Located just 45 minutes from Geneva and one hour from Annecy, this 12th-century château stands in a pristine natural setting, south of the Haut-Jura Regional Nature Park.

A true architectural gem, it seamlessly blends historical heritage, serenity, and contemporary comfort.

Carefully renovated over the past fifteen years, the château offers approximately 350 m² of living space, comprising ten generously proportioned rooms, including spacious reception salons and six bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

Remarkable period features – finely crafted stone staircases, monumental fireplaces, antique floors, and original arrow slits – give the residence its unique and authentic character.

The estate spans 3.6 hectares of landscaped parkland, offering absolute tranquility and unobstructed views of the Jura Mountains.

The outdoor spaces feature exceptional wellness amenities: an outdoor swimming pool, eight-person jacuzzi, spa area with Nordic bath, all complemented by high-speed fiber-optic internet.

Vaulted cellars, adjoining outbuildings, approximately 300 m² of developable space, and usable attic areas provide rare development potential.

An independent Gîtes de France-certified cottage, comprising a living room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, completes the estate.

Already successfully operated as a guesthouse and cottage, the property benefits from an established commercial activity and offers numerous growth opportunities:

Potential to create two additional cottages of approximately 98 m² each

Possibility to develop a 160 m² penthouse apartment

Opportunity to establish up to 10 light structures, with preliminary approval from planning authorities for a revision of the local urban plan in the tourist zone

Access is excellent: Bellegarde TGV station 15 minutes away, A40 motorway nearby, Geneva Airport 45 minutes, and Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport one hour.

Rare on the market, Château de Montagnes appeals to discerning buyers seeking a truly unique property.
