The Swiss retreat where Audrey Hepburn spent the final 30 years of her life asks $20.8M for sale

The serene Swiss estate where Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn resided for her final three decades is now up for sale asking $20.8 million.

Located near Geneva and the French border in the small Francophone town of Tolochenaz, “La Paisible” — which fittingly translates to “peaceful place” — was Hepburn’s retreat from the spotlight from 1963 until her passing in 1993.

The legendary actress, whose charm and elegance captivated audiences worldwide, is buried in the town’s cemetery just minutes away.

After her death, Hepburn’s sons sold the 18th-century farmhouse to Katharina and Jean-Marc Beaujolin in 2001.

Now, more than two decades later, the couple is ready to move on.

“We’ve decided to do some downsizing, because it’s just the two of us in this big house, and it felt like the right moment to make a change,” Katharina Beaujolin told Bloomberg in an interview.

The sprawling property offers 12 bedrooms and eight bathrooms across 10,800 square feet, sitting on a 40-acre lot with mountain views.
