Tennis ace Roger Federer is set to move into a £6.5million glass mansion in a Swiss tax-haven on the shores of Lake Zurich.
Federer and his family are set to move in to the state-of-the-art three-storey building at the end of the year, and are believed to be joined by his parents Robert and Lynette, who could be the new residents in the two luxury apartments being build in addition to the main home.
The building, called The Residence, is located in Wollerau in Schwyz county, and comes with floor-to-ceiling windows, a swimming pool and large balconies with magnificent views stretching across Lake Zurich.
Almost ready: Tennis player Roger Federer is building a £6.5million 'glass home' on the hills overlooking Lake Zurich
Federer, 33, moved from his birthplace of Basel to the 'tax paradise' of Wollerau in March 2008, one year before marrying Slovakian-born Mirka, 36.
Located about 20 minutes drive from Zurich, and an hour from Basel, Wollerau is one of the lowest tax municipalities in Europe and 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.
Federer's new glass-walled home, being built on a plot of about 1.5 acres with underground parking, is believed to be worth £6.5million.
The 500sq.m property will have plenty of room for Federer, Mirka and their two sets of twins – five-year-old girls Myla and Charlene and boys Leo and Lenny, born last May.

Due to the location on the hillside and the property overlooking the water, there will be no insight into the home, despite the glass walls
