, it’s got five floors and four bedrooms, as well as a library, a crystal chandelier, a 1,600 bottle wine cellar, its own beach and marina and 360-degree views of stunning landscaped gardens.
Potential buyers would get acres of surrounding parkland, a mooring for 25 boats and parking for up to 20 cars, as well as an oriental garden complete with Koi Carp swimming below grated metal flooring and a Japanese-styled bridge with handrails in the shape of samurai swords.
Swarovski crystal clear glass doors open to a dining area decorated with original Battle of Waterloo cannons, while its Italian-styled kitchen is kitted out entirely with Gaggenau appliances.
The entire top floor is home to a wooden clad master bedroom with hand basins made of marble and 24 carat gold fixtures, while guest rooms have Japanese pod beds with body massage bed systems to enjoy a soothing massage whilst watching the TV.

The property, which is just minutes away from Henry VIII’s favourite Royal Residence, Hampton Court Palace, also boasts a Roman bath and spa facilities, including a gym, sauna, a second outdoor pool and a therapy room.
But with a guideline price of £13m and 8,000 sq/foot on offer, a potential buyer would be paying £1,625 for each square foot.
A spokesperson from luxury real estate brand, Sotheby’s International Realty, said: “The current owner has restored and interiorly designed the property in very unique and distinctive stages to reflect its heritage.
“The theme is nature so a lot of the interiors are designed with things outside in mind.
“With four bedrooms and en-suites, three large reception rooms, including an indoor party room with 21 metre man-made beach, two luxurious kitchens, what will be the first floating swimming pool on The River Thames in the UK, an indoor spa complex and a wine cellar that can hold up to 1,600 bottles.”
