Details and Contacts
The Domaine du Très-Haut is a magnificent 12th-century Cistercian priory located in Montanges (France), set within a 3.6-hectare estate south of the Haut-Jura Nature Park and 50 minutes from Geneva. | The castle offers approximately 880 m² of usable floor space, including 350 m² of living space, 12 rooms—seven of which are bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms—spacious reception rooms, and a separate apartment in the north tower. The peaceful, lush grounds feature gardens, tree-lined meadows, forests, a swimming pool, an eight-person hot tub, and a Nordic bath. Carefully maintained and renovated, the property comprises six parcels of land that include the château, meadows, and wooded areas. |
The Domaine du Très-Haut already operates a bed-and-breakfast business certified by Gîtes de France (4-épis rating, high quality) and regularly hosts weddings, seminars, and private receptions. This business can be taken over immediately and has significant potential for growth. To that end, a project to create eco-lodges in the heart of nature, as well as the construction of an event venue capable of accommodating a large number of guests, has been pre-approved by the urban planning authorities. | Since the property is not classified as a historic monument, renovations were facilitated and carried out with respect for the preservation of the site, as well as the enhancement of its history: vaulted ceilings, monumental fireplaces, stone staircases, and original woodwork have been carefully preserved. The barn (300 m²), cellars (120 m²), and attic (160 m²) offer first-rate potential for development. | This combination of heritage character, a serene setting, and operational potential appeals to a discerning and visionary clientele: private buyers seeking an exclusive, prestigious residence who, if they so desire, may wish to continue hosting guests or events. A unique opportunity for local or international organizations seeking a venue surrounded by nature for retreats or professional seminars. | Purchase of the château’s furnishings: EUR 60,000 | Business assets (website and client portfolio): EUR 40,000 | Annecy is 45 minutes away, the Bellegarde TGV station is 15 minutes away, and Geneva International Airport is 50 minutes away
