castle for sale Saint-Julien-en-Genevois, France

Built in 1721 by Charles Lullin de Châteauvieux, a member of a prominent Genevan patrician family, Château de Choully embodies the elegance and refinement of XVIIIᵉ century aristocratic architecture. Remarkably preserved, the residence retains its majestic enfilade of five reception rooms, sublimated by delicate woodwork attributed to ornemanist Jean Jaquet. The south-facing main salon offers a spectacular view of Mont Salève, while the historic gardens reveal magnificent vistas all the way to Mont Blanc. The famous Salon Joséphine recalls the visit of Empress Joséphine in 1812, who stayed here during a reception given in her honor. Restored with exceptional care since 2007, the château today combines heritage and contemporary comfort, with modernized infrastructures, thirteen historic fireplaces brought back into service and landscaped grounds featuring a swimming pool and discreet lighting. Protected since 1930 by the Department of Monuments and Sites of the Canton of Geneva, Château de Choully is an exceptional property at the heart of Geneva's heritage.

What appealed to me about Château de Montanges as a hospitality project was the combination of a place that leaves a lasting impression on visitors and an established business already in operation. Its setting, architecture and period features give it a distinctive character that guests can appreciate from the moment they arrive. The estate currently provides tourist accommodation and lends itself to exclusive hire, particularly for weddings and family gatherings. The bedrooms, reception rooms, parkland and swimming pool provide a solid foundation for continuing the business and developing your own offering. I particularly liked the way the spaces complement one another: welcoming interiors where guests can gather, and outdoor areas suited to a ceremony, a cocktail reception or time spent by the pool. Stone staircases, vaulted ceilings and traditional French beamed ceilings all contribute to the experience of staying here. Set in approximately 3.6 hectares of grounds, the château also includes separate accommodation, offering the possibility of living on site while running the estate. Access from Valserhône and Geneva allows the property to appeal both to local guests and to visitors travelling from further afield. The established business provides a starting point for continuing the current activity. The hospitality business is available to purchase for €40,000, with the furniture available for €60,000. The outbuildings and attic spaces offer potential for additional accommodation or services. Further projects have also been explored within the grounds, with initial steps taken to support their development. Whether you are considering a bed and breakfast, exclusive stays, weddings or corporate gatherings, I would be pleased to discuss your project and introduce you to the estate’s current facilities, its operations and its potential.
