castles for sale Jura, France

Located in the Jura region, less than 15 minutes from the A39 motorway and a TGV station, this superb 15th-century château was renovated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This property offers considerable potential given its layout, surroundings, and the space it provides through its numerous outbuildings. The château, of manageable size, is equally suitable as a primary or secondary residence, or for a bed and breakfast project. Its size, interior layout, and magnificent attic can accommodate 7 to 8 luxury bedrooms, in addition to a private area for the owners. Beneath the château are magnificent vaulted cellars, but above all, a fully equipped and renovated space (over 1000 m²) ideal for an event and/or restaurant business. A second property, formerly a mill and more recently a restaurant, adjoins the château and is already operational; this property could also be used to create additional bedrooms. A six-room gatehouse marks the entrance to the château, along with outbuildings and garages. This superb property boasts a swimming pool with a pool house. A stream with its canal and a crystal-clear pond complete the picture. All this on over 7 hectares. This is a real opportunity for tourism-related projects (bed and breakfast, weddings, family reunions). There is also the possibility of adding a wine-growing operation (AOC-classified region). A rare, even unique, property in Franche-Comté.

15TH-CENTURY ESTATE IN DOMBLANS In Domblans, on the banks of the Seille and nestled within lush greenery, this 15th-century château has stood the test of time. A stately home, it retains a distinctive presence, thanks to its ancient stonework and its setting within the Jura landscape. Behind its porch, nearly 800 m² of living space opens onto a 7-hectare park, a lake and several outbuildings. An estate where history and nature strike a perfect balance. A PRESENCE ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE JURA The Château de Domblans is part of a deep-rooted historical legacy, situated on the banks of the Seille, within a landscape shaped by vineyards, stone and water. Over the centuries, the property has evolved, transforming itself with restraint. The 19th-century restorations then served to affirm its architectural identity, in a respectful dialogue with the existing structure. The château thus became a discreet witness to regional history, passing through the ages without ever severing its ties to the land. The courtyard arranges the buildings and creates a sense of distance between each structure. Below, the pond forms a self-contained water feature, bordered by dense vegetation. The pathways are organised between the courtyard and the landscape. The stone terraces extend the rooms out to the thresholds. Further down, the swimming pool is situated within a defined, mineral-like space, set back from the main circulation routes. LIVED-IN ARCHITECTURE, BETWEEN VOLUMES AND MATERIALS From the entrance, the materials make a striking impression. The façades, the old stones, the openings and the lines of the building create a presence that is both understated and structured. Inside, the original features complement the spaces: exposed beams, vaults, fireplaces, wood panelling, old floors and generous ceiling heights. The spaces unfold fluidly, revealing varied perspectives and living areas that are both intimate and open. Fifteen living rooms and seven bedrooms, some on the ground floor, create a layout ideal for family life and entertaining. The whole retains a warm, almost timeless atmosphere, where every detail contributes to a sense of rootedness and continuity. A PROPERTY OPEN TO NATURE AND ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES Surrounding the château, the 7-hectare grounds feature a progressive layout of spaces, alternating between open areas and more secluded sections. Pathways wind their way through, connecting the buildings, the immediate surroundings and the more distant parts of the estate. The pond lies below, bordered by dense vegetation, and serves as a visual focal point. Centuries-old trees frame the views and filter the scenery, whilst the orchard and springs extend this diversity of atmospheres. The outdoor areas allow for a variety of uses, ranging from receptions and outdoor activities to more secluded spaces. The whole site flows seamlessly between the castle's surroundings and the more natural parts of the estate. The outbuildings extend this concept. The barn, orangery, former stables, workshops, cellars and attic form a collection of distinct, pre-existing structures. Each space can be put to use immediately as required. The site can thus accommodate daily life, accommodation or events, building on the existing layout. This capacity for adaptation fits seamlessly into the estate's continuity, without disrupting its balance. THE AGENCY'S VIEW We are struck by the authenticity of this place, its integration into the landscape and the harmony between architecture, nature and history. This château, with its park and pond, offers a living experience that bridges the past and the future.

We offer you this exceptional property aimed at enthusiasts of history and French heritage. Located in the heart of the French Jura, this classified castle is just 10 minutes from Geneva by air and 1 hour by road. Its accessibility is conducive to organizing international events. Built on a 132-hectare estate, this building from the 13th century is the archetype of a fortress with its keep, towers, and drawbridges crossing the moat that surrounds it. At the end of the 19th century, it was purchased by a wealthy industrialist from Lyon who restored it in Renaissance style, earning the title of 'Best Restoration in France.' In 2002, the current owner acquired it and completed its restoration by 2007 according to historical, artistic, scientific, and technical criteria, thus listing it among the historical monuments of France. Passing through the entrance gate, an avenue of centennial trees leads you to the grounds of the castle, an ancient barony from the 16th century. The authenticity of the site has been carefully preserved through the developments that have made it a very comfortable residence. It boasts a living area of 4000 m2 encompassing 70 rooms spread over 3 floors, including 24 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms. The royal stables are a gem for horse riders, comprising 8 large boxes, as well as a riding arena and a sand dressage area from Fontainebleau. Behind the castle, several buildings have also been restored: - The service building is dedicated to housing service staff. It includes several apartments, a dormitory, and a cafeteria. Various workshops like the forge, bakery, or carpentry are integral to the building. - The gardener's house - The farm (the only building not restored) A surrounding wall encloses the property over 80 hectares. Numerous gravel or paved paths serve the different parks leading to the sublime French-style garden structured over 20 hectares, between forests, mountains, and vineyards. Water is very present throughout the property thanks to an English river, stone canals, waterfalls, and a pond. This castle is a marvel for lovers of history and old stones.
