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 nearby market town, only 8 km from the estate, provides all daily conveniences. ⸻ A Renaissance Jewel in a Natural Setting The château, protected by its moats and accessed through an entrance châtelet flanked by two round towers, is reached via a majestic 300-meter avenue lined with plane trees. Beyond the gate, three successive courtyards unfold—an avant-cour, a cour d’honneur, and a lower courtyard—framed by beautiful period outbuildings. To the south lie the formal gardens and a fish pond. At the far end of the cour d’honneur, aligned with the châtelet, stands the main residential building. Originally constructed during the 15th and 16th centuries in the opulent style of the French Renaissance, it was later expanded during the 17th and 18th centuries with a principal wing and an L-shaped extension, tastefully refurbished around 1850. The result is a harmonious blend of Renaissance charm and refined domestic comfort—a rare balance between historical authenticity and modern elegance. ⸻ The Interiors The ground floor opens onto a grand 30 m² entrance hall located between the main wing and its return. To the left extends a magnificent suite of reception rooms: a dining room (49 m²), a grand salon (58 m²), a Renaissance drawing room (57 m²), a smaller sitting room (25 m²) fitted into the former guard room, a library (14 m²), a pantry (5 m²), and a cloakroom with WC (10 m²).

Attics extend over the entire building. The L-shaped wing includes additional living space over three levels: a vast 150 m² games room, a home cinema with 22 seats and adjoining kitchen, a large office, seven bedrooms, six shower rooms, and seven WCs. The reception rooms are beautifully appointed with oak parquet, terracotta tiles, or stone flagstones, enhanced by wood paneling, decorative trumeaux, marble or stone fireplaces, and painted beamed ceilings. The generous volumes—reaching up to 3.7 meters in height—create an atmosphere of both grandeur and warmth. ⸻ Historic Outbuildings and Dependencies Over the centuries, the château has remained a self-sufficient estate, and it still retains its complete range of service buildings, arranged harmoniously within the moat’s enclosure. A. The Entrance Châtelet (16th century) A masterpiece of defensive architecture, it features two pepperpot towers and two gateways—a carriage entrance and a pedestrian door once fitted with a portcullis and drawbridge. Above the main gate, a statue of a goddess bears the Latin motto “Vincit Omnia Pallas” (“Pallas conquers all”), and the crest above displays a cross pattée in silver on a sable field. B.

The estate covers 71 hectares (176 acres) of beautifully arranged land, comprising: – 47 hectares of meadows and pastures, – 12 hectares of woodland (oak, pine, and poplar), – and a 0.9-hectare pond. To the north, the property is bordered for nearly one kilometer by a picturesque river, while several paths radiate from the château through the surrounding parkland. ⸻ Historical Protection and Tax Benefits As a result, the property qualifies for the highly advantageous French Monuments Historiques tax regime, offering significant fiscal benefits to owners engaged in preservation and restoration—combining heritage stewardship with intelligent investment. ⸻ In Summary This château stands among the grandest and most distinguished in Haut-Anjou.

Since the 12th century, this castle has stood guard on its hillside spur, nestled between two hamlets, just minutes from Cluny Abbey. Few properties can boast such a rare continuity. Built to monitor the former disputed border between the Duchy of Burgundy and the Kingdom of France, dismantled and then rebuilt from 1435 onwards by Guillaume de l'Aubespin and his wife Claudine de Vaux, it was embellished during the Renaissance by the Rabutin and then Champier families and has remained almost uninterrupted within the same family since 1794. Few residences offer such historical continuity. This property is not merely a stone; it is a living history book. A remarkable architectural example, the castle forms an irregular quadrilateral around a central courtyard (approximately 2,400 sqm, 237 m outer perimeter), and embodies several centuries of military and residential architecture. Entry to the courtyard is through a former carriage gate flanked by two round towers pierced with gun ports. Beyond this are curtain walls topped with a parapet walk and equipped with loopholes. An exceptional vaulted cellar with ribbed vaults (three naves on round piers), inspired by a design by Leonardo da Vinci, is said to have once served as a courtroom. A square keep, crowned with machicolations and defended by a bretèche, reveals corbelled latrines. A lord's residence, whose doorway is adorned with a coat of arms cartouche dated 1570, features heraldic fireplaces. Upstairs, painted ceiling decorations from the 16th and 17th centuries can still be found. The estate comprises several hundred square meters: around the former manor house, approximately 550 square meters, is a separate gîte of over 180 square meters with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms (ideal for tourist or family accommodation), and several hundred square meters of outbuildings (barns, former stables, etc.). The castle's facades and roofs have been listed on the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments since 1967, a status which, under certain conditions, entitles the owner to significant tax advantages (deduction of restoration costs, possible exemption from inheritance and gift taxes). From the terraces and windows of the manor house, the view encompasses the hills of the Clunisois region. The silence is broken only by the changing seasons, offering an exceptional setting 5 km from all amenities, approximately 15 minutes from Cluny and its abbey, 35 km from the Mâcon-Loché TGV station, 1 hour 15 minutes from Lyon and 2 hours from Geneva.
