luxury house with reception room for sale Foncine-le-Haut, France

A HOTEL OVERLOOKING THE JURA FORESTS In Bonlieu, Les Alpages overlooks the village and the valley, nestled in the wooded landscapes of the Pays des Lacs. This chalet-style hotel spans approximately 700 m² and is dedicated to one clear purpose: hospitality. The property features eight guest rooms with private bathrooms and balconies, two rooms reserved for private use, and spacious reception areas. At the heart of the property, the large panoramic room opens wide onto the valley and extends onto nearly 150 m² of terraces. A professional kitchen, service areas, and parking for approximately thirty vehicles provide this venue with the resources to deliver a truly exceptional hospitality experience in the Jura. BETWEEN VILLAGE, VALLEY, AND FOREST Perched on the heights of Bonlieu, Les Alpages hugs the hillside, bordering the forest. From the property, the view descends toward the village before taking in the valley and the wooded hills of the Jura. The Hérisson waterfalls are within walking distance, while Lake Bonlieu and the landscapes of the Pays des Lacs lie nearby. Built in 1970, the property spans 700 m², distributed across a basement, ground floor, two upper floors, and a converted attic. Its chalet-style architecture is reflected indoors through the use of wood, exposed beams, a closed-hearth fireplace, and a wood-burning stove. The large panoramic living room forms the heart of the house. Its expansive floor-to-ceiling windows bring the valley into sharp focus and flood the living areas with abundant natural light. The terraces extend this sense of openness. Mornings call for coffee with a view of the mountains; sunny days invite you to enjoy lunch outdoors; and summer evenings stretch out with the forests in the background. A PROPERTY DESIGNED AROUND HOSPITALITY At Les Alpages, every space contributes to the spirit of hospitality. The eight guest rooms each feature a private bathroom and a balcony. Two additional rooms make up the private area, allowing for a natural balance between professional and personal life. The living room with a fireplace brings people together around the fire; the library offers a more intimate retreat; the breakfast room sets the tone for the start of the day; and the large panoramic dining room hosts meals, conversations, and shared moments overlooking the valley. This atmosphere is underpinned by a structured, professional organization. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary facilities for the business, including a dishwashing area, a prep kitchen, and a walk-in cooler. Laundry rooms, a cellar, a wine cellar, and service areas support daily operations. Outside, approximately thirty parking spaces make it easy to accommodate guests. The property is currently operated as a hotel and holds the ?Qualité Tourisme' and ?Échappée jurassienne' certifications. The layout of the premises opens up several possibilities, ranging from continuing hotel operations to operating as a bed-and-breakfast, as well as hosting group stays. Since the local urban development plan (PLU) already permits a change of use, Les Alpages also offers the possibility of conversion into a large family home. The bedrooms, the living room with its cozy fireplace, the panoramic room, and the terraces create a spacious setting for entertaining and spending time together while taking in the Jura landscapes. THE LAND OF LAKES THROUGHOUT THE SEASONS Staying at Les Alpages also means experiencing the Jura at the rhythm of its landscapes. The Hérisson waterfalls are within walking distance. Lake Bonlieu, Lake Ilay, the Pic de l'Aigle, and the Quatre Lacs lookout point make up the nearby horizons. Chalain, Narlay, and Vouglans extend this landscape of water, forests, and hills. Hiking and mountain biking trails wind through the countryside, while swimming, fishing, and water sports enliven the lakes; in winter, the region leads to the cross-country ski trails of the Haut Jura. Arbois, Château-Chalon, and Baume-les-Messieurs reveal another facet of the region, featuring vineyards, charming villages, and cultural heritage. Local shops are just a few minutes away. Lons-le-Saunier is about 35 kilometers from the train station, the A39 highway is about 40 kilometers away, and Geneva Airport is about 1 hour and 30 minutes away. THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE What appeals to me about Les Alpages is the opportunity to combine a profession with a lifestyle choice in one place. Everything is in place to welcome guests, but the true character of this property is revealed when you look out over the valley. I see this as an opportunity for someone who wants to fully commit, bring their own vision to the home, and help others discover the Jura through a style of hospitality that reflects who they are.
