TENNIS ace Roger Federer is set to move into a £6.5 million glass mansion on the shores of a Swiss lake.
Roger Federer’s stunning new home
The state-of-the-art three-storey building, with a swimming pool and magnificent views stretching across Lake Zurich, is finally complete.
In addition to Federer’s house there are two luxury apartments, one of which is believed to be for his parents Robert and Lynette.
The building is called The Residence and is in Wollerau in canton (administrative region) Schwyz.
It has floor-to-ceiling windows and large balconies overlooking the lake.

The tennis ace will be relaxing in this swanky pad
Federer, 33, moved from his birthplace of Basel to the “tax paradise” of Wollerau in March 2008.
It is one of the lowest tax municipalities in Europe.
It is about 20 minutes from Zurich and an hour’s drive to Basel.
The liberal tax structure has attracted other multi-millionaires.
Formula One drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa and the former UBS chairman Marcel Ospel have all chosen to live in the canton.

The property is 500 metres square
Federer’s new home, on a plot of about 1.5 acres with underground parking, is believed to be worth £6.5 million. There is a glass dome over the living area.
There will be plenty of room in the new abode for Federer and his wife Mirka, 36, and their two sets of twins – five-year-old girls Myla and Charlene and boys Leo and Lenny, born last May. The property is 500 metres square.
Scores of builders have been working to get the impressive structure completed this year.
The developer, Kamata Development, described the project as “prestigious, contemporary architecture with extensive glazing”.
