Château de Montanges, Montanges, Rhône 01200

Medieval Castle of the XIIth Century Elegance and Authenticity Located 50 minutes from Geneva and 1 hour from Annecy, south of the Haut-Jura Natural Park, this magnificent twelfth-century castle extends over a green estate of 3.6 hectares. Its majestic architecture, enhanced by its two square towers and preserved historical elements, gives it a unique character. A Carefully Renovated Castle Completely renovated over the last 15 years, this castle combines medieval charm with modern comforts. Offering 350 m of living space, it consists of about ten rooms, including large bright reception rooms and six bedrooms with private bathrooms. Period features such as the dressed stone staircase, monumental fireplaces, old floors and loopholes bear witness to the rich past of this exceptional residence. A Prestigious Estate and its Services This haven of peace offers well-being facilities and spaces that can be converted: Outdoor swimming pool, spa and Nordic bath Several vaulted cellars in the basement Additional 200 m of space to be exploited Convertible attic space (260 m) Independent cottage (labeled Gtes de France) with living room/kitchen, bathroom and 2 bedrooms High investment potential The castle already benefits from a commercial activity of bed and breakfast with 5 rooms and 1 gte, generating an annual turnover of around 85, 000. In addition, the property can be privatized for various events: weddings, birthdays, seminars, team-building, etc. . Expansion and Optimization Possibilities The total surface area of the property is 770 m (excluding the attic), of which 460 m can still be converted. An extension project would allow the creation of 2 additional gtes of 98 m each and an attic apartment of 160 m. In addition, a request for modification of the PLU has been submitted to requalify the estate as a tourist area, allowing the installation of 10 light accommodations (8 lodges and 2 tree houses), thus doubling the potential turnover.
