    House with garden Chassagne-Saint-Denis (25)

    RENOVATED OLD FARMHOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF ORNANS In the heart of the Ornans region, this old farmhouse dating from 1734 showcases a renovation that respects its original character. Behind its stone walls, generous rooms, open spaces, and natural materials come together to create a home where you can rediscover the joys of country living. The separate apartment, outbuildings, and potential for expansion open the door to numerous possibilities, ranging from a family home to a vacation home or a guesthouse. THE AUTHENTICITY OF A COMTOISE FARM, REVISITED Just a few minutes from Ornans, Chassagne-Saint-Denis embodies the gentle charm characteristic of the villages on the first plateau. Tucked away at the end of a discreet cul-de-sac, this former farmhouse, built in 1734, blends seamlessly into the landscape. The renovation has preserved the soul of the place. The exposed stone walls evoke the building's history, while the open, airy spaces offer a more contemporary interpretation of the layout. The living room features high ceilings, extended by a mezzanine that channels light into the heart of the home. The fireplace and authentic materials create a warm atmosphere where every moment becomes an immersive experience. The 192 m² of living space includes four bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor, two bathrooms, and two kitchens, allowing for a variety of lifestyles?whether for family life or extended stays. SPACES THAT INVITE YOU TO IMAGINE NEW PROJECTS This property also stands out for everything it offers beyond the main residence. The adjoining barn, workshop, wine cellar, garage, and nearly 100 m² of convertible attic space present significant potential for future development. The existing spaces allow for both expanding the living area and creating new spaces dedicated to leisure or a business venture. The separate two-bedroom apartment serves as a natural extension of the property. It currently accommodates family and friends with complete independence and also opens up the possibility of operating it as a vacation rental?a particularly fitting option in this region, which is sought after for its landscapes, heritage, and quality of life. Each outbuilding thus contributes to the richness of the property without ever detracting from its character. A LIFE CENTERED ON NATURE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF ORNANS Outside, the 1,389 m² landscaped garden extends the home. The spacious stone terrace is perfect for sunny days and offers an ideal setting for sharing meals or simply enjoying the tranquility of the countryside. The surroundings thus add to the property's charm. Here, the landscapes of the Ornans region offer a succession of valleys, forests, and charming villages, while local shops are just a few minutes away. Besançon, its TGV station, and major transportation routes provide easy access to this secluded retreat. This renovated former farmhouse is equally suited to serving as a primary residence or as a country home for weekend getaways. Its separate apartment and outbuildings also make it well-suited for a tourism venture or as a family heirloom to be passed down through the generations. THE AGENCY'S OPINION Some homes captivate with their architecture. Others with their atmosphere. This one combines both with rare ease. Behind its stone facade, it offers a nature-oriented lifestyle, generous living spaces, and genuine potential for expansion thanks to its outbuildings and separate apartment. A property full of character, in the heart of the Ornans region, where each season creates a new backdrop.

    House with garden Besançon (25)

    A FAMILY HOME WITH A SWIMMING POOL IN BESANÇON Just a few minutes from downtown Besançon, this architect-designed home sits on an enclosed lot of over 3,280 m², offering expansive views of the surrounding farmland. Its cathedral-ceilinged living room, five bedrooms, saltwater pool, and generous spaces create a living environment where space and light are an integral part of daily life. SPACES BATHE IN LIGHT The living room serves as the heart of the home. Spanning two stories and extended by a mezzanine, it enjoys natural light streaming through large floor-to-ceiling windows facing the garden. From the living areas, the view extends across the terrace, along the pool, and out to the neighboring fields. The separate kitchen, complete with a pantry, supports family life without breaking the connection to the living areas. A bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor allow for single-level living or for comfortably hosting loved ones. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms and a bathroom are arranged around the mezzanine, which maintains a constant visual connection with the living area. A GARDEN OPENING ONTO THE COUNTRYSIDE This property in Besançon offers a true sense of continuity with its surroundings. The 3,282 m² enclosed lot offers sweeping views of the surrounding farmland while maintaining true privacy. The spacious terrace naturally extends the living areas toward the 10 x 5-meter saltwater pool. The various outdoor spaces allow you to enjoy summer days with meals on the terrace, swimming, and more peaceful moments under the garden's trees. The immediate proximity to the Chailluz Forest enhances this quality of life. Hiking trails, mountain bike routes, and natural areas become an extension of the property, while schools, shops, and downtown Besançon remain within easy reach. A HOME THAT GROWS WITH YOUR FAMILY Built in 1995, the house has been regularly maintained and recently upgraded with modern amenities. An air-to-water heat pump, a wood-burning stove installed in 2024, a thermodynamic water heater, and a 6 kWp solar panel system all contribute to its daily comfort. The double garage with automatic doors, the basement, storage areas, the attic, and the partially converted loft offer significant potential for expansion to meet a family's needs over time. With nearly 200 m² of living space, five bedrooms, and areas that open widely onto the garden, this property meets the needs of both a large family and a remote worker or independent professional seeking to combine a peaceful living environment with proximity to Besançon. THE AGENCY'S OPINION This property stands out for a balance that has become hard to find on the Besançon market. On one hand, it features a vast, enclosed lot opening onto the countryside, a light-filled cathedral-ceilinged living room, and spacious rooms designed for family life. On the other hand, its location allows for quick access to downtown, schools, and major transportation routes. A place where you can enjoy a true breath of fresh air every day, without giving up the benefits of city life.

    House with terrace Vézelay (89)

    THE BADOVICI GRAY HOUSE, IN VÉZELAY Located in the historic heart of Vézelay, the Badovici Gray House is a discreet and unique retreat. This stone house, a true source of inspiration, was redesigned by Jean Badovici and Eileen Gray. It bears the mark of many artists, notably Le Corbusier, who worked on it in the 1930s. The property is laid out in an unconventional way, in direct harmony with the local landscape. A UNIQUE GETAWAY IN THE HEART OF THE VILLAGE Located in the center of Vézelay, the house is on Rue de l'Argenterie, a street off the beaten path that runs parallel to the main street. You are in the heart of the old village, in its most compact and intimate section. The basilica is less than a 3-minute walk away, while the main square and its restaurants are also within easy reach. Vézelay lives in tune with the seasons, with a lively summer atmosphere: a setting that is ideal for a second home as well as for a peaceful life throughout the year. From the windows and terraces, the view stretches far across the Vézelay vineyards, the terraced gardens, and the surrounding countryside. This hillside offers unobstructed views and soft light, without excessive heat in summer thanks to its sheltered exposure. AN ARCHITECT-DESIGNED HOME ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF MODERNISM In 1927, Jean Badovici purchased two small adjoining hovels on Rue de l'Argenterie, on the northern slope of the village. He joined them together and transformed them with the help of Eileen Gray. It was here, in Vézelay, that their collaboration took shape and deepened. The reworked openings, the integrated elements, and the office fitted out in the attic bear witness to the expertise they forged together in this village. Le Corbusier, a close friend of Badovici and a regular visitor to the house, wrote in *La Ville Radieuse* (1933): ?Everything is tiny, yet everything is grand. It is a setting on a human scale.' In 1936, Fernand Léger created a painting on the courtyard wall, now preserved at the Zervos Museum in Vézelay. Inspired by this, Le Corbusier in turn created his very first mural on a wall in the living room that same year, traces of which remain visible. This experiment convinced him. Badovici entertained frequently. Poets, artists, and writers frequented the house. Paul Éluard, who took refuge in Vézelay during the war, left behind an autographed poem, still visible in one of the bedrooms. A second poem, by Jean Follain, is also preserved in the house's living room. A SPACE TO MAKE YOUR OWN The property comprises two houses, each approximately 85 m² in size, spread over two levels, connected by a split-level interior courtyard that rises from Rue de l'Argenterie toward the second house on Rue des Écoles. Concrete, stone, and earth make up this intermediate space?both a passageway and a living area?where a flower garden would naturally find its place. The Badovici house features an attic of approximately 15 m², formerly the architect's office, identifiable from the street by the raised roof and its two vertical openings, to be converted as needed. A cellar, much older than the house itself, is ideal for storing wine. The space can be easily adapted to suit your needs without major renovations. AGENCY OPINION This house is ideal for a buyer with an appreciation for architecture and history. Its rarity stems from the convergence of several uncommon criteria: a central location in Vézelay, a documented and tangible history, a clear modernist identity, and real potential for appreciation.

    House with garden Port-Lesney (39)

    STONE HOUSE IN PORT-LESNEY In Port-Lesney, a charming village nestled in the Loue Valley, this stone house embodies a way of life where heritage blends seamlessly with contemporary comfort. Spanning nearly 205 m², it comprises a family home, a separate apartment, a vaulted cellar, a barn, two workshops, and a tree-lined garden opening onto the river. The traditional materials, generous spaces, and views of nature come together to create a place designed as much for family life as for hospitality, just a few minutes from Arbois and the Mouchard TGV station. STONE AS HERITAGE Stepping through the property's entrance is like entering a different rhythm?that of the Jura villages where stone facades have lined the Loue River for generations, where every house seems to hold a story. Built in the early 19th century, this home is fully in keeping with that heritage. Restored with care to preserve its identity, it offers nearly 205 m² of living space across three levels. From the moment you step inside, the cut stone, oak beams, Burgundy flagstones, vaulted ceilings, and wooden trim create an authentic and warm atmosphere. The separate, fully equipped kitchen retains the spirit of the place while meeting modern needs. The living areas flow naturally into one another. Each room has its own distinct character. Upstairs, the bedrooms invite tranquility, while a spacious open-plan area of approximately 100 m² opens up new possibilities: expanding the home, creating a space dedicated to a specific activity, or adapting to the changing needs of family life. Geothermal heating, supplemented by two wood-burning stoves, provides sustainable comfort and controlled energy consumption, offering energy efficiency that is rare for a home of this era. A LIVING SPACE WITH MANY POSSIBILITIES This property goes beyond its role as a family home. Its layout naturally lends itself to a variety of uses. The separate apartment features a living room with a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom. It can comfortably accommodate family and friends with complete independence or serve as a rental unit in a sought-after area of the Loue Valley. The 46 m² vaulted cellar is one of the property's most distinctive spaces. Its rustic, stone-walled interior lends itself equally well to meals, wine tastings, or entertaining. The barn and two workshops further expand the possibilities for conversion. Whether used as an artisan's studio, a creative space, a garage, or storage, these areas offer true freedom of use while preserving the property's character. Outside, the enclosed, tree-lined garden, dotted with fruit trees, flows from the paved terraces all the way to the banks of the Loue. The river marks the passing of the seasons and enhances the sense of space that characterizes this property. A LIFESTYLE AMIDST THE RIVER, VINEYARDS, AND HERITAGE In Port-Lesney, daily life unfolds as much within the home as it does in harmony with its surroundings. Straddled by the Loue River, the village brings together heritage, nature, and local craftsmanship within a vibrant landscape. Shops are within walking distance. The Mouchard TGV station provides quick access to the Jura, Paris, and Switzerland. Arbois showcases its wine cellars and vineyards, while the Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bears witness to the region's cultural richness. Hiking, bike trails, canoeing, fishing, and exploring the vineyards are part of daily life and contribute to a lifestyle centered on nature. This house is equally suited to serving as a primary residence, a country home, or a guesthouse, thanks to its separate apartment and numerous outbuildings. THE AGENCY'S OPINION Some homes captivate with their architecture. Others stand out for the way they are lived in. This one naturally combines both. We were particularly impressed by the balance between the preserved character of the old stonework, the quality of the renovations, and energy efficiency that is rare for a building from the early 19th century. The separate apartment and outbuildings expand the property's potential uses without ever compromising the identity of the place.

    House with garden Saint-Germain (70)

    COUNTRY ESTATE IN HAUTE-SAÔNE On the edge of the forest, in the unspoiled countryside of Haute-Saône, this historic stone farmhouse dating back to 1790 offers a lifestyle centered on sharing. Completely renovated, it offers nearly 357 m² of living space with generous rooms, six bedrooms, and areas designed to welcome family and friends. Its separate apartment, barn, and workshop expand the possibilities for making the property your own, while the landscaped garden of over 2,700 m² invites you to slow down, surrounded by the countryside and nature. SPACE AS A WAY OF LIFE Tucked away along a path lined with greenery, this property exudes a discreet presence. The stone walls tell a story spanning more than two centuries, while the renovation reveals a contemporary interpretation that remains true to its authenticity. Light floods the rooms throughout the day, highlighting the spaciousness, high ceilings, and warmth of the materials. The living room serves as the heart of the home, centered around a fireplace insert and a wood-burning stove that invite you to enjoy long winter evenings. The separate, fully equipped kitchen retains its warm, welcoming atmosphere, perfect for meals that stretch into the evening. The eleven rooms offer a fluid layout, designed to accommodate guests without ever losing a sense of privacy. Six bedrooms make it possible to bring several generations together under one roof, while the two bathrooms round out a naturally functional layout. Upstairs, the sloping ceilings, open mezzanine, and views create a gentle atmosphere where everyone can find their own space. A PROPERTY WITH MANY POSSIBILITIES Outside, the property continues its story. A sun-facing wooden deck is perfect for summer days and al fresco dining. The landscaped garden blends naturally into the surrounding landscape, in a setting where the forest seems to extend the property. The barn, workshop, and detached garage offer true flexibility in use. The separate apartment opens up new possibilities, whether for hosting loved ones with complete independence or for launching a guesthouse business. This layout makes it possible to envision a family home, a charming second home, or a guesthouse project?all without major renovations. The recent renovation of the sewage system, the compliant micro-treatment plant installed in 2024, and the general upkeep of the property make it possible to move in immediately. THE PRIVILEGE OF A PRESERVED SETTING In Saint-Germain, at the gateway to the Plateau des Mille Étangs, daily life regains a peaceful rhythm. Forest walks give way to long meals shared around the table; the seasons shape the landscape, and the house becomes a gathering place. Yet the location remains easily accessible. The A36 highway is just a 20-minute drive away; the Belfort TGV station brings Paris and other major cities within easy reach; and the Basel-Mulhouse Airport opens the property to both French and Swiss clients. This property will appeal equally to those seeking an elegant second home and to buyers wishing to create a welcoming retreat or pass on a family legacy in a preserved setting. THE AGENCY'S OPINION What we particularly appreciate here is the balance between authenticity and practicality. This former farmhouse was renovated with the goal of comfortably hosting guests without sacrificing the property's character. It's a home where family gatherings, weekends with friends, or a hospitality venture naturally find their place, set in one of the most secluded landscapes of Haute-Saône.

    Castle Chalon-sur-saone (71)

    ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF CHALON-SUR-SAÔNE, THE ELEGANCE OF A 19TH-CENTURY ESTATE Behind a circular main courtyard lined with century-old trees, the Château de la Villeneuve reveals an instantly recognizable silhouette. Two corner turrets, a slate roof?a rarity in the region?and the balance of a symmetrical layout define the identity of this 19th-century bourgeois residence. Connected to a spectacular contemporary orangery that opens onto the grounds, the estate today combines a residence of character, an established hospitality business, and a refined lifestyle?all just a few minutes from Chalon-sur-Saône and the vineyards of the Côte Chalonnaise. 19TH-CENTURY ARCHITECTURE COMPLEMENTED BY A CONTEMPORARY ORANGERY Built at the height of the Industrial Revolution, the Château de la Villeneuve belongs to that generation of bourgeois mansions whose architecture reflected both success and a way of life. Its symmetrical layout, two corner turrets, dormer windows, ridge ironwork, and slate roof create a silhouette that is instantly recognizable in the regional landscape. A rarity in Burgundy, this roof contributes to the estate's unique character and evokes the architectural style of the grand residences of 19th-century notables. Inside, the original features naturally extend this elegance. Wood paneling, moldings, fireplaces, spiral staircases, and antique hardwood floors complement the spacious, light-filled rooms. Every detail seems to have found its perfect place, striking a delicate balance between historic character and contemporary comfort. Extending from the château, the contemporary orangery offers a new perspective on the estate. Spanning nearly 125 m², this vast glass structure interacts with the park through wide openings that blur the boundary between interior and exterior. The 60 m² wooden terrace naturally extends this light-filled reception area, designed to host everything from large family gatherings to moments of relaxation or more intimate receptions. MARGUERITE BOUCICAUT'S LEGACY IN A PRESERVED PARK The history of the Château de la Villeneuve bears the discreet yet essential mark of Marguerite Boucicaut. A native of Chalon-sur-Saône and co-founder of Le Bon Marché in Paris alongside her husband Aristide Boucicaut, she remains one of the most influential figures in 19th-century French philanthropy. It was thanks to the inheritance she left behind that the Charrier-Guérin family was able to acquire the property, permanently embedding the estate in a unique family and heritage history. This legacy continues to shape the identity of the place today. It links the château to a human journey that extends beyond the borders of Burgundy and serves as a reminder of the major role Marguerite Boucicaut played in French social and economic history. Surrounding the mansion, the historic 5,500 m² park provides a setting worthy of this legacy. Organized around a large circular main courtyard, dotted with century-old trees and open vistas, it offers a preserved landscape where greenery graces every view. The seasons are fully expressed here, amid soft shadows, lush foliage, and unobstructed views of the château's facades. This abundance of greenery gives the estate a distinctive atmosphere while maintaining close proximity to the city. A HOSPITABLE DESTINATION IN THE HEART OF THE CÔTE CHALONNAISE The Château de la Villeneuve's location is a major factor in its appeal. Situated on the outskirts of Chalon-sur-Saône, the estate enjoys quick access to shops, services, the train station, and major transportation routes. The A6 highway connects Lyon and Paris, while the vineyards of Mercurey, Rully, and Givry anchor the property in the heart of one of the most sought-after regions of the Côte Chalonnaise. This prime location directly supports the hospitality tradition cultivated over the years. The estate attracts visitors eager to explore Burgundy's wine-growing landscapes, travelers seeking a more intimate getaway, and business professionals passing through the Chalonnais region. Already successfully operating as a bed-and-breakfast?distinguished by the Clef Verte label for its commitment to more responsible tourism?the property currently generates annual revenue of approximately euros100,000 (excluding tax). Its current structure makes significant expansion of this business a realistic prospect. Hosting wellness retreats, expanding the range of accommodations, or creating new experiences centered on the local area all offer opportunities to continue the property's legacy. THE AGENCY'S OPINION The Château de la Villeneuve combines all the elements that define great estates of character: a distinctly recognizable 19th-century bourgeois residence, a contemporary orangery opening onto the grounds, a history intimately linked to Marguerite Boucicaut, a 5,500 m² historic park centered around a remarkable main courtyard, and a hospitality business certified by the Clef Verte program that is already firmly established.

    House with garden and terrace Hauts de Bienne (39)

    FAMILY HOME IN MOREZ IN THE JURA From the heights of Morez, light accompanies every moment of the day and reveals a landscape of Jura rooftops and hills. This family home in Morez is located in a lively neighbourhood where the centre and shops are within easy walking distance. Behind its solid construction, the spaces and living areas invite shared moments, while the windows frame the mountains in the distance. The terraces naturally extend the house outwards and, on sunny days, become a real living space. Between the tree-lined garden, the panoramic view of the town and the immediate proximity of the Haut Jura landscapes, the address offers a rare balance between urban life and natural horizons. LIVING SPACES OPEN TO THE LIGHT OF THE JURA The house is organised on several levels and reveals a layout designed to accompany the rhythms of family life. From the entrance, the spaces breathe and light flows naturally from one room to another. The living spaces open up generously, offering a warm setting where days begin gently as the first rays of light appear over the Jura. The living room becomes a natural gathering place. The presence of wood, textures and the warmth of the stove create a convivial atmosphere, perfect for winter evenings or moments shared after a day spent in the mountains. The fully equipped kitchen extends this dynamic. The bedrooms are harmoniously distributed throughout the house. Each one has its own place, offering spaces conducive to rest, work or reading. The house thus accommodates the different rhythms of family life, between moments spent together and more personal moments. The current layout of the house also opens the way for other uses. In particular, it allows for the creation of a separate studio for rental. The configuration could also lend itself to a complete shared accommodation project, meeting the rental demand driven by the many students in the area. This interesting modularity allows for several ways of living in or enhancing the property over time. TERRACES OPENING OUT ONTO THE CITY AND THE HILLS Outside, the house extends onto large terraces that naturally complement the living areas. When the weather is fine, these spaces become an extension of everyday life. The eye wanders freely over the city's rooftops and reaches the gentle lines of the Jura mountains. Mornings here have a special flavour. Light gradually fills the terraces, inviting you to take the time to enjoy a coffee while admiring the landscape. Throughout the day, the different exposures accompany moments of life, from outdoor meals to sun-drenched moments of rest. The tree-lined garden provides additional breathing space. It's easy to imagine a vegetable garden, children playing or summer evenings with friends. The whole creates a simple, lively setting where indoors and outdoors interact naturally throughout the seasons. MOREZ AND THE ENERGY OF THE HAUT JURA Located in the heart of Morez, the house is part of a town shaped by the history of eyewear manufacturing and the energy of the surrounding mountains. The town centre is a hub of daily life, with shops, schools and places to live that set the pace for each day. The Jura landscape surrounds the town and accompanies its inhabitants throughout the year. In winter, the Haut Jura resorts attract lovers of skiing and the great outdoors. When the warm weather returns, the hiking trails and forests invite you to rediscover the surrounding nature. The proximity of Les Rousses and the Swiss border also opens the door to a wider territory, combining nature, mobility and economic dynamism. The house thus finds its place in a lively environment where a mountain lifestyle is cultivated, between activity and contemplation. AGENCY OPINION What we perceive here is the balance of the place. A generous, solid house, oriented towards light and the landscape. The terraces opening onto the town and the hills offer a unique perspective on Morez and the Jura. The immediate proximity of the centre adds to the comfort of everyday life, while the mountains remain ever-present on the horizon. A lively address, capable of accommodating family life as well as a residential project open to the wider area.

    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.

    House with garden and terrace Chaumont (52)

    Mansion in Chaumont Facing a wooded park, this mansion in Chaumont embodies the elegance of the grand bourgeois residences of the 19th century. Its stone facade, landscaped garden, and open view of the valley create a setting that is both urban and bucolic, far from the hustle and bustle of city life. The generous volumes, majestic staircase, and period details?moldings, woodwork, ironwork?tell a story of craftsmanship and refinement. Here, heritage combines with the tranquility of a residential neighborhood, a stone's throw from the heart of the city and its cultural attractions. The spirit of a historic residence Upon entering, a central spiral staircase rises under a zenithal skylight, offering a first glimpse of the architecture. The house unfolds its rooms like a suite of living rooms and bedrooms bathed in light. The antique woodwork, marble fireplaces, and oak floors create a setting of rare authenticity.

Each space, whether dedicated to entertaining or relaxation, retains the nobility of a private mansion designed to welcome guests and preserve privacy. Here, family life fits naturally into an atmosphere of history and serenity. A garden suspended above the valley Hidden from view, the landscaped garden opens up to unexpected vistas. Behind the hedges and low walls, the view stretches out towards the valley and the edge of the forests. Two south-facing terraces invite you to prolong the seasons, enjoy lunch in the open air, or contemplate the sunsets over the Haut-Marne countryside. The mature trees, Medici sculptures, and carefully designed paths create an atmosphere that is both rural and urban. Here, the heart of the city is never far away, but nature reclaims its rights, offering a rare setting where fresh air and elegance come together. Chaumont and Haute-Marne Chaumont, a town steeped in history with a rich heritage, is best explored on foot: ancient streets, a basilica, museums, and markets bring daily life to life. All around, Haute-Marne unfolds a mosaic of forests, lakes, and fortified villages. Thirty minutes away, Langres stands with its ramparts, while the vineyards of Monsaugeonnais and the large lakes invite you to take walks and enjoy water sports. The location is strategic: close to major highways and the train station connecting Paris, Dijon, and Nancy, the house offers the perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility. A bourgeois residence in Haute-Marne that allows you to enjoy the charm of a small town while remaining connected to major cultural centers.

From the windows, the gaze wanders toward the surrounding meadows where horses and grazing animals roam. Further in the distance, the verdant hills form a horizon that shifts with the changing seasons. A fountain, a well, and the views offered by the estate further enhance the feeling of living in a preserved setting. The outdoor space naturally invites large summer gatherings, reading under the trees, strolls through the park, and moments of tranquility in the heart of the property. A sense of space that has become precious, where nature plays a vital role in defining the character of the place. A PROPERTY WITH MANY HORIZONS Part of the property already operates as a bed-and-breakfast, popular with an international clientele.

    In Charnay, in the heart of a gentle countryside landscape, this family home offers a way of living focused on space, light, and sharing. Located on a cul-de-sac, surrounded by open gardens and fruit trees, it provides a preserved setting where you can live outdoors as much as indoors. The main house has five bedrooms, including one on the ground floor, warm spaces, and a living area that opens onto the terrace and pool.

The property is a rare find in the immediate vicinity of Besançon and the Quingey basin, where nature, comfortable living, and contemporary simplicity come together in perfect harmony.

The garden as a horizon From the terrace, the eye glides towards the swimming pool, set slightly below. Beyond, the perfectly flat land stretches out generously. It offers an ideal space for a vegetable garden, playground, open meadow, or relaxation area under the trees. The pool house, located at pool level, extends the summer conviviality with an open-plan kitchen and a welcoming dining area. Upstairs, a mezzanine offers a separate, bright space, perfect for entertaining, working or creating a separate cocoon. A natural rhythm on the outskirts of Besançon At the end of a cul-de-sac, far from any traffic, the property enjoys a rare tranquility. The wooded grounds extend reassuringly far, offering an open space where projects naturally find their place. Nothing is set in stone here: a kitchen garden, a vast meadow for running barefoot, a shaded corner for reading, a place for games or contemplation. The seasons gently punctuate daily life and the house evolves with them, flexibly and naturally. Charnay cultivates an authentic rural charm while benefiting from the services and amenities of the Quingey area, with its local shops, school, and community life.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF A GRAND FAMILY HOME Once you step inside, the house reveals the full richness of its architectural design. The high ceilings provide a constant sense of openness, while the moldings, medallions, and solid hardwood floors discreetly evoke the refinement of early 20th-century residences. The living areas flow seamlessly into one another. The windows allow light to filter in throughout the day, highlighting the materials, the views, and the gentle curves of the spaces. Each area has its own atmosphere without ever disrupting the overall harmony. The separate kitchen extends this concept of a home designed for living together.

Whether for a large family, a multigenerational household, or a home designed to regularly host children and friends, everyone here finds a space of their own while still participating in communal life. THE GARDEN: A BREATH OF FRESH AIR IN THE HEART OF THE CITY Outside, the landscaped garden serves as a true extension of the home. The trees frame the views, provide cool shade in the summer, and offer a different perspective on the landscape with each season. The terraces invite you to follow the sun's path throughout the day. Breakfast facing east, lunch beneath the foliage, a long evening gathered around the summer kitchen in the outbuilding: the outdoor spaces enhance moments of togetherness. The pool is discreetly nestled amid this lush setting. It contributes to a quality of life where leisure blends seamlessly into daily life, without ever overshadowing the character of the place. The outbuilding harmoniously completes the ensemble. Whether used as a workshop, a creative space, or a venue for summer gatherings, it enriches the possibilities offered by the property while preserving the spirit of the place.

Walks in the parks, cultural discoveries, hiking trails, and the landscapes of the Mille Étangs offer an ideal setting for those seeking a balance between urban life and nature. Its proximity to Remiremont, major transportation routes, and the EuroAirport in Basel further enhances the appeal of this location, which is particularly popular with families and cross-border commuters seeking a combination of mobility, space, and quality of life.

    Property with pool and garden Lons-le-Saunier (39)

    THE PRIORATE OF L'ÉTOILE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF LONS-LE-SAUNIER Just a few minutes from the town center, in a preserved setting, this 18th-century priory showcases carefully restored stone architecture. The rooms open onto a wooded park dotted with ancient trees, a pond, and serene views. The house is equally suited to family life and entertaining, supported by a warm and inviting atmosphere. AN ANCIENT PRESENCE, ROOTED IN THE LANDSCAPE In the heart of a quiet village in the Jura, Le Prieuré is part of a historical continuity that is evident from the moment you approach. The stone, weathered by time, captures the light and reveals facades with balanced proportions. The whole is organized with clarity, in a slightly commanding position, open to the surrounding nature. Inside, the materials interact. Old hardwood floors, terracotta tiles, beams, and generous ceiling heights create an atmosphere where each space seems to extend a memory. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow light to flow from east to west, accompanying the rhythms of the day. A HOME FOR LIVING AND SHARING The rooms flow seamlessly around a spacious living area, designed to welcome guests. The layout invites both gathering and privacy, with living rooms, bedrooms, and more intimate spaces. In the billiard room, a unique feature catches the eye and seems to freeze time: a rare 18th-century frieze, of which only a few examples remain in the world, unfolds its patterns with delicacy. It lends this space an almost museum-like quality, without disrupting the home's lively harmony. A bedroom on the ground floor extends this sense of immediate comfort, while the upper floors suggest multiple uses, ranging from family life to entertaining. Set apart, the spaces dedicated to well-being extend the experience. A heated indoor pool occupies a separate area, accompanied by a sauna and a summer kitchen that opens onto the stone terrace. Here, the seasons are experienced differently, in a gentle continuity between indoors and outdoors. A LIVING PARK, BETWEEN BREATHING SPACE AND ROOTS The nearly one-hectare lot unfolds with simplicity. Centuries-old trees create zones of shade and light, punctuated by an ornamental pond and open vistas. The orchard and grassy areas complement a lifestyle oriented toward the outdoors, balancing contemplation with daily living. Just minutes from amenities and major thoroughfares, the property retains a sense of seclusion, maintaining just the right distance from the world. It appeals to those seeking a place to call home as much as a place to envision their future, striking a balance between deep roots and a sense of freedom. AGENCY'S OPINION This priory house combines history and quality of life in a rare balance. The use of stone, the spacious volumes, and certain unique decorative elements come together to create a place designed to endure, welcome, and pass on a legacy.

    House with garden and terrace Montbeliard (25)

    18TH-CENTURY HOUSE IN MONTBÉLIARD Just a short walk from Montbéliard's historic center, this historic local landmark offers a unique living experience, blending architectural heritage with the tranquility of nature. Behind its stone façade, the house offers nearly 320 m² of space organized around a spacious main duplex, several independent areas, and a studio that opens widely onto the garden and the Allan River. Eighteenth-century hardwood floors, a wrought-iron staircase, exposed brick walls, and a mezzanine create an artistic and lived-in atmosphere. The layout allows for various uses: a family home, a living space with a private practice, or an investment property combining residence and rental income. A HOME FILLED WITH LIGHT AND MATERIALS A former iconic restaurant reinvented by an architect in the early 2000s, the property retains the soul of the old buildings while making room for contemporary uses. From the moment you enter, the materials tell the story of the place: weathered wood, wrought ironwork, old bricks, exposed beams, and varying floor levels naturally guide the flow of the interior. The main duplex occupies the upper floors of the house. The living room, featuring old solid hardwood floors, opens onto a mezzanine lined with exposed brick. Further on, the separate kitchen and dining room extend this feeling of an urban family home. The master suite, set back from the main living area, features its own bathroom with a shower and bathtub. The spaces suggest several ways to live here: an office, an extra bedroom, a library, or an inspiring workspace. A GARDEN BY THE WATER IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN At the rear, the house takes on a different rhythm. The glass-roofed studio on the garden level opens directly onto the outdoors and the banks of the Allan. This bright space evokes as much an artist's studio as a future reception area, a separate office, or a summer kitchen facing the garden. The 531 m² wooded lot discreetly accompanies the house all the way to the water. The presence of nature, rare in this central area of Montbéliard, creates a particularly sought-after contrast: living in the city while maintaining a constant connection with nature and water. The stone terrace naturally extends the living spaces on sunny days, in an intimate and peaceful atmosphere. A PROPERTY TO LIVE IN, PASS ON, OR REIMAGINE The property also includes two independent furnished apartments as well as an attic studio. These spaces allow for flexible use, whether for supplemental income, hosting family, or professional activities. One duplex apartment is currently rented, while a second unit offers the opportunity to be updated to suit the future owner's preferences. The cellars, ancillary spaces, and the former warehouse facing the street all contribute to the property's vast potential for development. Located in close proximity to shops, schools, and quick access to Belfort, Mulhouse, or Switzerland, this home appeals equally to heritage enthusiasts and those seeking a hybrid, vibrant, and inspiring space. AGENCY REVIEW This property possesses a rare identity in Montbéliard: that of an old house imbued with a distinct architectural character, open to nature, and designed to accommodate diverse lifestyles. Its direct connection to the Allan River, its adaptable spaces, and its artistic atmosphere combine to create a truly unique setting.
