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 Natural Park and 50 minutes from Geneva. The castle offers approximately 760 m² of usable floor space, including 350 m² of living space, 11 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, woodlands, 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. In this regard, a project to create eco-lodges in the heart of nature, as well as the construction of an event venue capable of accommodating up to 250 people, has been pre-approved by the urban planning authorities.Since the property is not classified as a historic monument, renovations were streamlined and carried out with respect for the preservation of the site, while highlighting its history: vaulted ceilings, monumental fireplaces, stone staircases, and original woodwork have been carefully preserved. The barn, cellar, and attic areas offer first-rate potential for development. This combination of heritage character, a wellness-oriented setting, and commercial potential appeals to a discerning and visionary clientele: buyers seeking an exclusive, prestigious residence; developers of unique hospitality or event venues; and local or international organizations looking for a venue surrounded by nature.
