The Château de Montanges is a splendid Cistercian priory from the 12th century, located in the heart of a 3.6-hectare estate, south of the Haut-Jura Natural Park and less than an hour from Geneva. The castle offers approximately 760 m2 of usable space, including 350 m² of living space, 11 rooms, including seven bedrooms with bathrooms, spacious reception lounges, and an independent apartment in the north tower. The peaceful and green exteriors feature garden areas, wooded meadows, forests, a swimming pool, an eight-person jacuzzi, and a Nordic bath. Well-maintained and carefully renovated, the whole forms a property of six plots comprising the castle, meadows, and wooded areas. The Domaine du Très-Haut already operates a bed and breakfast business certified by Gîtes de France (4 ears rating, high quality) and regularly hosts weddings, seminars, and private receptions. This business can be taken over immediately, and its development potential is significant. In this regard, a project for the creation of light accommodations (ecolodges) in nature, as well as the installation of an event structure that can accommodate up to 250 people, has been pre-approved by the urban planning authorities. Not being classified as a historical monument, renovations have been facilitated and carried out with respect for the preservation of the site, as well as the enhancement of its history: vaults, monumental fireplaces, stone staircases, and original woodwork have been carefully preserved. The barn areas, cellars, and attics constitute a prime development reserve. This combination of heritage character, well-being environment, and operational potential is aimed at a demanding and visionary clientele: buyers in search of an exclusive prestigious residence, developers of unique reception or event spaces, local or international organizations looking for a welcoming place in nature.
