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.

    Mill Denèvre (70)

    A CHARACTERFUL ESTATE IN HAUTE-SAÔNE Le Moulin de Delain, bordered by the Salon River, is a unique setting nestled between forest and meadows. Spanning over 3.2 hectares, this charming estate features a 148-square-meter home renovated in 2017, where exposed stone, solid hardwood floors, cement tiles, and high ceilings create a simple, warm atmosphere. Adjacent to it, the historic mill spans approximately 340 square meters across three levels, offering vast potential for a new project. A property where country living blends with the joy of inventing a new way of living. A HOME INHABITED BY MATERIALS First, you must leave the busiest roads behind, follow the countryside of Haute-Saône, and reach this cul-de-sac surrounded by nature. It is here that the Moulin de Delain reveals itself, its foundations dating back to the Revolutionary period. The site retains the memory of its former activity: in the past, the mill notably generated electricity for the neighboring village of Montot. Built in 1930 and then completely renovated in 2017, the main residence spans two levels. Inside, exposed stone meets solid hardwood floors, cement tile patterns, a spiral staircase, and an open mezzanine. The ceilings, sometimes over three meters high, create a sense of spaciousness and allow light to flow freely. The living spaces flow naturally around a separate, fully equipped kitchen. Two bedrooms on the ground floor and a half-bath complete the layout. Upstairs, the spacious layout makes it easy to envision a suite with a bathroom and walk-in closet. The house thus offers a flexible layout, suited equally to daily life and to more leisurely stays. BEYOND THE WALLS, SPACES WAITING TO BE IMAGINED The mill reveals another facet of the property. Approximately 340 m² spread over three levels await a new purpose. The spacious rooms and the fir-wood roof structure already give a sense of the space's scale, while a separate, insulated, and heated workshop is the first space to have been repurposed in this part of the estate. A barn and former stables extend this built complex. It is in this interplay that the unique character of the Moulin de Delain lies: on one side, a house that has already been restored and is ready to move into; on the other, a heritage site to be reclaimed, transformed, and lived in differently. An artist's studio, spaces dedicated to a specific activity, guesthouses once renovations are complete, or a more personal project can all find their place here, in compliance with the permits and constraints specific to the site. The property thus appeals to those who are as attuned to what already exists as they are to what remains to be envisioned. A LIFE PACE BY WATER AND THE SEASONS Surrounding the buildings are more than three hectares of adjoining land, comprising flat areas, gentle slopes, and a wooded garden. A well and a natural spring complement this presence of water, while the historic millrace?now set to be reopened?serves as a reminder of the mill's original purpose. Two donkey stalls are already in place, and the grounds are well-suited for a few animals. Facing west and partially sheltered by an arbor, the terrace invites you to linger outdoors as the day draws to a close. Further on lie the forest, the trails, and the landscapes of Le Salon and the Saône. Gray is about fifteen kilometers away, and Champlitte is eight kilometers away. The Château de Ray-sur-Saône, walks through the valley, and river-based activities anchor the estate in a rural setting where nature and heritage complement one another. Here, one can imagine mornings opening out onto the meadows, hours of work in the silence of the countryside, long days spent outdoors, and, over time, the mill gradually finding a new purpose. Whether as a primary residence, a retreat, or the starting point for a larger project, the estate leaves room for ideas just as it does for the changing seasons. THE ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE ?What appeals to me about the Moulin de Delain is the opportunity to move into a house that's already been restored while still having a project ahead to create. The mill's 340 m², the outbuildings, and the three hectares of land offer true freedom of use. Water, stone, and the surrounding nature give the place its identity. I envision it in the hands of buyers who appreciate heritage and renovation, with the desire to develop the estate at their own pace and, in turn, write the next chapter of its story.'

    Apartment Ternes-Maillot - Paris 17ᵗʰ (75)

    HISTORIC 2-ROOM FLAT IN PARIS'S 17TH ARRONDISSEMENT Located on Avenue des Ternes in Paris's 17th arrondissement, this 33 m² flat is situated around 100 metres from the Ternes metro station and just a few minutes' walk from the Arc de Triomphe. Situated on the fourth floor (with a lift) of a building dating from 1870, the living room sets the tone with its original parquet flooring, mouldings and fireplace. A bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, a fitted kitchen, a shower room and a cellar complete this two-room Parisian flat. FROM AVENUE DES TERNES TO L'ÉTOILE At the foot of the building, Avenue des Ternes is home to a range of shops and restaurants, with a metro station just 100 metres away. Line 2 provides quick access to other parts of Paris, whilst shops, cafés and restaurants are all within a few minutes' walk. The Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées are about a five-minute walk away. In the other direction, a ten-minute walk takes you to the paths of Parc Monceau, perfect for a morning run or a weekend stroll. These distances give a real sense of what daily life is like from the flat. You pop down to the avenue to do a bit of shopping, walk to the Étoile, or take the metro to cross Paris. For regular stays in the capital, this same layout means you can arrive, drop off your bags and immediately feel at home in the neighbourhood. The location thus brings together several ways of experiencing Paris within a compact area, from the shops in Les Ternes and the transport links to walks to Monceau and meetings around the Étoile PARQUET FLOORING, MOULDINGS AND FIREPLACE ON THE FOURTH FLOOR The lift leads to the fourth floor, where the living room retains the distinctive features of the building, which was constructed in 1870. The original parquet flooring adorns the floor, the mouldings frame the ceiling, and the fireplace serves as the focal point of the living room. These elements are enough to set the scene: a few pieces of furniture are arranged around the existing features, and the fireplace naturally guides the layout of the living room. The fitted kitchen adds a contemporary touch and provides the perfect setting for meals at home, from breakfast before heading into the city to dinner after a day out in Paris. The materials chosen for the renovation extend this focus on the finishes. The character of the flat lies precisely in this interplay between the building's heritage features and its modern-day uses. On the fourth floor, the lift also makes it easier to carry shopping or suitcases, a detail that proves particularly useful for both everyday living and regular stays. A SEPARATE BEDROOM, 33 M² FOR EVERYDAY LIFE The separate bedroom allows the 33 m² to be used to its full potential. The living room remains dedicated to meals, relaxing at home, working or entertaining guests, whilst the bedroom retains its own rhythm. Its walk-in wardrobe accommodates clothes and personal belongings, preventing these items from spilling over into the living area. The bathroom forms part of this layout, whilst the fitted kitchen caters for everyday meals. Whether for a single person or a couple, this separation allows for two distinct spaces to be maintained throughout the day. As a second home, the walk-in wardrobe allows you to leave some of your belongings there and return to a bedroom that's already set up whenever you come back to Paris. The cellar completes the layout in the building's basement and accommodates items best kept out of the living space, from suitcases to belongings used only occasionally. THE AGENT'S VIEW ?What stands out most to me is the combination of the location and the period features still present in the flat. About 100 metres from the Ternes metro station and a few minutes' walk from the Étoile, on the fourth floor you'll find original parquet flooring, mouldings and a fireplace, along with a separate bedroom and its own walk-in wardrobe. This layout is particularly well-suited to anyone who wishes to visit Paris regularly from a location where much of daily life can be managed on foot.' Condominiums of 39 units (No proceedings in progress). Annual expenses : 1850 euros.

    House with garden and terrace Val-de-Meuse (52)

    A characterful house in Haute-Marne Situated on Place de Verdun, this late 19th-century townhouse is part of a well-structured townscape, where each façade contributes to the overall balance. The projecting bow windows add depth, giving the house a distinctive presence as you approach. Inside, the spacious rooms, high ceilings and period features form a solid foundation. At the rear, the garden provides a second, quieter setting, set back from the square. A LOCATION IN TUNE WITH THE VILLAGE'S RHYTHM Montigny-le-Roi retains this typical layout of old market towns, where the square concentrates essential amenities: shops, services and a school. The house benefits from this practical centrality, which structures daily life without excessive reliance on travel. This location contributes directly to the property's value. It allows for an immediate understanding of its use, whether residential, professional or mixed-use. Houses from this era, situated in this way, with a structured façade and architectural features such as bow windows, are rarely found in the area. From the street-facing rooms, these projections become spaces in their own right. They naturally accommodate an office, a reading nook or a workspace, with consistent light and a direct connection to village life. Inside, the layout follows a clear logic. The rooms interconnect, making adaptations easy. This organisation allows for the easy envisaging of different usage scenarios. SPACES TO LIVE IN AND INTERPRET The house spans approximately 310 m² across three levels, with a structure that allows for multiple possibilities. The south-facing living room forms a central hub. The adjoining rooms can accommodate various aspects of life, from the most family-oriented to the most professional. Upstairs, four bedrooms are set within balanced spaces. The suite offers a more self-contained layout. Each space retains a comfortable proportion, allowing for immediate use. The top floor, currently used as a studio, opens up further potential. It can accommodate a business, a workspace or an extension of the living area. The ground floor, directly connected to the square, naturally lends itself to professional use. Practice, office, or a freelance profession. The layout allows for the separation of uses whilst maintaining overall coherence. These spaces, combined with the house's structure, allow for a variety of configurations: a main residence, a family home, an integrated business, or a hospitality project. AN EXTENSION OUTWARDS, BETWEEN LIGHT AND BREATHING SPACE At the rear, the garden offers a flat surface that is easy to organise. It forms a direct extension of the house, with uses to be defined according to the project. The veranda acts as an intermediate space. It adapts to the seasons, creating a permanent link between indoors and outdoors. A paved terrace naturally extends the veranda, offering a peaceful outdoor space in direct connection with the garden. Above the garage, a separate space offers the potential for a studio or a professional workspace. The separate access facilitates independent use, suitable for hosting guests or a complementary activity. This layout enhances the property's overall potential, allowing for a flexible and adaptable layout. Nearby, Langres adds a further dimension with its heritage, its ramparts and a gastronomic scene rooted in the local area. AGENCY OPINION The strength of this property lies in the balance between its location, architecture and layout. A central location that organises daily life. Spaces that allow for the integration of multiple lifestyles, blending living and working. The house provides a solid, existing foundation upon which to build a personalised lifestyle project, directly connected to the town and its surroundings.

    House with garden and terrace Voray-sur-l'Ognon (70)

    A CHARACTER HOME WITH OUTBUILDINGS JUST OUTSIDE BESANÇON In Voray-sur-l'Ognon, this character home offers country living within easy reach of Besançon. Behind its stone walls, the house provides 155 m² of living space, along with a large barn, additional outbuildings and a courtyard?plenty of room to create a family home that suits the way you want to live. Original hardwood floors, period doors, fireplaces and timber framing give the property its warmth and character, while the tree-filled garden adds a welcome touch of greenery. Besançon Franche-Comté TGV station is about ten minutes away. A HOME WITH ROOM FOR MORE The property is centered around a spacious courtyard, with old stone buildings, a tree-filled garden and generous spaces that offer plenty of possibilities for the future. This traditional Franche-Comté home brings together the character of the past and a way of living in the country that feels just as relevant today. Inside, nearly 155 m² of living space are arranged over three levels. Hardwood floors, period doors, fireplaces and time-worn materials create the warm, inviting feel of a family home. The surrounding outbuildings add another dimension to the property, providing the kind of space that can take on different uses as life and needs change. Outside, the garden completes the setting. The 1,727 m² property is dotted with trees, while the courtyard connects the various buildings and becomes a natural place to gather during the warmer months. A HOME MADE TO LAST The interior lends itself naturally to family life, with enough space to spend time together without giving up privacy. There are three bedrooms, including a primary suite, and two bathrooms. With the rooms spread across three levels, different areas of the house can serve different purposes, with more private spaces upstairs. The home's original character is found in the details: hardwood floors, preserved period doors and fireplaces that give individual rooms their identity. Renovations carried out over the years have kept the house up to date while respecting its history. It is a home to enjoy today, with room to continue making it your own over time. BETWEEN THE OGNON AND BESANÇON Voray-sur-l'Ognon has retained the easy pace of village life, with nature close at hand. The banks of the Ognon, local paths and wooded landscapes make the outdoors part of everyday life. Essential shops and services are available locally, with more options in nearby Devecey. Besançon is approximately 12 kilometers away. Besançon Franche-Comté TGV station is about ten minutes away, as is access to the A36 via Besançon Nord. It is a location that makes it easy to combine country life with everything beyond it: mornings in the garden, days in Besançon or a train to Paris, then evenings back among the trees, stone buildings and quiet surroundings of the Ognon Valley. Country living, without feeling cut off. THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE What struck me most when I visited was just how many possibilities this property offers. The house itself is already welcoming and ready to live in, but once you see the courtyard, the garden and the size of the outbuildings, you realize you are getting much more than 155 m² of living space. I especially love the original timber framing, the stone walls and the large arched doorway. They give the property its distinctive Franche-Comté character. For me, this is a home you choose not only for what it is today, but also for what it could become in the years ahead.'

    AN ELEGANTLY REIMAGINED APARTMENT IN BESANÇON On the second floor of a characterful building in Besançon's Chaprais neighborhood, this 95 m² apartment combines Haussmannian influences, natural light, and original period details to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Restored in 2015, it retains its original parquet floors, moldings, woodwork, fireplaces, and high ceilings. The spacious west-facing living and dining room opens onto a balcony, while two bedrooms and a versatile third room allow the layout to adapt to different needs and stages of life. A private cellar and attic provide additional space, in a neighborhood where shops, daycare, and schools are all within easy walking distance. CITY LIVING, THE CHAPRAIS WAY Some apartments reveal their character the moment you step inside. Here, it comes through in the high ceilings, finely crafted woodwork, original parquet floors, and natural light that changes as it moves through the rooms over the course of the day. The apartment occupies the second floor of a 19th-century stone building in the heart of Besançon's Chaprais neighborhood. Behind its recently restored façade, the building has an intimate feel, with just two apartments on each landing and three floors in all. At the rear, a courtyard creates a quieter, more secluded setting and reinforces the residential feel of the property. Much of daily life can be enjoyed on foot, with shops, supermarkets, daycare, and schools nearby in a lively and convenient neighborhood. PERIOD CHARACTER WITH A CONTEMPORARY TOUCH Fully renovated in 2015, the apartment spans approximately 95 m², with original features setting the tone throughout. Parquet floors, moldings and cornices, woodwork, fireplaces, original doors, and stained glass incorporated into the double-glazed windows keep the apartment's history very much present. Carefully chosen patterned wallpaper adds a contemporary counterpoint to these period details. At the heart of the apartment is the 36 m² living and dining room. Facing west, it brings both areas together in a generous space that extends through a French door onto a small balcony. As the afternoon unfolds, light moves across the parquet, highlighting the moldings, large built-in cupboards, and decorative details. The separate kitchen is fully fitted, with a layout that remains in keeping with the character of the apartment. Throughout the home, restored original cupboards blend seamlessly into the woodwork and form an integral part of the interior architecture. A LAYOUT THAT ADAPTS TO EVERYDAY LIFE A central hallway connects the rooms with an easy, natural flow. Two well-proportioned bedrooms measure 13 and 15 m², while a third room can evolve with changing needs, serving as a child's bedroom, home office, or dressing room. Between the two main bedrooms are a bathroom with a walk-in shower and a separate toilet with a hand basin. A storage room on the landing provides additional storage, while a private cellar and attic, each approximately 15 m², offer further space. The building's former washhouse now serves as a spacious shared bicycle room, preserving a subtle connection to its past. An individual condensing gas boiler provides heating and hot water, while double-glazed wood-framed windows and mechanical ventilation complete the practical features. The condominium comprises eight owners, all of whom live in their apartments. THE ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE ?What I love about this apartment is how naturally everything comes together, with every original detail seeming to be exactly where it belongs. The proportions, parquet floors, moldings, and woodwork give the rooms real depth, while the renovation, carried out with great care and elegance, allows the apartment to work beautifully for contemporary life. The west-facing living and dining room is probably the space that stays with you most: generous, bright, and full of life, it immediately makes you picture spending the end of the day here.'

    Contemporary apartment Pontarlier (25)

    CHARACTERFUL, RENOVATED APARTMENT IN PONTARLIER Located on the first floor of a stone building constructed in 1924, this 125 m² apartment combines the charm of its location with a decidedly contemporary style. Fully renovated, it stands out for its clean lines, high-quality materials, and light tones with delicate shades. The 40 m² living room, facing southwest, forms the heart of the home. Three bedrooms, including a master suite with an en suite bathroom, create a comfortable sleeping area. An elegant and natural way to live in Pontarlier, with the city just a stone's throw away. A LOCATION IN TUNE WITH PONTARLIER Here, life begins right at the building's doorstep. From Rue Saint-Anne, you can explore Pontarlier on foot, passing by shops, restaurants, schools, and popular gathering spots. A decidedly urban location, deeply rooted in the daily life of the Haut-Doubs region. Inside, the decor takes on a different character. The 125 m² of living space, complemented by a total floor area of 138 m², offers magnificent proportions. The layout prioritizes fluidity and gives each room a clearly defined function. The understated and refined atmosphere is equally suited to family life as it is to a couple wishing to enjoy downtown life without straying far from Switzerland. LIGHT AS THE THREAD THAT TIES IT ALL TOGETHER With its 40 m² and southwest-facing orientation, the living room sets the tone. The light changes throughout the day, highlighting the spaciousness and bringing the understated decor to life. From the windows, the rooftops form an urban landscape that immediately evokes the property's central location. The fully equipped kitchen blends naturally into this layout. The rooms flow seamlessly into one another, inviting residents to enjoy simple moments: preparing dinner, entertaining guests around the table, lingering over a conversation, or admiring the sunset over the rooftops. The choice of materials, the balance of tones, and the attention to detail create a soft, minimalist atmosphere. A COMPREHENSIVE RENOVATION The renovation, completed in 2026, addressed both aesthetic and technical aspects. The double-glazed wooden window frames, interior insulation, electrical system, and heating were all updated. The gas-fired heating system, distributed via radiators, ensures optimal thermal comfort. The sleeping area includes three bedrooms?one of which is a master suite?two bathrooms, and two fully equipped walk-in closets. A basement rounds out the features and provides additional storage space. The apartment is located in a three-story building. This urban setting offers exceptional access to the landscapes of the Haut-Doubs region. Lake Saint-Point, the Château de Joux, the Larmont Mountains, and Métabief provide easy access to the surrounding hills and mountains. The nearby Swiss border also gives this location a unique geographical setting, blending cross-border daily life with mountain vistas. THE AGENT'S OPINION ?What I appreciate most about this apartment is, above all, the atmosphere it exudes. The renovation was carried out with great care, using high-quality materials and a true sense of aesthetics. The spaces are spacious, light floods the rooms, and the whole place exudes a very natural elegance. I also really appreciate its connection to Pontarlier. You just have to step outside your door to have everything within easy reach: shops, restaurants, schools, and all the routines that make up everyday life. For me, it's this blend of a beautifully designed interior and authentic urban life that gives this place its unique character.'

    House with garden and terrace Culmont (52)

    A CHARACTERFUL MANOR HOUSE IN HAUTE-MARNE Tucked away from prying eyes, at the end of a nature-lined driveway, the Château de Culmont exudes a discreet and timeless presence. Built in 1872, this charming residence offers nearly 480 m² of living space at the heart of an estate spanning approximately 1.5 hectares, where meadows, trees, an orchard, and landscaped areas come together to create a setting that comes alive with the changing seasons. Combining heritage, nature, and a relaxed lifestyle, the property provides the perfect setting for large family gatherings as well as hospitality projects already underway. A HOME WHERE TIME FLOWS AT ITS OWN PACE From its elegant 19th-century silhouette to its generous proportions, this residence exudes a unique atmosphere. Behind its stone facades, the interior spaces reveal all the nobility of homes from that era: original hardwood floors, preserved wood paneling, fireplaces, moldings, and a wooden staircase come together to create a space brimming with character. The reception rooms flow naturally into one another, bathed in soft light that accompanies every moment of the day. The two kitchens?one more traditional, the other more contemporary?reflect the harmonious evolution of a home that has preserved its identity while adapting to modern lifestyles. Each space seems to have been designed for entertaining, sharing, and passing on traditions, in a constant dialogue between authenticity and comfort. AT THE HEART OF AN ESTATE OPEN TO NATURE Surrounding the house, the landscape becomes a natural extension of the architecture. The estate, spanning over 15,000 m², alternates between tree-lined areas, an orchard, a vegetable garden, meadows, and wooded areas, creating a succession of settings ideal for both contemplation and strolling. 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. This existing setup allows for the immediate continuation of the business or the exploration of other hospitality options within a particularly inspiring setting. The convertible attic space, existing outbuildings, and available floor area offer great flexibility for future development. Whether as a primary residence, a family home, a hospitality venture, or a complementary business, this property provides a natural setting for any such endeavor. The property's location also contributes to its overall appeal. Situated near the fortified town of Langres, the lakes of the Pays de Langres, the vineyards of Burgundy, and major transportation routes, the estate combines accessibility with immersion in a preserved natural environment. AGENCY REVIEW This residence has retained the architectural integrity of the grand homes of the late 19th century while incorporating contemporary expectations for comfort and functionality. Its wooded grounds and existing hospitality business give it a versatility that is particularly sought after.

    Property with pool and garden Epinal (88)

    An extraordinary living space combining the best of a loft, a villa and a reception area UNIQUE PROPERTY WITH INDOOR SWIMMING POOL AND SPACIOUS INTERIORS NEAR ÉPINAL Just a few minutes from Épinal, this property in Dogneville offers an unusual way of living. Behind the former structure of a communal restaurant, now reinvented as a loft, 645 m² create an interior landscape bathed in light, punctuated by thirteen alcoves, two landscaped patios, an indoor swimming pool, a bar area, a glass-fronted cellar and a professional kitchen. The property opens onto an enclosed plot of approximately 2,979 m², set in a leafy environment alongside a canal, featuring a suspended terrace, a glass-fronted garage and a separate apartment. A UNIQUE PROPERTY ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF ÉPINAL The property is situated in the green heart of Épinal's outskirts, about ten minutes from the centre of Épinal. The nearby canal, the unobstructed views of nature and the garden, the slightly elevated position, the tall trees and the immediate proximity to transport links create a rare balance between seclusion and connectivity. Here, the landscape complements daily life without cutting it off from the town. Épinal station is just a few minutes away, Nancy less than an hour, and Gérardmer forty minutes. This location offers the property a valuable flexibility of use, whether for year-round living, hosting guests, working, or creating a multi-faceted home. A 645 M² LOFT DESIGNED AS AN INTERIOR EXPERIENCE The history of the place immediately reveals its character. Built in 1980 and then completely redesigned in 2019, this former communal restaurant has changed its style without losing its original strength. The architecture retains the scale, the layout and the generous proportions of the spaces. It transforms them into sequences of life. A long corridor connects the rooms. Three bedrooms, all en suite, are situated on the ground floor. The 120 m² living room opens up a space designed for long dining tables, conversations that linger, the play of light on the materials, and winter evenings gathered round the stove. The professional kitchen, with its full range of appliances and mineral worktops, extends this vision of a home built to entertain to the full. Further on, a bar, a glass-fronted, climate-controlled wine cellar, a games room, a self-contained apartment, a spacious utility basement and a glass-fronted garage form a whole where each space has its own function, rhythm and character. PATIOS, WELL-BEING AND MULTIPLE USES What stands out here, beyond the physical spaces, is the way the interior interacts with air, water and greenery. The two light-filled patios act as central breathing spaces. They accompany the circulation routes, frame the views and create a very gentle sense of the indoors and outdoors. The wellness area continues this theme with a heated indoor swimming pool, a sauna and an indoor garden that introduces an almost meditative touch to the whole. Outside, the suspended terrace extends the kitchen towards the sky, whilst the enclosed garden of nearly 3,000 m² offers scope for other, freer and more seasonal uses. This unique property for sale in Épinal can thus be enjoyed as a highly expressive main residence, a secondary home for entertaining, or a hospitality venture fuelled by the site's distinctiveness, its flexibility and the presence of a self-contained apartment. AGENCY'S OPINION We love the openness of the spaces here, the light streaming through the patios, and this confident blend of entertaining, retreat and lifestyle. The property does not seek to make a statement. It offers an experience. That of a unique home, just a few minutes from Épinal, designed for those who love spaces to live in as much as to share.

The upper floors house five furnished residential units, consisting of two three-bedroom apartments, one two-bedroom apartment, one one-bedroom apartment, and one studio. All are currently rented and occupied. The variety of unit sizes allows for multiple residential uses within a single property. ESTABLISHED RENTAL INCOME Rent totals euros44,919 per year, excluding utilities, or euros3,743.25 per month, excluding utilities.

    House with garden Vers-en-Montagne (39)

    MANOR HOUSE IN THE JURA In Vers-en-Montagne, behind its stone walls and wooded grounds, this historic home built in 1790 tells the story of more than two centuries of history. Formerly a private school known as ?Nazareth,' the property offers 570 m² of living space, complemented by a large annex. Original hardwood floors, fireplaces, a central staircase, and beautiful high ceilings create an atmosphere that has retained its authentic character. Surrounding the property are nearly 8,000 m² of wooded grounds, dotted with century-old trees, giving this family home a unique sense of space. A HOME THAT HAS STANDED THE TEST OF TIME In the upper part of Vers-en-Montagne, near the Saint-Laurent Church, the property emerges from behind its stone walls with the tranquil presence characteristic of historic homes. Built in 1790, it notably served as a private school?known as ?Nazareth'?in the late 19th or early 20th century. This history remains evident in the scale of the spaces and the grandeur of its architecture. The main house offers approximately 570 m² of living space across two levels. From the moment you enter, the proportions set the tone. The ground floor features spacious living areas, including a living room, dining room, study with a fireplace, workshop, separate kitchen, and pantry. Upstairs, the bedrooms follow one after another, some of which still feature fireplaces. Above, approximately 200 m² of attic space opens up even more possibilities for renovation. The solid, antique hardwood floors, the fireplaces, the high ceilings, and the central wooden staircase with its ornate banister preserve the home's heritage. The décor still bears the patina of time and hints at a new interpretation of the spaces, one that respects their character. A PRIVATE PARK Outside, the atmosphere changes. The vast grounds form a rolling, tree-lined park, enclosed by stone walls and home to large, century-old trees. The property lies set back from traffic, in a village and countryside setting. From the house, the view opens onto the garden and the canopy of trees. An almost timeless atmosphere takes hold, perfect for long dinners, afternoons under the trees, and family life that values space without losing its connection to a small town. Vers-en-Montagne remains close to Champagnole and its shops. More broadly, the property's location places it within the Jura landscape, where lakes, vineyards, and rolling hills converge, with Switzerland also within easy reach. SPACES TO CREATE A NEW STORY The scale of the property extends beyond that of the main house alone. A second stone building, also dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, significantly expands the range of possible uses. Its ground floor currently houses a studio, among other things, while the upper levels feature numerous rooms. Depending on the project, this layout allows for the creation of independent living spaces, accommodations for family members, or a hospitality business. The main residence itself currently offers six bedrooms, with the potential for more. A spacious basement with an underground cellar, a convertible attic, garages, and numerous storage areas add yet another dimension to the property. The property has already undergone significant renovations. The facades were recently completely refurbished, and the window and door frames were replaced in 2024. Future work on the project could focus on thermal comfort, the heating system, and interior design, to adapt the house to a new use while preserving its identity. Whether as a family home, a gathering place, or a venue for a hospitality project, its spacious layout allows for multiple possibilities. All share the unique opportunity to continue the story of a property already deeply rooted in its local community. THE CONSULTANT'S PERSPECTIVE ?Above all, I loved the natural charm of the place, untouched by any artificial staging. You can't help but be swept up in a gentle sense of nostalgia. The house has a genuine patina. That's precisely what moved me: it still leaves room for those who will come after, for their tastes, their way of life, and the story they'll choose to write here. The grounds play a big part in creating this feeling. Between the stone walls, the well, and the century-old trees, it feels like an intimate retreat. Inside, the spacious layout makes it easy to imagine a large family home where everyone can find their own space. It's a place with a soul, close to Champagnole, the lakes, the vineyards, and Switzerland, waiting for its story to continue.' Mathieu Ardenghi

    Apartment with terrace Besançon (25)

    BETWEEN RIVER, SKY, AND EARTH Perched on the top floor of a contemporary residential building, this exceptional, fully air-conditioned rooftop apartment offers a rare living environment in the heart of Besançon. Spanning 140 m², the rooms are arranged around a remarkable master suite?a true hotel-style suite in terms of its spaciousness and amenities?which opens onto its own balcony. A terrace and a second balcony open up the other living areas to a completely unobstructed panoramic view. With no buildings directly across, natural light floods in generously while privacy remains complete. The quality of the materials and the attention to detail in the finishes attest to a particularly well-executed design. A REFINED SETTING WITH AN EXCLUSIVE DESIGN Designed in collaboration with an architect, the apartment reveals an interior where every detail contributes to the atmosphere of the space. The spacious layout and large windows create a constant interplay with light and the landscape. In the living areas, the oiled smoked oak parquet laid in a herringbone pattern adds depth and warmth. The living room is centered around a generously sized fireplace insert, while the sound system, home theater setup, lighting, and automated windows are discreetly integrated. The master suite is one of the apartment's signature features. Designed like a true hotel suite, it combines a spacious bedroom, a custom walk-in closet, a relaxation area with a Physiotherm infrared sauna, and a large balcony. Its bathroom features a whirlpool tub and a walk-in shower, all within an intimate setting entirely dedicated to well-being. The kitchen and pantry continue this high standard with their matte black lacquered cabinetry, glossy white countertops, and high-end appliances. The creation of an additional bedroom can be considered. AN OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE The outdoor spaces naturally extend the apartment. The main terrace opens wide onto the Doubs River and Besançon. From this commanding vantage point, the view is completely unobstructed, with no neighboring buildings to interrupt the line of sight. Its awning allows you to enjoy it to the fullest on sunny days. Two balconies complete the space, one of which directly extends from the master suite. The river, the Citadel, the rooftops, and the hills of Besançon create a landscape that shifts with the hours and seasons, with the city right at your doorstep. AN EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION IN THE HEART OF BESANÇON Situated on the banks of the Doubs River, this recently built residence enjoys a prime location, right next to downtown while retaining a peaceful atmosphere. Shops, restaurants, schools, services, and cultural amenities are all within easy reach. The banks of the Doubs, the Chamars promenade, and the nearby green spaces provide a breath of fresh air in everyday life. Excellent thermal and sound insulation, combined with full air conditioning, ensures remarkable comfort in every season. Secure access preserves residents' privacy. Finally, the presence of four garages is a particularly rare asset for such a central location. THE ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE What strikes me most here is the location. The tranquility, the lack of direct neighbors, and the completely unobstructed view go hand in hand with true comfort of living: everything is within walking distance. Even with comparable amenities, the same apartment located on the other side of Besançon wouldn't hold the same value in my eyes. I'm also very appreciative of the quality of the finishes and the harmony of the interior design. Here, the materials, color schemes, and details reflect an exceptional standard of craftsmanship. The comfort is equally remarkable. The elevator opens directly into the apartment, and the home automation system allows you to control the heating, air conditioning, alarm, lighting, blinds, and doors. The layout and use of space have also been designed to facilitate movement throughout the apartment while preserving privacy. It is this combination of location, design quality, and the level of finish that, for me, truly sets this apartment apart. Mathieu Ardenghi Condominiums of 198 units (No proceedings in progress).

    House with pool and garden Saint-Martin-du-Puy (58)

    Two houses in the heart of Morvan Second home in Saint-Martin-du-Puy In a small hamlet overlooking the valley, this second home near Paris comprises two carefully renovated country houses. The old stonework, exposed beams, warm interiors, and large windows create an authentic setting, surrounded by greenery and light. The south-facing terraces extend the living areas towards a peaceful landscape, while the heated swimming pool and large wooded grounds invite you to enjoy a gentle lifestyle in tune with the seasons. Whether as a retreat or a family home, this property offers the opportunity to bring together family and friends, or to imagine a hospitality business in the spirit of the Morvan. Here, nature surrounds every moment, in an atmosphere of deep calm and refined simplicity. Two houses, one spirit of tranquility The two dwellings, separated by an old barn, have been renovated to preserve the character of the 19th-century buildings. Exposed stonework, terracotta tiles, beams, and custom woodwork: everywhere, authenticity is combined with contemporary comfort. The main house is organized around a large living room that opens onto the garden. The stove warms up winter evenings and the large French windows let in the morning light. The separate kitchen, furnished with handcrafted furniture, retains the atmosphere of a family home, both convivial and functional. The bedrooms, simple and peaceful, evoke a simple and inspired life. Several suites with bathrooms allow guests or relatives to stay in complete independence. The second house follows the same codes: warmth, space, light, the perfect place to entertain, for a workshop or for a rental activity already underway. A natural setting with a swimming pool and clearings The grounds, covering almost three hectares, alternate between open spaces, gentle meadows, and groves. Stone terraces follow one another, offering plenty of places to read, have lunch, or watch the sunset. The discreetly integrated outdoor swimming pool adds a touch of summer lightness. The vegetable garden, mature trees, dirt paths, and views of the surrounding nature invite you to enjoy outdoor living. The central barn, currently used for storage, could become a link between the two houses, a reception room, an artist's studio, a games room or additional guest accommodation. The convertible attic space offers further possibilities for other volumes and uses. The Morvan as a backdrop Located in a dominant position, in an isolated but inhabited environment, the hamlet offers a rare quality of life: calm, greenery, and unobstructed views of the forest and countryside. Just a few minutes away, the villages of the Morvan reveal their shops, markets, and trails. Avallon and Corbigny are within easy reach; Paris and Lyon are accessible in 2.5 hours. The lakes, forests, hiking trails, and nature park create a lively and authentic area, ideal for a quiet country home, a family retreat, or a nature-oriented tourist activity. Agency opinion This rare property, centered around a barn, offers exceptional potential: two renovated houses, a swimming pool, extensive grounds, and a preserved natural environment. It is an ideal property for a family wishing to share a vacation spot, or for a couple looking for a second home near Paris. The possibility of acquiring the third house in the hamlet would allow it to become the centerpiece: a unique project combining a nature retreat, conviviality, and tourism potential.
