Property with garden Besançon (25)
THE TERRACES OF BESANÇON Overlooking the Citadel, these hanging gardens ? awarded the 'Jardin Remarquable' designation in 2023 ? unfold as a succession of terraces painstakingly shaped over the years. Perched on the heights of Besançon, the site strikes a tangible balance between the art of living, hospitality and contemplation. A VIEWING POINT, A GARDEN SHAPED BY TIME From the path, the approach remains discreet. Then, once through the gate, the view opens up onto the Citadel, situated along the axis, like a landmark around which everything is organised. The grounds bear the traces of a gradual transformation. An initial slope has, over the years, become a succession of gardens, terraces and wooded areas designed for entertaining and sharing. Each level serves a specific purpose, revealed as you make your way through. The pathways follow this design. Your steps follow the water, which connects the spaces through a series of ponds and waterfalls. The movement becomes continuous, almost meditative. Carp appear beneath the surface, whilst vegetation frames the pathways. Awarded the 'Remarkable Garden' label in 2023, the whole expresses a harmony between plant composition, topography and function. Vegetable patches, fruit trees and ornamental vines are part of this living dynamic. Each season redefines the contours of the site. A HOME ROOTED IN ITS FUNCTIONS The entrance via the loggia provides a gentle transition. The dining room, at the centre, naturally structures the flow of movement. The west-facing living room is perfect for the end of the day and opens out onto the outdoors. Light filters through, revealing the spaces. The kitchen, organised around granite worktops and built-in appliances, extends the living spaces with fluidity. A ground-floor bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe leads into a utility room. Together, they create a seamless daily life, immediately at home. Upstairs, the bedrooms are clearly arranged around the bathroom. Clean lines follow the flow of light. THE ART OF HOSTING, THE PRIVILEGE OF CONTEMPLATION Each terrace marks a distinct moment in the journey, within a continuity where the Citadel remains ever-present, visible from one level to the next. The reception terrace welcomes guests around a large table, an outdoor bar and a pizza oven. Conversations flow naturally here, with the city in view. The kota gathers people around the central fire. Beneath the wisteria, the shade becomes a refuge, dense and cool, filtering the views and revealing glimpses of the Citadel. The swimming pool is set within a sheltered, enveloping green setting. Sun loungers are positioned within this carefully controlled space, balancing privacy and the landscape. Further on, a relaxation area features an outdoor bed, suspended between sky and foliage. The outbuilding forms part of this gradual evolution. It accommodates a seasonal activity already in place, in natural harmony with the whole. The journey continues up to the higher levels, where the views open out even further. Every step reveals a new perspective on the place. A place where the outdoors fully shapes the way of living. AGENCY'S VIEW A property shaped by time, where the garden forms the very structure of the site. Facing the citadel, the terraces organise the various uses, with each space finding its rightful place. A home where living, entertaining and welcoming guests flow seamlessly into one another.

Property with pool and garden Comberjon (70)
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF VESOUL, A FORMER MILL BETWEEN THE RIVER AND THE COUNTRYSIDE Just a few minutes from Vesoul, Le Puits du Moulin tells a story that began in the 18th century, set in a landscape where water still frames every view. Behind its stone facades, this approximately 440 m² property offers a spacious home, designed as much for family life as for entertaining guests. Seven bedrooms, beautiful reception areas, a veranda overlooking the garden, and an established bed-and-breakfast business are all set within an estate spanning more than 1.5 hectares. An orchard, a vegetable garden, pastures, a swimming pool, and terraces extend the home all the way to the banks of the Durgeon River. AN OLD MILL IN TUNE WITH THE DURGEON You must travel through the countryside to the outskirts of Vesoul to discover the Puits du Moulin. An 18th-century residence nestled in a landscape of water and greenery, it possesses that special aura found in homes whose history was written long before our time. The Durgeon River runs alongside the property. Its flow sets the pace for the estate, complements the gardens, and serves as a reminder of the site's original purpose. Once a mill that was converted into a restaurant in the 1990s, the building began a new chapter in 2011, when its owners undertook to restore it and transform it into a bed-and-breakfast. Today, the stonework, exposed beams, and historic spaces harmonize with more contemporary touches. Successive renovations have accompanied the house over the years: kitchens, bathrooms, woodwork, paint, and, more recently, the pool have been redesigned with care to preserve the spirit of the place. Spanning approximately 440 m², the spaces offer a particularly appealing flexibility of use. Here, the house can continue to welcome guests while also fully reclaiming its role as a family home. A HOME MADE FOR LIVING AND HOSTING The section dedicated to the guest rooms has a life of its own. Upon entering, a reception area with a bar sets a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The first guest room, measuring 21 m², features its own shower room and private bathroom facilities. The dining room, air-conditioned and heated by a Godin stove, naturally extends the time spent around the table. A semi-professional kitchen, a laundry room, and several preparation and storage areas discreetly support daily activities. Upstairs, three bedrooms?each extended by a mezzanine?can each accommodate four guests and feature their own shower rooms with separate restrooms. The existing layout thus accommodates twelve people in four bedrooms and also lends itself to a different interpretation of the spaces, particularly as a vacation rental. The private area fosters a more intimate atmosphere. A staircase of wood and wrought iron leads to the fully equipped Schmidt kitchen, the living-dining room, and the bedrooms. An additional room can serve as an office or bedroom depending on needs. The master suite combines an air-conditioned bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom with a shower and bathtub. Another bedroom also has its own private bathroom. Next is the veranda, about twenty square meters in size, which opens widely onto the garden. Light floods in generously, and the changing seasons become part of the scenery. Three wood-burning stoves supplement the oil-fired heating system, while a reversible air-conditioning system serves several rooms in the house. A HECTARE AND A HALF TO EXTEND YOUR DAYS OUTDOORS Surrounding the house, 15,641 m² create a true estate. The terraces?including two sheltered areas?offer a variety of ways to enjoy the outdoors: having lunch in the shade near the house, heading to the pool in the afternoon, extending an evening around the large brick barbecue, or simply watching the light change across the garden. The pool is an integral part of this setting. Renovated in 2024, it features a manually operated dome. Further on, the property transitions into an orchard, vegetable garden, pasture, and wooded garden. A greenhouse, a woodshed, a well, a pond, and a rainwater collection system complement this outdoor lifestyle. There is also room for a few horses in the pastures. The nearby bike path offers another way to explore the surrounding countryside. Vesoul and its amenities are just five minutes away, while the train station provides access to major rail lines. This proximity gives the mill a unique balance: the countryside remains ever-present, yet the town is immediately accessible. The bed-and-breakfast, open year-round and now complemented by a table d'hôtes, already offers a glimpse into one of the many possible ways to enjoy the property. Its spacious layout suggests other possibilities: a large multigenerational home, a country residence, a place to gather family and friends, or a project combining living space with hospitality. THE ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE ?I love Le Puits du Moulin for its balance of character, nature, and potential. It's easy to imagine it as either a l

House with garden Montrapon-Montboucons - Besançon (25)
FAMILY HOME WITH POOL IN BESANÇON Set in the elevated Montboucons neighborhood of Besançon, this family home is defined by its connection to the outdoors. Renovated in 2021, it features five bedrooms and a generous living space designed around the garden. Large glass doors open onto a cumaru wood terrace, the pool, and tree-filled grounds with a south-southeast exposure. Through the foliage, Besançon comes into view below. Inside and out feel naturally connected here, making the garden as much a part of everyday life as the rooms themselves. A LIVING SPACE DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY LIFE The ground floor is open and cohesive, with polished concrete flooring running throughout and setting off the stone wood-burning stove and understated kitchen. The kitchen island sits at the heart of the space. It is where mornings begin over coffee and where everyone naturally gathers as dinner is prepared at the end of the day. Beyond it, expansive glass doors fill the room with natural light and keep the garden, terrace, and pool constantly in sight. Once the doors are opened in summer, indoor and outdoor living become one. This level also includes a bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms, a shower room, and a walk-in closet create a more private floor. A mezzanine adds a flexible space that can easily become a home office, reading area, or play space as the family's needs change. OUTDOOR LIVING, FROM TERRACE TO POOL Step outside and the cumaru terrace immediately extends the living space into the garden. Its warm brown tones soften the exterior and provide a natural setting around the pool. This is where the house comes into its own in warmer weather. Meals move outdoors and linger, children go back and forth between the garden and the pool, and evenings stretch into the last light of the day. The tree-filled grounds follow the gentle slope of Montboucons, creating changing sightlines through the property. Besançon appears between the trees, visible below without ever feeling close. Whether viewed from the terrace or from the pool, the city remains a distant presence beyond the foliage. The result is a garden that feels like another living space, changing character throughout the day and from season to season. A buried 10,000-liter rainwater collection tank helps with its upkeep. MONTBOUCONS: BESANÇON WITH A SENSE OF SPACE The setting offers an appealing balance: all the convenience of living in Besançon, combined with the openness of its higher ground. Schools, shops, and healthcare facilities are nearby, with Clinique Saint-Vincent, CHU Jean-Minjoz, and Polyclinique de Franche-Comté all just a few minutes away. Practical spaces are equally well considered. The basement includes a two-car garage, laundry room, storage, and a finished wine cellar, while a carport provides additional parking outside. Radiant floor heating serves the ground floor, and the upper level is equipped with reversible air conditioning. Yet these features are not what ultimately defines the home. Its character comes from the way the spaces flow, the abundance of natural light, and a garden that is always part of the view. THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE ?What stands out to me is the balance this home offers. Besançon is right there when you need it, yet once you're home, there's a real sense of space and separation from the city. The living area flows naturally onto the terrace, pool, and garden, with views appearing through the trees and changing throughout the day. I can easily see a family making this home their own, especially because the spaces are flexible enough to adapt as their needs evolve over the years.' Sirine El Beggar

Contemporary house with garden and terrace Roppe (90)
ENOVATED MANSION IN ROPPE Just a few minutes from Belfort, this 18th-century mansion spans nearly 256 m² in a warm atmosphere defined by spacious rooms, elegant high ceilings, and a subtle interplay between historic features and contemporary renovation. Behind its restored façade, the living areas flow seamlessly around a welcoming kitchen, a living room with preserved wood paneling, and a second living space designed as a place for reading and socializing. Upstairs, the bedrooms extend this sense of a family home, featuring antique hardwood floors, natural light streaming through, and views of the tree-lined garden. The approximately 2,800 m² lot, dotted with mature trees and a barn waiting to be reimagined, offers a sought-after living environment for those who wish to combine urban proximity, quick access to Switzerland, and sustainable residential quality. BETWEEN HERITAGE AND CONTEMPORARY COMFORT Built around 1730, the property reveals an architectural style full of character from the moment you enter. The rhythm of the moldings, the wood paneling, the original floors, and the wooden staircase with intricate ironwork create a home that feels deeply lived-in, designed for entertaining as much as for daily living. On the ground floor, the rooms flow seamlessly into one another. The open kitchen naturally connects with the dining room, while the fireplace insert provides warmth during cooler seasons. The double living room extends the living space into a more intimate atmosphere, featuring a built-in library, a billiards area, and natural light streaming through. Renovations undertaken in recent years have enhanced energy efficiency and technical comfort, notably with a new heat pump, solar panels, and a major upgrade of the ground floor's facilities. FAMILY SPACES OPENING ONTO THE GARDEN The upper floor now features three bedrooms, including a suite with an en-suite bathroom, as well as a separate walk-in closet. A second suite remains to be completed, hinting at additional layout potential for a family wishing to adapt the space to their own lifestyle. The garden enhances this sense of space with mature, structuring vegetation. The mature trees, terraces, natural pond (to be restored), and outbuildings create several outdoor areas ideal for family use as well as summer gatherings. The barn and annexes also offer ample room for creativity, whether envisioning a workshop, storage space, garage, or other projects. A CONNECTED LIFESTYLE BETWEEN BELFORT, SWITZERLAND, AND ALSACE The property enjoys a particularly sought-after location for cross-border workers and families seeking a balance between mobility and a residential setting. Belfort is just a few minutes away, the A36 highway is quickly accessible, and the Meroux-Moval TGV station puts Paris or Switzerland within easy reach. Surrounding the house, the region offers a daily life enriched by heritage, nature, and outdoor activities: the Ballon d'Alsace, bike paths, lakes, and the Vosges mountains naturally extend the property's potential uses. Here, the spirit of an old mansion meets a more contemporary lifestyle, open to travel, family traditions, and the comfort of a large home lived in year-round. AGENCY'S OPINION This stately home captivates with the coherence of its spaces, the quality of its location, and the balance it strikes between historic architecture and modern renovation. A property designed for a lasting family life, just outside Belfort and near major routes to Switzerland and Alsace.

Property with pool and garden Besançon (25)
MANOR HOUSE IN A WOODED PARK IN BESANÇON Just a few minutes from the centre of Besançon, Le Clos Saint-Paul evokes a unique atmosphere: that of a grand residence set back within its landscape, whilst remaining closely linked to the city. Built in 1771, this stately home covers approximately 590 m² within a 1.5-hectare enclosed park, dotted with century-old trees and opening out onto the forest. Behind its stone façades, the spacious rooms offer comfort and privacy. Light floods into the reception rooms, whilst parquet flooring, marble, a bespoke bookcase and large windows preserve the elegance of a historic architectural style that has been reinterpreted over time. A heated swimming pool, outbuildings and a detached house round off the possibilities offered by this estate with its many potential uses. A HISTORIC RESIDENCE BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE FOREST You must take the Chemin du Fort Benoît and gradually leave the urban rhythm behind to truly appreciate Le Clos Saint-Paul. Here, Besançon remains close by, whilst the landscape is already taking on a different character. Walls, hedges and tall trees outline the boundaries of a 1.5-hectare estate, bordering the forest. Amidst this lush greenery, the house comes into view. Built in 1771 from stone, then extensively restructured in 1961, it retains that distinctive presence characteristic of old houses whose proportions have stood the test of time. Its exposed stone façades, its openings and certain windows with an almost British feel give it the silhouette of a manor house, sitting naturally within its grounds. The flat, fully enclosed plot complements the house in every respect. Mornings invite you to take a stroll beneath the trees; later in the day, the south-facing stone terrace becomes an extension of the living areas. Just a few steps away, the 10-by-5-metre heated outdoor swimming pool creates another, more summery setting, opening out onto the garden. HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE BATHE IN LIGHT Inside, the 590 m² of living space is spread over two levels. The sense of space is immediately apparent: high ceilings, generous views and abundant light give the rooms a spaciousness particularly suited to family life and entertaining. The living room, measuring approximately 50 m², enjoys a south-west facing aspect. The materials tell the story of the house's different eras: solid or contemporary parquet flooring, marble, stretched fabrics and a bespoke bookcase combine to create an atmosphere where the old dialogues with more recent additions. The Poggenpohl kitchen has a contemporary design. Marble worktops, a large central island and a dining area make it a living space in its own right, extended by a utility room. The property currently comprises five bedrooms, with the potential to create up to seven, including a spacious suite with an en-suite bathroom. This layout offers great flexibility: a family home spanning several generations, a place to welcome loved ones for the long term, or a residence designed to combine private life with entertaining. A PROPERTY WITH MANY POSSIBILITIES Le Clos Saint-Paul also stands out for what surrounds the main house. A detached house of approximately 110 m², arranged as a duplex within an outbuilding, provides a space for family, friends or guests to stay in their own quarters. A barn of approximately 240 m² and attic spaces of approximately 250 m², partially converted, further expand the possibilities. The estate also offers, as an option, equestrian facilities, with existing structures suitable for keeping horses; a stud farm situated on the same property could be considered as a further addition. This versatility gives the place a unique depth. One can envisage a large family home where everyone has their own space, a heritage property destined to be passed down through the generations, but also a hospitality venture where the main building and outbuildings would take on a new function. The town remains within easy reach. Shops are just a few minutes' walk away, Besançon-Viotte station is about ten minutes' drive away, and the A36 motorway towards Marchaux is approximately fifteen minutes' drive away. Le Clos Saint-Paul thus strikes a rare balance between two rhythms: that of a park, with its trees and the neighbouring forest; and that of a town which one encounters almost as soon as one passes through the gate. THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE ?What struck me first was the scale of the estate and the way the house stands at the heart of its grounds. Once inside, it is the spaciousness and the light that take centre stage. The large windows, with their subtle British flair, give the house the air of a manor house and play a key part in its character. There is a real sense of serenity here. It's easy to imagine morning walks beneath the trees, followed by a return to this spacious home. In Besançon, I know of few places that combine such an expansive estate, such distinctive architecture and such close proximity to the city. I

The starting price is set at euros220,000. The reserve price is set at euros275,000. The bidding increment is set at euros10,000. The auction will take place on October 18 at 11:00 a.m. Participation is subject to prior approval. Information and terms available upon request. In the village of Les Thons, this former convent, founded in 1452, stands proudly in the heart of the rolling Vosges countryside. The property offered for sale occupies the central portion of this distinctive complex. Behind its façade, designated a Historic Monument, the spaces unfold amidst ancient stonework, vast vaults, soaring ceilings, carved staircases, and a well-preserved cloister. Imbued with a rustic Renaissance atmosphere, the site now serves as a distinctive residence designed to welcome guests, preserve its heritage, and envision new uses. THE CENTRAL BUILDING OF A FRANCISCAN COMPLEX Set apart from major thoroughfares, the Couvent des Cordeliers in Les Thons stands out in the landscape as a monument to history. Founded in the 15th century at the request of Guillaume de Saint-Loup and Jeanne de Choiseul and designated a Historic Monument in 1945, it is now the best-preserved Franciscan complex in northeastern France. The eye is first drawn to the stone facades, the regularity of the ancient openings, and the simple lines of the cloister and its sacred fountain. Then come the details: a door weathered by time, the omnipresence of the vaults, a monumental fireplace, the depth of the walls, the antique woodwork and beams, and the ?cathedral' staircase. Each space seems to have retained the rhythm of the centuries. From the tree-lined garden and the orchard, views open up onto the village's historic center and the surrounding countryside. Further on, the paths lead to the Vosges forests, the spa towns of Vittel and Contrexéville, and the Renaissance gardens of Châtillon-sur-Saône. SPACES FILLED WITH LIGHT AND NATURAL MATERIALS The interior spans nearly 400 m² in a warm and deeply authentic design. The main living area, spanning nearly 80 m², harmonizes with the high ceilings, exposed beams, and open-plan layout featuring a mezzanine. Historic hardwood floors, terracotta tiles, moldings, restored doors, and various architectural details come together to create a vibrant space bathed in light. Some rooms still feature decorative paintings and art collections that extend the spirit of the place. The fully equipped professional kitchen is designed to accommodate both a generous daily lifestyle and larger gatherings. The vaulted cellars, the interior patio, and the adjoining spaces reinforce this sense of a lived-in and adaptable whole. Sold furnished and equipped, the property also includes several antique works of art and paintings that contribute to its unique character. A PROPERTY TO IMAGINE: A BLEND OF HERITAGE AND INSPIRING PROJECTS The central section of the convent spans over 3,300 m² of land, featuring an orchard, a natural spring, a pond, and open views. At the rear, a vast 2,360 m² plot offers various possibilities for future development while respecting the site's character. The site has already served as a residence and hosted events, receptions, and dining experiences. Its layout allows for new uses centered on hospitality, vacations, heritage preservation, or a unique second home. Located between Vittel, Épinal, and Langres, this property embodies a rare quality: that of a historic site still very much alive, capable of accommodating ambitious projects without ever losing its original spirit. THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE ?What you feel here goes beyond architecture alone. The Couvent des Cordeliers des Thons possesses that quiet depth unique to carefully preserved historic sites. A property shaped by time, designed for those seeking not only a home but also a story to carry forward.' Julie Rowlett-Ballon

The spaces reject any sense of rigidity, favoring fluid circulation and multiple perspectives, creating a rare sense of freedom in a residence of this scale. Slavic influences are subtly revealed in the choice of materials and details.

The wellness area, directly accessible from inside, extends this pursuit of quality of life in a cozy and soothing atmosphere. THE PARK AS A NATURAL EXTENSION OF THE HOME The park, spanning over four thousand square meters, is one of the defining features of this property. Tree-lined and carefully landscaped, it was designed as a true place for strolling, punctuated by paved paths that invite you to take a walk. The Jura stone retaining walls, the careful selection of plant species, and the thoughtful arrangement of vegetation create a structured yet living landscape, where each season offers its own unique perspective on the site. The eye naturally wanders, discovering in turn open vistas and more intimate, secluded areas. The generously sized terrace serves as a reception area in its own right. It flanks the outdoor pool and opens onto the surrounding hills, offering a panoramic view of the alpine landscape.

This setting gives the area a character that is both rooted and open, conducive to a seamless daily life. The surrounding area invites a multitude of experiences, from outdoor activities to lakes, mountains, and golf courses. Lake Geneva, the Jura Mountains, and forest trails offer a varied playground, while the proximity to Geneva brings an international and cultural dimension. This environment is integral to the home's identity, enhancing its character and practical value. It is a living space designed for those who wish to combine nature, comfort, and a connection to the world. AGENCY REVIEW This charming villa in the Pays de Gex captivates with its distinct character and the coherence of its architectural design.

House with garden Belmont (39)
A FAMILY HOME ON THE EDGE OF THE CHAUX FOREST On the edge of the Chaux Forest, within the triangle formed by Dole, Arbois, and Arc-et-Senans, Le Clos Sylvestre is a secluded retreat where nature shapes every view. Reimagined with a contemporary wood-frame extension, this family home is set within a 3,737 m² wooded park dotted with majestic trees, terraces opening onto the landscape, and a heated pool. A property designed to combine everyday comfort, energy efficiency, and a relaxed lifestyle in the heart of the Jura. THE LANDSCAPE AS THE PRIMARY SETTING Behind its gate, a long paved path leads to a reimagined silhouette. The original 1967 house now dialogues with recently built timber-frame extensions, offering a contemporary architectural style oriented toward light and the garden. The living spaces are organized around large windows that naturally extend the view toward the trees and clearings of the park. The living room enjoys a particularly pleasant west-facing orientation when the light filters through the foliage. The fully equipped kitchen contributes to this interior fluidity, where each space maintains a direct connection with the outdoors. On the ground floor, the bedrooms and bathrooms enhance everyday comfort, while a mezzanine adds an extra dimension to the space. A GARDEN EXTENDING INTO THE FOREST Here, the property seems to naturally extend into the nearby forest. Centuries-old trees mark the seasons, filter the light, and provide a constant presence of greenery that accompanies every moment of the day. Around the heated pool, the terraces become living spaces in their own right. Mornings linger to the east in soft light, while evenings naturally find their place on the west terrace opening onto the park. The immediate proximity of the Chaux Forest invites you to take walks, bike rides, or long escapes into one of France's largest deciduous forests. A CONTEMPORARY VISION OF LIVING Le Clos Sylvestre also captivates with the coherence of its transformation. High-performance insulation, a heat pump, solar panels, dual-flow ventilation, and home automation contribute to a contemporary approach to comfort?discreet in its execution yet highly effective in daily life. The outbuildings and garages, already connected to the necessary utilities, offer exciting possibilities for expansion to accommodate family and friends or to develop a complementary project. Just fifteen minutes from Dole, its TGV station, and its airport, the property enjoys a rare balance between connectivity and immersion in nature. Arbois, the Jura wine-growing landscapes, and the Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans further enrich the living environment of this unique address. THE AGENCY'S OPINION Le Clos Sylvestre embodies a way of living where contemporary architecture harmonizes with a remarkable forest setting. A property that offers both the potential for a lasting family home and a weekend retreat in the heart of one of the Jura's most inspiring regions.

FAMILY HOME WITH GARDEN AND VIEWS IN GEX On the heights of Gex, facing the Jura mountains and the distant peaks of the Alps, this family home with more than seven bedrooms is set in a leafy residential area. Bathed in light and opening onto an easy-to-maintain landscaped garden, it combines authentic materials, contemporary comfort and the undeniable charm of an English cottage, just a few minutes from Geneva. Ready to move into, with no work required, it is simply waiting for its new occupants. AN ENGLISH COTTAGE-STYLE HOUSE, BRIGHT AND OPENING ONTO THE GARDEN The entrance hall, deliberately intimate and functional, naturally distributes the living spaces and preserves the sense of discovery. Very quickly, the reception room opens widely onto the garden: a halo of light, a large convivial table, a patinated dresser... The atmosphere is warm and immediately welcoming. The double-aspect living room, with its large windows, enjoys omnipresent light. The wood-burning stove structures the space and creates a convivial focal point in the heart of the house. Natural stone floors, wood panelling, soft tones and authentic materials create an elegant and warm atmosphere, in a confident English cottage style. The kitchen, inspired by British country houses, is organised around a range cooker and a custom-made oak island. The dark stone worktops contrast delicately with the light-coloured furniture and patinated shelves. IDEAL FOR FAMILY LIFE The house has more than seven bedrooms, confirming its status as a true family home. The spaces are naturally organised to accommodate the passing years, growing children and visiting friends. From the bedrooms, the view opens onto the hills and rooftops of the village, reminding each floor of its roots in the landscape. Under the exposed beams, the master suite occupies a vast, light-filled space. The beams and high ceilings create a peaceful refuge, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, like a floor of its own. A bedroom with a separate entrance offers welcome independence, ideal for an au pair or to accompany the different stages of family life. The additional space can be used for today's and tomorrow's needs: a games room, a workspace, a more intimate lounge. Nothing is set in stone; everything evolves with those who live there. A LANDSCAPED GARDEN FACING THE MOUNTAINS Overlooking the surrounding hills, the garden opens up naturally. The gentle slope guides the eye, while mature trees frame the view and create a soothing green presence. The whole has been intelligently designed: a structured, harmonious landscape that remains easy to maintain throughout the seasons. The flowerbeds punctuate the spaces without constraining them, the lawn invites play, and the treehouse extends the family home spirit. On sunny days, the south- and west-facing terraces become real extra rooms. Here you can have lunch in the light shade, extend your evenings facing the mountains, and watch the light change. AGENCY'S OPINION: In Gex, this house reveals its charm immediately. Its English cottage style, interpreted with precision, creates a warm and elegant atmosphere where light accompanies every space. The rooms are spacious, naturally balanced, and invite harmonious family life. With more than seven bedrooms, one of which has a separate entrance ideal for an au pair, the layout adapts flexibly to contemporary lifestyles. Everyone finds their place, without ever losing the feeling of unity. In a commanding position, opening onto an easy-to-maintain landscaped garden and the surrounding hills, the house offers a peaceful living environment, combining residential comfort and natural breathing space. Ready to move into and carefully maintained, it simply awaits its new occupants to continue its story.

House with garden and terrace Anrosey (52)
A MANOR HOUSE IN HAUTE-MARNE Far from the hustle and bustle of daily life, certain estates seem to have always belonged there. La Perle d'Anrosey is part of this subtle interplay between architecture and landscape. Behind its 18th-century facades, stone stands alongside towering trees, springs feed the pond, and the outbuildings extend the main house. More than just a property, this charming estate is a place of hospitality where space, time, and nature come together in a balance that has become truly precious. Even today, this story continues through a bed-and-breakfast that welcomes travelers in a setting that has remained true to its identity. A MANOR HOUSE DESIGNED FOR HOSPITALITY The stone facades emerge from behind the foliage, bathed in light that reveals every contour, every material, and every detail of this well-preserved architecture. Here, the landscape does not merely serve as a backdrop to the house; it is an extension of it. Built in the 18th century, this mansion offers nearly 390 m² of living space. The living areas are distributed between the ground floor and the first floor, while a spacious basement and attic harmoniously complete the ensemble. The antique hardwood floors complement the stone flooring, the wood paneling accentuates the high ceilings, and the fireplaces serve as a reminder that this home was always designed for entertaining. The reception areas foster a warm atmosphere where meals linger and gatherings flow naturally. Set slightly apart, the seven bedrooms offer comfort ideal for extended stays, with several featuring their own private bathrooms. Today, these spaces bring to life a well-regarded bed-and-breakfast operation, welcoming guests who appreciate the charm of historic architecture and the expansive landscapes of southern Haute-Marne. This spirit of hospitality seems to flow naturally here, driven as much by the spaciousness of the rooms as by the soul of the place. The generously sized kitchen complements this tradition of sharing, where every stay revolves around large, convivial meals and simple, unhurried moments. The property has retained its authenticity while incorporating the necessary updates for contemporary living, making it suitable for continuing the current business or for envisioning a new life project. A CHARACTERFUL ESTATE IN HAUTE-MARNE Surrounding the house, more than two hectares form a vibrant landscape. Centuries-old trees frame the horizon, the orchard lines the park's paths, and the lawns invite the Haut-Marne countryside right into the estate. The pond, fed by the property's natural springs, adds a subtle touch of movement to this setting, where water has long held a special place. Two wells still in use also bear witness to this special relationship between the house and its surroundings. The outbuildings naturally expand the possibilities of the site. The vast barn, measuring approximately 300 m², part of which already serves as a reception hall, supports the estate's hospitality activities today while hinting at other potential uses. The dovecote, converted into a summer bedroom, the workshop, the wine cellar, and the attic further enrich this particularly cohesive architectural heritage. Each building interacts with the others, like chapters of a single story where heritage, nature, and hospitality intertwine effortlessly. A TRADITION OF HOSPITALITY TO CARRY ON La Perle d'Anrosey possesses that unique quality that allows everyone to freely envision their own future here. Future owners may choose to continue the well-established bed-and-breakfast business and carry on this tradition of hospitality, which is now an integral part of the estate's identity. They could just as easily envision it as a spacious family home, a retreat, or a residence dedicated to reunions and large gatherings around the table. Located near the Forêts National Park, hiking trails, charming villages, and the unspoiled landscapes of southern Haute-Marne, the property is set in a region where natural heritage intertwines with history. Its proximity to Langres, as well as easy access to Paris and Switzerland, further enhance the appeal of this exclusive location. Here, heritage isn't just something to be admired?it's something to be lived. As the seasons come and go, travelers find a respite here, families build memories, and the estate has continued its story with the same natural ease for several centuries. THE AGENCY'S OPINION Some estates captivate with their grandeur; others with their surroundings. La Perle d'Anrosey combines these two aspects with rare precision.

Property with pool and garden Toucy (89)
A MANSION IN PUISAYE In Puisaye, homes that have been passed down through generations possess a unique identity. The Maison des Pimolles is one such home: its architecture evokes the region's past and history. Behind its 19th-century façade, nearly 380 m² of living space opens onto a one-hectare wooded park, complete with an outbuilding of approximately 100 m², a swimming pool seamlessly integrated into the garden, and a pétanque court. Just before the gate, the freely accessible municipal tennis court already offers a glimpse of the lifestyle this home has to offer. A place where one can easily imagine large summer gatherings around the table, family reunions, and the rhythm of the seasons that characterizes the Burgundian countryside. A HOME THAT BELONGS TO THE LANDSCAPE As you approach Mézilles, the road leaves the main thoroughfares to wind through the gentle hills of the Puisaye region. Here, hedgerows line the paths, tall trees rise like cathedrals above the roads, and the homes seem to have long since found their rightful place. La Maison des Pimolles comes into view around a bend in the road, set back from Mézilles' main street. Its bourgeois architecture evokes the elegance of 19th-century Burgundian mansions. Its proportions are balanced; its windows and glass doors generously invite in light; and the whole retains a simplicity that transcends the ages without ever losing its character. The renovation carried out in 2016 delicately complements this history. The original materials remain at the heart of the story: the subtle blend of hardwood floors and terracotta tiles, the exposed beams, the open fireplaces, and the spacious rooms give it an atmosphere that is as warm as it is airy. The living room becomes the heart of the home. Conversations flow freely here before the large windows facing the garden, while the kitchen, with its contemporary design, naturally complements everyday life. A HOME DESIGNED TO WELCOME The property offers a way of living where everyone finds their place: the entryway is flanked by a small living room and the dining room, both facing the garden, while a hallway leads to the kitchen, which opens onto a spacious living room?warmed by a fireplace?adjacent to the billiards room. The floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the terrace and the pool below. The eight bedrooms (including two suites with their own bathrooms), spread across the top two floors and accessed via bright hallways, provide ample space to welcome family or friends in equal comfort. To the west of the house, an outbuilding ready for renovation expands this capacity with multiple possibilities: independent accommodations for loved ones, a guesthouse, or a conversion project where hospitality would find a natural setting here. The approximately one-hectare grounds blend seamlessly with the house. Century-old trees frame the views, and lawns adorned with rosebeds lead to the house or to the pool via the pétanque court. It is a garden where one can imagine reading in the shade of the oaks, playing, hosting gatherings on summer evenings, or simply strolling. THE SPIRIT OF LA PUISAYE Living at La Maison des Pimolles means discovering a unique region: a lesser-known corner of Burgundy where villages live in harmony with the seasons, and where Toucy offers shops, a remarkable market, and amenities just minutes away. A home where several generations come together, a refuge between town and countryside, a place where entertaining comes naturally. It could be transformed into a bed-and-breakfast or vacation rentals, building on its history and capacity to welcome guests. Some homes charm with their size. Others leave a lasting impression through the atmosphere they exude. Stepping inside this home will convince you once and for all of its potential. THE AGENCY'S OPINION We love homes that are rooted in their local character as much as in their architecture. La Maison des Pimolles possesses this precious quality. It is deeply embedded in the Puisaye region?its light, its landscapes, and its rhythm. The spacious rooms, the grounds, the outbuilding, and the recent renovation come together to form a harmonious whole, where one can easily imagine family life, a country home passed down through generations, or a welcoming retreat. Meta Description La Maison des Pimolles offers nearly 380 m² in the heart of a one-hectare wooded park, complete with an outbuilding and a swimming pool. A 19th-century family home where heritage harmonizes with the art of living in the Puisaye region.

Castle Boyer (71)
A RESTORED ESTATE WITH GUEST ROOMS IN SOUTHERN BURGUNDY Less than 3 minutes from Tournus, the Château de Pymont has been elegantly reborn following a complete restoration carried out between 2020 and 2022. Rebuilt in the 17th century on the foundations of a medieval residence and later expanded in the 19th century, this estate offers nearly 700 m² of living space in the heart of a park spanning more than four hectares, crisscrossed by two streams. Nine bedrooms and suites, numerous outbuildings, and an already well-established bed-and-breakfast operation now come together to create a place where heritage, nature, and hospitality blend seamlessly. A HERITAGE RENAISSANCE DRIVEN BY PASSION Above all, the Château de Pymont tells a story of rebirth. Behind its facades?rebuilt in the 17th century on the ruins of an ancient medieval residence and later extended with an elegant neo-Gothic wing in the 19th century?lies a recent history that is equally remarkable. When the current owners first stepped through its doors in 2019, the estate bore deep signs of the passage of time. Thus began a restoration project of rare scope. The restoration carried out between 2020 and 2022 has now resulted in an estate whose essential elements have been restored, offering a level of comfort rarely found in heritage properties of this scale. The antique hardwood floors, wood paneling, ornate ceilings, stone staircases, and spacious rooms blend naturally with efficient heating, meticulous insulation, and discreetly integrated modern amenities. The château has thus returned to its original purpose: that of a living home, open to the next generation, where its heritage continues to write its story without ever becoming stagnant. NATURE AND TRAVEL CREATE A UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE The park, spanning more than four hectares, extends this sense of harmony. The Natouze River feeds a central pond, around which paths, century-old trees, and clearings are arranged, inviting visitors to take a stroll. As the seasons change, light filters through the foliage, reflects off the water, and guides the eye toward the magnificently restored dovecote. Stone bridges and outbuildings dot this bucolic landscape. Here, nature plays a central role in the estate's identity. Inside, this character continues with the same consistency. The living rooms, libraries, and nine guest rooms and suites offer a unique atmosphere where antiques, works of art, and objects brought back from numerous travels tell a personal story. Asian furniture, antique doors, repurposed architectural elements, and curiosities from afar come together to create a cultured and warm environment. More than just decoration, it is a true collection of mementos that accompanies each space and gives the château a rare identity. This atmosphere has naturally charmed the travelers welcomed since 2022 as part of a bed-and-breakfast operation that is now well-established. It also offers a future owner the opportunity to immediately take over an established business while enjoying a fully restored estate, thereby avoiding the need for additional construction work. AN ESTATE WITH MANY POSSIBILITIES Today, the Château de Pymont combines the charm of a historic residence with the freedom of an estate offering a wealth of possibilities. The numerous outbuildings, vaulted cellar, workshops, convertible attics, and spacious annexes offer varied and harmonious potential for development without disrupting the site's balance. Whether as a family residence, a reception house, a hospitality estate, or a continuation of the existing tourism business, every project finds a ready-to-use setting here. Its location further enhances this uniqueness. Located in close proximity to highway access points and the Mâconnais TGV station, and just a few hours from Geneva, Paris, or London, the estate combines rare heritage with European accessibility. The landscapes of Southern Burgundy, the region's rich culinary traditions, the vineyards, charming villages, and cultural itineraries naturally enhance the experience of the place. More than just a property, Château de Pymont offers the opportunity to continue the thread of a history already deeply rooted in the land. It appeals to buyers seeking a living heritage?immediately habitable?that balances quality of life, accessibility, and the potential to host guests. THE AGENCY'S OPINION We are deeply moved by this residence, which tells a story that goes far beyond its architecture. Château de Pymont is one of those places whose value lies as much in its history as in the emotion it evokes. Its exemplary restoration, the atmosphere created by its owners, the quality of its grounds, and its already well-established bed-and-breakfast business come together to form a rare ensemble, designed for those seeking a living heritage?ready to be lived in, passed down, and shared.

Castle Bourg-en-Bresse (01)
A CHATEAU AND ITS REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BOURG-EN-BRESSE 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
