    Property with garden Besançon (25)

    MANOR HOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BESANÇON Just a few minutes from Besançon, this historic property reveals behind its walls a rare ensemble comprising a 19th-century mansion, a renovated guest house, and a second detached house waiting to be reimagined. Set within over two hectares of wooded grounds, the stone facades, gravel paths, and lush vegetation create a place filled with tranquility, light, and the promise of a legacy. A WALLED PROPERTY ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BESANÇON From the cul-de-sac, the property appears discreetly behind its gates and century-old trees. The property immediately evokes a sense of space rarely found in the Greater Besançon area, nestled between unspoiled countryside and quick access to shops, schools, and major thoroughfares. The main house, built in the late 19th century, stands alongside a fully renovated guest house and a second detached building currently used for storage. The layout of the estate allows for the possibility of an extended family life, spaces for entertaining, or additional uses over time. Surrounding the buildings, the landscaped grounds unfold with gentle slopes, hedges, mature trees, and views of the surrounding nature. A deeply residential setting, designed to be lived in as much as to be enjoyed. INTERIORS BLENDING OLD-WORLD ELEGANCE WITH MODERN COMFORT The main house offers approximately 190 m² spread over three levels. The spaces retain the spirit of old bourgeois mansions: high ceilings, moldings, wood paneling, wall niches, solid hardwood floors, and a wooden staircase connecting the floors. Light floods the reception rooms and living areas, which open onto the greenery and surrounding natural landscapes. The separate kitchen, centered around a central island and marble countertops, extends this atmosphere of a family home lived in day to day. The original materials interact with more contemporary elements that have been discreetly integrated. Geothermal heating, double-glazed aluminum window frames, and technical systems provide a modern take on comfort without altering the home's identity. In addition, the guest house features a separate space spread over two levels, while the garages, carports, cellars, and workshops offer a multitude of possibilities. A PLACE TO LIVE, ENTERTAIN, AND GROW The uniqueness of this property lies as much in its location as in its layout. Few estates offer more than two hectares of private land just minutes from Besançon and the Auxons TGV station. The second detached house naturally opens the door to various projects: a family guesthouse, a professional space, a caretaker's home, or a future additional residence after renovation. The property maintains a sense of privacy without isolation, striking a particularly sought-after balance between urban life and the tranquility of nature. A property designed for those seeking more than just a house: a place to call home for the long term. AGENCY'S OPINION This property has a unique presence in the Besançon landscape. The grounds, the various buildings, and the architecture of the main house form a rare ensemble, capable of accommodating both a vibrant family life and a broader legacy project.

    Contemporary apartment Besançon (25)

    Haussmann-style apartment in Besançon Hidden from view at the back of an 18th-century mansion, this Haussmann-style apartment has a rare presence. Here, the city center feels intimate, almost hushed. The rooms are impressive without being overwhelming, the high ceilings set the tone, and the old parquet floors and fireplaces recall a time when architecture was as much about status as it was about lifestyle. Completely redesigned to meet contemporary needs, this space combines the restrained splendor of the past with the comfort of a high-quality renovation. An apartment with character, for those looking for more than just an address: a living experience. An interior shaped by history The apartment is organized as a series of living rooms, designed for both entertaining and privacy. The spacious and structured living areas offer a clear interpretation of the volumes, where each perspective finds its breathing space. The old floors, moldings, woodwork, and fireplaces interact with a contemporary, precise, and never ostentatious design. Natural light glides along the walls, highlighting architectural details and accompanying the rhythm of the day. Here, nothing is decorative by chance: each element contributes to a solemn yet warm atmosphere, where one can imagine both large gatherings and the calm of a chosen daily life. In the more intimate spaces, the bedrooms extend this feeling of seclusion and serenity. The flow of movement is fluid, designed for comfortable, uninterrupted living. The fully equipped kitchen has a modern, understated style that blends perfectly with the spirit of the place. A rare balance between heritage and practicality, without compromise. The backyard as a refuge Located at the back of the courtyard, the apartment enjoys a unique location: protected from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet anchored in its lively heart. This backyard, characteristic of Besançon's mansions, creates a precious distance from the street. Here, time is perceived differently, slower, more hushed. The views open onto the surrounding architecture and the Citadel, a discreet but constant reminder of the history of the place. Here, there is no spectacular garden, but a rare feeling of seclusion in the city center: that of living in a preserved space, originally designed to last. This location reinforces the feeling of exclusivity. The apartment does not reveal itself immediately; it is something to be discovered. This is a quality that has become precious, almost impossible to find, in a dense urban fabric. A world within reach Living here means embracing a demanding urban lifestyle. The historic center of Besançon unfolds all around, with its shops, cultural venues, squares, and institutions. The neighborhood offers a complete picture of the city: dynamic, rich in heritage, and deeply inhabited. Nearby, walks, cultural spaces, and places to live make for a fluid, unrestricted daily life. The Citadel, the quays, and the surrounding hills remind us that nature is never far away, even in the heart of the city. This area appeals to clients who are sensitive to history, architecture, and a certain idea of urban comfort: cultured, discreet, deeply rooted in its environment. The agency's opinion: This apartment perfectly embodies what we look for at Arrière-Cour: a confidential address, remarkable architecture, and a subtle balance between heritage and modernity. Its location in the rear courtyard of an 18th-century mansion makes it a rare find on the Besançon market. It is ideal for buyers looking for a property with character, steeped in history, but designed for a demanding contemporary lifestyle. A place of distinction, without ostentation. Condominiums of 30 units. Annual expenses : 4500 euros.

    Contemporary house with pool and 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.

    Property Château-Chalon (39)

    MANOR HOUSE IN THE VOITEUR VINEYARD Set in the rolling landscape of the Jura, this former winemaker's home features stone facades amidst a wooded park crisscrossed by pastoral paths and heirloom rosebushes. Just a short walk from the center of Voiteur, the property combines the warmth of a family home with the charm of a country estate that embraces the changing seasons, the vineyards, and large gatherings. A FAMILY HOME IN THE HEART OF THE JURA VINEYARDS From the road to Lons-le-Saunier, the property comes into view behind the trees and hedges that gently outline the park. The eye takes in a stone house built in the late 19th century, anchored in the Voiteur landscape with simplicity and presence. All around, nearly a hectare of land creates a deeply vibrant environment. A rose garden, an orchard, century-old trees, and winding paths foster an almost literary atmosphere, where the seasons seem to slow the pace of daily life. The village is within walking distance, while the rolling hills of the Jura vineyards extend the view toward Château-Chalon and the wine routes. Between nature and local life, the place retains a rare sense of balance. A BUCOLIC ATMOSPHERE The interior spans approximately 262 m² across two levels, designed with family life and entertaining in mind. The rooms flow seamlessly into one another, featuring light-filled living areas, numerous bedrooms, and living spaces opening onto the garden. The antique fireplaces, the winding wooden staircase, the original doors, and the weathered materials create a warm ambiance, true to the spirit of the home. Here, elegance stems more from the atmosphere than from ostentation. A kitchen, fitted vaulted cellars, an outdoor workshop, an orangery, and vast ancillary spaces expand the property's potential uses. Certain spaces can be adapted to accommodate additional bedrooms or support hospitality activities. The grounds remain ever-present through the windows, like a continuous breath of fresh air surrounding the house. A PROPERTY TO PASS DOWN AND EVOLVE The property naturally lends itself to various lifestyles: a primary family residence, a vacation home, a weekend retreat, or a hospitality venture in the heart of the Jura. The outbuildings and available space allow for extensions or additional developments that build upon the existing structure. The grounds, structured yet not rigid, retain a sense of space rarely found so close to town. Situated between Dole, Lyon, and the Swiss border, this home exudes a profound sense of heritage. A residence designed to endure, to welcome, and to be passed down, in harmony with the rhythm of the Jura landscape. AGENCY'S OPINION What stands out here is the constant relationship between the house and its grounds. The trees, the paths, and the stone facades form a living whole, imbued with the spirit of family, legacy, and elegant country living.

    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

    Property with pool Malbouhans (70)

    MASTER HOUSE WITH GITE AND POND IN LUREAt the bend of a leafy path, a domain reveals itself in muffled silence. Surrounded by the forest, bathed in light, and carrying a long industrial history that has become familial, La Saulnaire embodies a promise of the future rooted in stone. Once a glassworks, now a character home with a gîte, apartments, outbuildings, and land, it offers a rare configuration, ready to welcome the most sensitive projects. Here, rural charm is not just an image, but a tangible daily reality: weathered stones, ancient beams, generous volumes, and open views over more than five hectares of nature. Below, a spring irrigates the park, a fountain bubbles, terraces are staggered, and two pools extend the bright hours. A place to live, to pass on, to inhabit according to one's own contours.AN INTERIOR OF CHARACTER, BETWEEN MEMORY AND MODULARITYThe history of the place is read in its details: exposed beams, cathedral volumes, old woodwork, and welcoming fireplaces punctuate the rooms with a warm atmosphere. Each space seems to have found its place without ever losing sight of the essential: comfort and flexibility of use. This master house unfolds over three levels offering a fluid flow designed to accommodate rhythms of life, seasons, and silence. The autonomous gîte features a large cathedral living room and three bedrooms, while the two apartments harmoniously complete the offer, each with their two bedrooms and bright living areas. In total, four kitchens provide different atmospheres, from rustic to contemporary. Everything has been designed to adapt to plural lifestyles: extended family living, main residence with rental income, tourist or event hosting.A VIBRANT EXTERIOR, BETWEEN OPEN SPACES AND ELEMENTSHere, nature is not a backdrop; it is a partner. Over nearly six hectares, the domain combines wooded park, clearings, water points, and meadows suitable for equestrian hosting. A natural spring supplies the whole, and the former glassworks basin, now a pond, rhythms the seasons and reflections. Seven terraces adorn the facades and accommodate different uses: summer meals, contemplation, sunbathing or shade depending on the hours. Two outdoor pools, discreetly positioned, add to the sense of freedom. Materials such as stone, wood, and brick anchor the whole in the landscape without constraining it. Here, every nook tells of a potential use, a scene of life in the making.A TERRITORY BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL MEMORY AND PRESERVED NATURESet back, between Lure and Belfort, the domain benefits from a chosen isolation without renouncing accessibility: TGV station, highway, and airport are all less than 1 hour and 30 minutes away. The region, rich in natural and cultural heritage, offers varied escapes: walks in the Mille Étangs, hikes at the Ballon d'Alsace, swims at Malsaucy, visits to the Chapelle de Ronchamp, and the Golf de Luxeuil is just a few kilometers away, with well-developed equestrian infrastructures. This discreet territory today attracts clientele in search of roots, breathing space, but also meaning. The Domaine de La Saulnaire, with its generous volumes and atypical configuration, fits in seamlessly.AGENCY'S OPINIONThis property with a gîte and pond, ideally located in Lure, is an exceptional property that will appeal to families in search of an inspired place, tourism professionals, or investors sensitive to authenticity. Its modularity, perfect maintenance, and existing infrastructures allow for immediate exploitation without any work needed. Nestled in a bucolic environment, rare for its extent, it skillfully combines heritage, comfort, and prospects. A master house full of meaning, ready to welcome plural lives.This description has been automatically translated from French.

MALBUISSON, A BALANCE BETWEEN LAKE AND HILLS The house is situated in Malbuisson, on the shores of Lake Saint-Point, in an environment that is lively all year round. The lake shapes summer life, whilst the nearby resort of Métabief extends the appeal into winter. The proximity to Switzerland attracts a cross-border clientele who organise their daily lives across several places of residence. The house naturally fits into this rhythm, serving as an accessible and reliable base. The existing accommodation capacity opens up several possibilities.

The interior layout and outdoor spaces immediately complement the accommodation capacity. It is a well-structured property, suited to shared living or a guest accommodation project, with a direct, daily connection to the lake.

    Contemporary 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.

INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE MARKED BY TIME Upon entering, the stone staircase serves as a guiding line, connecting the levels in a fluid progression. The reception areas are organized around a generously proportioned living room, where light highlights the antique hardwood floors, wood paneling, and fireplaces. The ceilings, intricately carved and sometimes painted, carry a delicate memory of the place, anchoring each room in a historical continuity. The separate kitchen maintains a simple aesthetic, in harmony with the rest of the home. Upstairs, the bedrooms offer nuanced atmospheres, blending cozy spaces with views of the city. Some feature unobstructed views of the ramparts, creating a constant dialogue between the interior and the urban landscape. A GARDEN LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR AMIDST THE STONE Hidden from view, the garden stands as an unexpected respite within the density of the historic center. It extends the house into a serene relationship with the outdoors, where the stone terrace welcomes moments of stillness. The walls surrounding it preserve the memory of the place, while the vegetation softens the mineral lines. This discreet and precious outdoor space perfectly accompanies the daily rhythm, between light and shadow. A LOCATION AT THE CROSSROADS OF HERITAGE AND LOCAL LIFE Langres reveals its full uniqueness here, between ramparts, open vistas, and preserved architecture. Place de Verdun anchors neighborhood life, while the Denis Diderot Museum situates the home within a vibrant cultural environment. Shops and schools are within walking distance, creating a fluid daily rhythm rooted in the historic center. Set at a comfortable distance from major thoroughfares, the city retains a sense of seclusion, conducive to a slower pace of life, in harmony with its heritage. AGENCY OPINION This home offers a unique experience, where historic architecture engages with a rare outdoor setting in the heart of the city. It is ideal for those seeking a lived-in space, rooted in history, with a discreet connection to local life.

    House with 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. The recent renovation has respected the soul of the place while adding discreet comforts: gentle air conditioning, modern heating, and contemporary touches in the kitchen and bathrooms. 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. Agency opinion This property illustrates the elegance of an era when architecture was in harmony with the landscape. It will appeal to a family looking for space and character, a couple seeking a second home, or a high-end hospitality project. Its respectful renovation, its belvedere garden, and its history linked to the great glove-making tradition of Chaumont make it a unique heritage property. More than a house, it is a signature, an address that spans generations.

Behind its historic walls, the property offers 120 m² of living space, renovated with the finest materials. A rare find, surrounded by a 4,557 m² wooded park enclosed by walls. RARE ARCHITECTURE IN THE HEART OF A WALLED GARDEN In Chargey-lès-Gray, the automated gate opens onto an unexpected sight.

Restored to the highest standards over the past few years, it now exudes a gentle, timeless atmosphere, where every material seems to have found its natural place. The renovated façade, the triple-glazed aluminum-wood windows, and the stone walls encircling the grounds come together to form a deeply preserved ensemble. Sheltered from view and in the shadow of the neighboring château, the wooded park unfolds its verdant vistas in an almost suspended silence. OPEN SPACES DESIGNED FOR SEASONAL COMFORT The fully open ground floor allows light to flow between the high-end kitchen and the living area centered around the fireplace. The Chassagne stone flooring adds its mineral texture and enhances the immediate sense of comfort and permanence.

Upstairs, two generously proportioned bedrooms each feature their own storage spaces and en-suite shower rooms or bathrooms. Soundproof doors, electric aluminum shutters, and the hushed atmosphere of the space extend this sense of preserved intimacy.

    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 Bourg-en-Bresse (01)

    A SECLUDED CHATEAU IN BOURG-EN-BRESSE In Bourg-en-Bresse, a tree-lined driveway leads to a 17th-century chateau. Set back from the street and surrounded by over 2 hectares of land, the property offers 372 m² of living space, two spacious open-plan living rooms, six bedrooms, and several ancillary spaces, including two independent apartments. Surrounding the property is a flat park planted with mature trees, a domed swimming pool, and a complex of outbuildings. The property combines immediate residential use with potential for transformation. A CHÂTEAU, BETWEEN A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY AND CROSSING COURTYARDS The private driveway, lined with tall trees, gradually screens the property from the street and creates an initial distance from the urban rhythm. The gate marks the entrance, then the gravel path leads to an open courtyard, now used to accommodate several vehicles during family gatherings or extended stays. The château, built starting in 1378 and remodeled in the 17th century, features inscribed facades, distinctive roofs, and a listed central vestibule that immediately defines the space. Upon entering, the eye travels through the building from one end to the other and reaches a second park at the rear, used as an outdoor reception area on sunny days. The stone staircase, with its ornate wrought-iron railing, facilitates daily movement between the levels and becomes a constant point of reference in the life of the house. The ground-floor rooms now serve as reception areas, with two spacious living rooms used for large gatherings, extended evenings, or quieter moments during the day. The east- and west-facing windows allow one to follow the rhythm of the day, from breakfast on the garden side to extended late afternoons on the courtyard side. LIVING SPACES AT THE HEART OF TWO WOODED PARKS, RIGHT IN THE CITY From the living rooms, the view sweeps across the property, placing the château at the center of two distinct parks that flank it on either side. To the west, a first flat park of approximately 8,500 m² extends directly from the living areas and accommodates the most spontaneous activities?outdoor meals, games, and free movement?under the shade of ancient trees, including a sequoia planted over 150 years ago. This space is immediately accessible and supports daily outdoor living. To the east, the sequence begins with a more structured courtyard, organized around a fountain, a pond, and an in-ground pool protected by a dome?used for much of the year?and then extends toward a second, flatter park of over 6,000 m², which is more open and provides an additional, more secluded space to breathe. The château is thus situated between these two landscape entities, one oriented toward immediate living, the other toward a broader openness. In the immediate vicinity, the outbuildings cover over 900 m² of floor space across two levels, with a restored roof structure and a new roof, and now house storage, a workshop, and parking. BETWEEN INDEPENDENT SPACES AND FUTURE PROJECTS The castle, on a human scale, now offers 372 m² of living space spread over two levels, with a layout designed for daily use. The upper floor features six bedrooms, suitable for family life or hosting guests for extended stays, with three bathrooms already in place. A built-in library provides a quiet retreat, while the layout ensures privacy for everyone during longer stays. The open, fully equipped kitchen is supported by a pantry and a laundry room located on the ground floor. Two independent apartments, measuring 50 m² and 40 m², allow for hosting guests or providing separate living quarters, depending on the time of year. The fully fenced property, spanning over 20,000 m², also includes enclosed garages and numerous outdoor parking spaces, making it easy to accommodate visitors. The proposed work is part of a plan for gradual development, suitable for a second home, a gathering place, or business development. AGENCY'S OPINION This château occupies a unique position in Bourg-en-Bresse, with an urban address yet a sense of seclusion created by the driveway, walls, and building volumes. The listed vestibule sets the tone from the moment you enter and provides a lasting framework for the experience of the place. The grounds and outbuildings create a second layer of interpretation, oriented toward future development and potential uses. The property already functions as a residence, while retaining a genuine capacity for transformation.
