Laurent GUERINEAU Fine Homes

When living in a château also means imagining a place entirely your own. Just a 10-minute walk from the village and approximately one hour from Lyon, Valence and Grenoble, this elegant 19th-century château is set within two hectares of wooded grounds, offering a wonderfully private setting and an exceptional sense of space. From the moment you enter, the character of the property is immediately apparent. Exposed stone, wood panelling, high ceilings and period features reflect its history and create an atmosphere that is both elegant and timeless. Three adjoining reception rooms provide generous spaces for entertaining, hosting large gatherings or simply enjoying everyday life in a truly distinctive setting. Beyond them, the light-filled orangery opens onto the park and offers a particularly beautiful space for welcoming family, guests or visitors. The château offers remarkable accommodation, with five suites including a principal suite, together with seven additional bedrooms. This configuration allows for a wide range of possibilities: a large family residence, a second home, a guest house or a carefully considered hospitality and events project, subject to the relevant permissions and regulations. Vaulted cellars naturally complement the property and could also lend themselves to a project centred around entertaining, gastronomy or the French art of living. The former caretaker’s house, set apart from the main residence, offers further flexibility. It could accommodate guests independently, serve as a guest house or gîte, or provide additional accommodation as part of a larger project, while preserving the privacy of the main château. The two-hectare grounds form a magnificent natural setting for the property. They offer the possibility of creating a truly personal outdoor environment or, subject to the necessary permissions, hosting private receptions, intimate seminars, family celebrations or bespoke stays. The surrounding region further enhances the lifestyle on offer, with lakes, unspoilt landscapes and ski resorts providing opportunities to enjoy nature and the mountains throughout the seasons, while several major cities remain easily accessible. More than a château, this property offers a setting and a story around which to create something truly personal. A singular residence to live in, share, reinvent and perhaps one day pass on — where heritage, nature and the art of living come together.

In the heart of the Pays de Gex, just minutes from Geneva International Airport, Château de Grilly embodies more than two thousand years of history. Built on the site of an ancient Roman military fort dating from 45 BC, the castle and its grounds have been carefully restored since the 1990s. The castle has been partially listed as a Historic Monument since 1987. The castle offers 518 sqm of living space, arranged over two floors and two towers, with generous reception areas and seven bedrooms. It retains valuable architectural features: period fireplaces, coffered ceilings, a dressed-stone staircase, carved surrounds and traces of its defensive past. On the uppermost level, a floor area of approximately 200 sqm beneath a remarkable, carefully restored centuries-old roof structure offers the possibility of creating up to two additional apartments. Architectural plans are available upon request. The castle roof has been completely renovated, particularly with regard to waterproofing and insulation, representing a major heritage asset. The configuration of the two towers also makes it possible to consider converting them into two separate, independent dwellings. On a 2,019 sqm plot with courtyards and garden, an independent 83 sqm caretaker’s house comprising two bedrooms provides additional space that could be used for staff accommodation or a rental project, subject to the necessary works. Another major advantage: an approved building permit allows for the construction of a residential building comprising four high-end apartments on the site of a former Gessian farmhouse. Designed with respect for the heritage setting, the project provides for approximately 705 sqm of declared floor area and twelve parking spaces. Overall, the estate has potential for nine apartments, including the outbuilding, in addition to the castle’s principal living spaces arranged over two floors. The additional conversions envisaged within the castle do not yet have approved authorisations. An architect has nevertheless already studied these possibilities. E&V reference: W-04C8FI The castle estate is not subject to an Energy Performance Certificate (DPE) due to its protection as a Historic Monument. A technical file relating to the buildings is available upon request. Sale price: €5,200,000 Transaction fees of 4% including VAT, payable by the seller.

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 CHATEAU AND ITS REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BOURG-EN-BRESSE EXCLUSIVE. This property is being offered for sale via an interactive auction through Drouot.immo. The starting price is set at euros990,000. The bidding increment is set at euros30,000. The sale will take place on 19 December 2026 at 11.00 am. Participation is subject to prior approval. Information and terms and conditions available on request. In Viriat, just a few minutes from Bourg-en-Bresse, this property is nestled within one of the region's most beautiful wooded parks. Over the centuries, this former 17th-century farmhouse has evolved into a charming château with exceptional spaciousness, now extended by a contemporary orangery that opens wide onto the landscape. With over 700 m² of living space, several double-height living rooms, eight bedrooms, and vast reception areas, the estate offers a lifestyle centered on light, nature, and family gatherings. A swimming pool, pond, tennis court, terraces, and outbuildings enhance this sense of space and openness within more than four acres of landscaped grounds. A REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY The park is one of the property's most distinctive features. Upon entering, the view opens up to centuries-old trees, expansive lawns, and rare species planted over time by a former owner who was a botanist. Giant sequoias, Atlas cedars, remarkable maples, magnolias, and linden trees compose a living landscape that evolves with the seasons. The estate offers a rare sense of depth and tranquility while remaining in close proximity to Bourg-en-Bresse and major thoroughfares. Surrounding the château, the stone terraces, pond, fountain, swimming pool, and tennis court naturally extend the living spaces outward. Here, the park does not merely accompany the residence?it becomes its very soul. SPACIOUS ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT With over 700 m² of living space spread across three levels, the château features particularly generous rooms while maintaining a seamless flow of movement. The living rooms follow one another in a warm atmosphere where light highlights the historic materials: stone, wood paneling, exposed beams, and antique flagstone and hardwood floors. Each era has left its mark with consistency. Several extensions inspired by the architecture of 18th- and 19th-century châteaux were added to the original 17th-century farmhouse before a contemporary orangery created a spectacular opening onto the park. The large reception rooms alternate with more intimate spaces dedicated to reading, relaxation, or family life. Eight bedrooms and several suites provide a discreet and elegant setting to welcome family and guests. A PROPERTY FOR ENTERTAINING, GATHERING, AND PASSING ON The estate strikes a rare balance between grandeur and the simple pleasures of life. The spacious layout allows for large family gatherings, extended stays, or weekend entertaining without ever losing the property's intimacy. The outbuildings?including the former stable converted into a garage and wine cellar?as well as the spaces still available for conversion offer various possibilities for future development, whether for hosting guests or as a vacation home. The proximity to the A40 highway, the Bourg-en-Bresse TGV station, and connections to Lyon or Geneva further enhances this convenience, making it ideal for both a primary and secondary residence. Yet the château retains that precious sense of being in a world of its own?a place deeply imbued with trees, the seasons, and the passage of time. AGENCY'S OPINION What immediately strikes one here is the balance between the château's scale and the expanse of the grounds. Rarely does a property manage to offer so much space while maintaining such a gentle and natural atmosphere. The trees, the light, and the views give the estate a quiet, almost timeless presence, just minutes from the city. BEHIND THE CENTURY-OLD TREES, A PROPERTY OF RARE PROPORTIONS
