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.

A former hotel-restaurant in a castle, in 12,000-m grounds with a private beach, on the French side of Lake Geneva near the city of the same name. In approximately 12,000-m² landscaped grounds, bordered by an around one-hundred-metre-long beach with a long private jetty, the castle stands in the centre of the property opposite the water’s edge. It is made up of several buildings constructed in a quadrangular layout around a gravelled courtyard, with a keep in the centre and two corner towers. When first built, its moats were probably linked to the lake. Remains of former ramparts and fortification towers surrounding the castle pay witness to its historical character. It is very likely to have been erected by the Counts of Savoy in the late 12th century. It remained a formidable stronghold for a long time, particularly in the confrontations between the Duchy of Savoy and supporters of the reformation from Bern in 1590. The monument was spared by the many conflicts that took place in the region and remains typical of medieval architecture. Following a number of transformations conducted over the centuries, several years ago it was home to a high-quality hotel business. The gardens have been carefully crafted into lawned and wooded spaces. A vast, 7-metre by 15-metre swimming pool and a large jacuzzi standing opposite the lake complete the outdoor amenities.

Nestled in the heart of the Gulf of Coudrée, where the waters of Lake Geneva kiss the French shore, stands Château de Coudrée, a XIIth century heir and discreet witness to centuries gone by. Between Yvoire and Thonon-les-Bains, facing the lake, its weathered walls shelter the rare elegance of a residence that has preserved its soul. Inside, five light-filled reception rooms, two salons with carved woodwork, parquet marquetry floors, and French-style ceilings evoke the art of living of a bygone era. Seventeen bedrooms and an intimate apartment offer serene retreats. The 12500 m2 estate unfolds into a landscaped park leading to a private lake pier, complemented by a swimming pool and jacuzzi, creating an exceptional setting that blends prestige and privacy. More than a property, this château is a place where history breathes, suspended between water and mountains, inviting the creation of a new chapter, whether as a luxury hotel project or an extraordinary family residence.
