Bathed in light and opening onto an easy-to-maintain landscaped garden, it combines authentic materials, contemporary comfort and the undeniable charm of an English cottage, just a few minutes from Geneva. Ready to move into, with no work required, it is simply waiting for its new occupants. AN ENGLISH COTTAGE-STYLE HOUSE, BRIGHT AND OPENING ONTO THE GARDEN The entrance hall, deliberately intimate and functional, naturally distributes the living spaces and preserves the sense of discovery. Very quickly, the reception room opens widely onto the garden: a halo of light, a large convivial table, a patinated dresser... The atmosphere is warm and immediately welcoming. The double-aspect living room, with its large windows, enjoys omnipresent light. The wood-burning stove structures the space and creates a convivial focal point in the heart of the house. Natural stone floors, wood panelling, soft tones and authentic materials create an elegant and warm atmosphere, in a confident English cottage style.

The dark stone worktops contrast delicately with the light-coloured furniture and patinated shelves.

The spaces are naturally organised to accommodate the passing years, growing children and visiting friends. From the bedrooms, the view opens onto the hills and rooftops of the village, reminding each floor of its roots in the landscape. Under the exposed beams, the master suite occupies a vast, light-filled space. The beams and high ceilings create a peaceful refuge, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, like a floor of its own. A bedroom with a separate entrance offers welcome independence, ideal for an au pair or to accompany the different stages of family life. The additional space can be used for today's and tomorrow's needs: a games room, a workspace, a more intimate lounge. Nothing is set in stone; everything evolves with those who live there. A LANDSCAPED GARDEN FACING THE MOUNTAINS Overlooking the surrounding hills, the garden opens up naturally. The gentle slope guides the eye, while mature trees frame the view and create a soothing green presence. The whole has been intelligently designed: a structured, harmonious landscape that remains easy to maintain throughout the seasons. The flowerbeds punctuate the spaces without constraining them, the lawn invites play, and the treehouse extends the family home spirit. On sunny days, the south- and west-facing terraces become real extra rooms. Here you can have lunch in the light shade, extend your evenings facing the mountains, and watch the light change.

    House with garden and terrace Anrosey (52)

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

    House with garden and terrace Assenay (10)

    TIMBER-FRAME HOUSE IN ASSENAY In Assenay, this property sits on a single, contiguous plot of nearly 7,000 m², featuring century-old trees, orchards, a pond, and expansive open spaces. The house, built by a company renowned for its artisanal craftsmanship, is situated at the center of the grounds and constructed using sustainable materials. The property includes outbuildings and potential for future development, including two buildable plots located at the entrance. A GARDEN THAT BLENDS CULTIVATION, RELAXATION, AND HOSPITALITY In Assenay, on the main street, a gate opens onto a driveway leading to the house. The first few meters wind through trees, with open areas for strolling and denser sections that frame the views. Orchards flank the house on either side. The pond sits in the foreground, visible through the greenery and accessible on foot. Other paths lead to the vegetable garden, the chicken coop, and the horse stall. A garage, a shed, and a separate building are also on the property. The latter could serve as a workshop or be converted into living space. The house gradually reveals itself in the center of its pleasant garden. A HOME ROOTED IN LOCAL MATERIALS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP The entrance opens directly onto the main room, with an open kitchen at the far end. Wood is omnipresent. The large open fireplace anchors the space. The volume unfolds beneath the exposed roof structure, with a height that varies as one moves through the space. The windows open onto the garden, and the terraces follow the changing light of the day. The kitchen connects to a laundry room and the original garage, located at the rear. A bedroom and a bathroom occupy this level. Upstairs, the attic spaces house a second bedroom and its bathroom, as well as an additional room. The available ceiling heights allow these spaces to be adapted as needed. The construction, carried out by Valentin?a company recognized with the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label?features exposed wood and masonry joints. Any potential improvements would focus on fixtures and finishes, as the existing structural framework requires no major repairs. A REGION THAT ENRICHES THE LOCATION The medieval city of Troyes is just a twenty-minute drive away, with its half-timbered streets, factory outlets, and stained-glass windows scattered throughout the historic center. Roads lead directly there, making it easy to visit regularly for a day or a late afternoon. In the immediate vicinity, the Forêt d'Orient Regional Nature Park offers outdoor activities with its lakes, forests, and trails accessible year-round. The vineyards of the Champagne Route are part of the same region, while Reims is about an hour and a half away, providing access to its wine cellars and cultural life. AGENCY REVIEW This house and garden ensemble, refined over four decades, serves as a true anchor for an extraordinary living environment. The house fits seamlessly into this setting, characterized by a structural coherence underpinned by remarkable artisanal craftsmanship. The appeal of the site lies in this direct relationship between the structure and its natural, peaceful surroundings, as well as in the potential to develop the property further from an existing, stable, and immediately usable foundation.

A HISTORIC PROPERTY IN A DOMINANT LOCATION IN THE HEART OF AUTUN In Autun, the house is situated in a residential neighborhood within the historic center, just a few minutes' walk from shops, schools, and Saint Lazare Cathedral. From the street, the stone facade blends into the urban landscape, and the gate opens onto a paved courtyard. The commanding position offers direct views of the rooftops of Autun, the glazed tiles of the military high school, and the church's silhouette, visible from several openings in the house. The entryway leads to the first rooms, featuring high ceilings, preserved moldings, and a spiral wooden staircase connecting the levels. The main living area, laid out in a row, is ideal for hosting meals, entertaining guests, or enjoying quieter moments during the day. The fireplaces provide warmth in the cold season, while the double-height windows allow one to follow the passage of the day across the facades. The entire structure rests on ancient foundations linked to a former canon's house, immediately anchoring the site in a historical continuity. Every movement through the house is guided by this existing structure. LIVING SPACES SHAPED BY MATERIALS From the reception rooms, the flow extends toward a fully equipped kitchen, separated by a glass partition that maintains the visual connection. This space now accommodates daily meal preparation as well as shared moments around the kitchen island, with direct access to the service areas and the workshop located in the wing. The upper floors feature nine bedrooms, including an office, spread across two levels, with two suites each equipped with their own bathroom. This layout allows for hosting a family, close friends, or organizing extended stays. Oak parquet floors, French-style ceilings, wood paneling, and terracotta tiles define each room. The three bathrooms complete the current layout and are ready for immediate use. The two levels of cellars, totaling approximately 100 m², currently serve as storage, preservation, and logistics spaces. BETWEEN THE PAVED COURTYARD AND THE WOODED GARDEN, AN OUTDOOR CONTINUITY At the rear, the walled garden serves as a direct extension of the living areas. With its trees, it is now the perfect spot for relaxation, outdoor meals, or family time. The paved courtyard naturally connects the house to the three enclosed garages, providing secure parking and practical use in the city center. Gas central heating, cast-iron radiators, and two working fireplaces ensure year-round comfort. The renovation carried out around 2010 focused on the structure, utilities, and insulation, making the property comfortable to live in today. The location allows for easy walking access to shops, schools, and cultural amenities, while maintaining a distance from the main traffic flow. This positioning opens up several possibilities: a primary residence for a family, a pied-à-terre, or a space combining living and business activities. AGENCY OPINION This mansion is situated in the heart of Autun, in a commanding position, with a central location that makes daily life convenient. The spacious rooms, preserved historic features, and current layout allow for immediate comfort. The enclosed garden and garages extend this sense of balance and complement city life, providing a solid foundation for a lasting home.

    House with garden Saizenay (39)

    RENOVATED FORMER FARM NEAR ARBOIS Some homes set the tone immediately. Here, it's the exposed beams, the stone, the open views, and the light that tell the story of this place even before the first words are spoken. Nestled in the heart of the Jura countryside, this renovated former farmhouse spans nearly 405 m² in a warm and inviting atmosphere where the spaces seem to have been designed to bring generations together, welcome friends, and extend the moments that matter most. Outside, the tree-lined garden, orchard, and stream create a living backdrop that moves with the rhythm of the seasons. AUTHENTIC ARCHITECTURE BATHE IN LIGHT The property preserves the soul of the great Jura farms while offering a layout adapted to contemporary lifestyles. Exposed stone, antique beams, visible roof trusses, and spacious rooms come together in natural harmony. The 86 m² living room forms the heart of the home. The high ceilings and open-plan layout create a generous sense of space, fostering a constant feeling of airiness. A mezzanine opening onto the living areas further enhances this sense of spaciousness. The glass-enclosed veranda extends the interior spaces toward the garden, serving as an additional room that looks out onto the landscape. Everywhere, light highlights the textures of wood, stone, and traditional materials that give this home its unique character. A HOME DESIGNED TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER With its seven bedrooms, numerous bathrooms, and spacious reception areas, the house seems naturally suited for large family gatherings and get-togethers with friends. Each level preserves the privacy of its occupants while fostering moments of togetherness. The living spaces invite long evenings by the fire, meals bringing together several generations, or weekends where everyone finds their place without ever feeling cramped. The atmosphere of the place is that of a home passed down and enriched over time. A residence that welcomes guests with simplicity and generosity, where the aged materials quietly tell their story. A REFUGE IN THE HEART OF THE JURA Outside, the 3,913 m² property extends the spirit of the home. The trees, the orchard, the lawns, and the stream create a living landscape that changes with the seasons. Saizenay's location allows you to fully enjoy the tranquility of the Jura countryside while remaining close to Arbois, Salins-les-Bains, and the major natural sites for which the region is renowned. Waterfalls, secluded valleys, forests, hiking trails, and Jura panoramas are part of daily life for those who choose to settle here. Above all, this property offers a way of life?a place where life naturally slows down, where the seasons reclaim their rightful place, and where every return home feels like a welcome respite. THE AGENCY'S OPINION What makes this place so appealing is the balance between authenticity and warmth. The house has a real presence, thanks to its spaciousness, its traditional materials, and its welcoming atmosphere. More than just a renovated old farmhouse, it evokes those large family homes where memories are naturally built around shared moments. A genuine place, deeply rooted in its Jura surroundings.

    House with garden Vézelay (89)

    CHARACTERFUL HOME IN MERRY-SUR-YONNE At the foot of the Saussois rock, this characterful home in Merry-sur-Yonne is nestled in a landscape of unspoiled beauty. Restored with care, it blends the soul of a 17th-century residence with a contemporary and welcoming atmosphere. The stone facades, exposed beams, and warm, inviting spaces reflect a simple and authentic way of life. The garden, bordered by a hedge of 170 truffle trees, promises a rare connection between the land and nature. Eight bedrooms, including five suites, and a spacious kitchen make this a place perfect for both socializing and contemplation. THE SPIRIT OF A LIVING HOME Behind its ancient walls, the house unfolds spaces that are both spacious and intimate. The reception areas, such as the dining room or the small upstairs lounge, bathed in light, offer an atmosphere of serenity. The kitchen, open to the dining room, is functional and exudes rustic charm, bringing guests together around a large wooden table. The bedrooms, spread over two levels, each have their own character: exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and antique terracotta tiles. Five suites with en-suite bathrooms offer comfort and privacy, where large mirrors framed in dark wood contrast with the lightness of the stone and play with natural light. The whole property presents the potential for a hospitality or tourist accommodation project. The finishes reflect meticulous attention to detail: Burgundy stone, solid wood, and wrought ironwork, where every detail strikes the perfect balance between authenticity and modernity. BETWEEN STONE AND TRUFFLE TREES The property, spanning over 8,000 m², stretches behind the house across gentle slopes. The main terrace, facing south, invites al fresco lunches, while a swimming pool, a wooded area, and a truffle grove of 175 trees create a vibrant and sensory landscape. The garden is a natural extension of the house. An outbuilding, a workshop, and a convertible attic offer rare potential for expansion. The entire property exudes freedom and simplicity, with the Saussois cliffs, the 12th-century church steeple, and the murmur of the nearby canal as a backdrop. AN EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION IN THE HEART OF BURGUNDY Merry-sur-Yonne, a charming village in the Yonne Valley, is situated at the crossroads of Burgundy's great landscapes: Vézelay and its UNESCO-listed basilica, the vineyards of Chablis and Irancy, the forests of the Morvan, and the paths of the Nivernais Canal and the Way of St. James. The house is a 2.5-hour drive from Paris, near Auxerre and Avallon, accessible via the A6 or by train (Cravant?Bazarnes station). This region offers a rare living environment: tranquility, nature, and heritage blend harmoniously here. On the route to Compostela and Vézelay, just minutes from the Saussois region and the Nivernais Canal, it embodies the ideal guesthouse: elegant, authentic, and steeped in history. AGENCY REVIEW This property embodies the very essence of Burgundy: the beauty of its setting, the nobility of its stonework, and the promise of a life in harmony with nature. It will appeal to families seeking a countryside retreat as much as to those with tourism projects in mind: a vacation rental, bed-and-breakfast, artists' retreat, or event venue.

    Vineyard with pool Brignoles (83)

    A MANSION AND ITS WINE ESTATE IN GREEN PROVENCE Perched on the heights of Besse-sur-Issole, the mansion overlooks a landscape of vineyards, forests, and hills that seems to stretch all the way to the horizon. Surrounding it, nearly 94 hectares form a distinct territory, shaped by vine cultivation and the rhythm of the seasons. A place where Provençal agricultural history remains deeply alive, blending heritage, nature, and winemaking expertise. A MANSION AT THE HEIGHT OF THE ESTATE Upon arrival, a discreet driveway winds through the grounds before reaching the estate's higher elevations. There, the manor house reveals its understated and elegant silhouette, facing the vineyards and the surrounding countryside. Built in the late 17th century, it offers nearly 340 m² of living space organized around spacious reception rooms and several bedrooms spread across different levels. The spaces retain the spirit of grand Provençal country estates, where architectural simplicity harmonizes naturally with the beauty of the landscape. From the terraces and French gardens, the view sweeps over the rows of vines, wooded hills, and the rolling hills of the Provence Verte. Just a few steps from the house, the pool extends this special connection with the outdoors and offers a permanent vantage point over the estate. A caretaker's house located at the entrance to the property completes this historic ensemble, a testament to the traditional layout of large Provençal agricultural estates. A LANDSCAPE SHAPED BY VINES Rarely does an estate offer such landscape continuity. Here, the plots extend over more than 94 hectares in a single block, forming a cohesive landscape where vineyards, farmland, and wooded areas create a typically Mediterranean mosaic. Nearly 26 hectares are currently planted with vines. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Vermentino, Mourvèdre, and Carignan all contribute to the vineyard's diversity and the identity of the wines produced on the estate. Over 60% of the land is covered by the Côtes de Provence appellation, affirming the estate's roots in one of the great wine-growing regions of southern France. The rolling terrain, clay-limestone soils, and preserved natural environment create a particularly harmonious balance. At any time of day, the Provençal light enhances the views and highlights the depth of the landscape. GREEN PROVENCE AS A TERRITORY OF EXPRESSION The estate is more than just a residence amidst the vineyards. It retains all the elements that define a true wine-growing estate. The working buildings include a winery, storage areas, an old cellar, a wine tasting room, and the equipment necessary for managing the vineyard. This layout allows one to appreciate the estate as a whole, from vine cultivation to production. The potential extends beyond the existing vineyards. More than eight additional hectares are now available for new plantings, offering opportunities for growth while preserving the site's balance. Less than an hour from the Mediterranean coast, between Toulon, Aix-en-Provence, and the expansive landscapes of central Var, the estate is situated in a more secluded part of Provence. A Provence of hills, villages, and vineyards, where nature retains its rightful place and where the estates still tell the story of their land. AGENCY OPINION Some properties appeal because of their location. Others because of their history or agricultural potential. This estate brings all these elements together within a single landscape. The presence of a manor house overlooking the vineyards, the 94-hectare estate, the French-style gardens, the farm buildings, and the quality of the vineyard come together to form a particularly cohesive whole. A place designed to last, deeply rooted in the wine-growing culture and landscapes of the Provence Verte.

    Apartment with terrace Besançon (25)

    DUPLEX APARTMENT ABOVE THE ROOFS OF BESANÇON Located in the heart of Besançon's historic centre, this duplex is set within a period building. It has been completely redesigned by its architect. The redesign prioritises light, spaciousness and generous living areas, offering beautiful views. Every element has been crafted by skilled tradespeople using high-quality materials, with a focus on harmony to create a cohesive whole. The windows frame views of hundreds of Comtois rooftops, notably Vauban's citadel and the River Doubs. The two south-facing open terraces extend the space outwards and complement this architectural style. This duplex apartment in Besançon embodies an approach where design, spaciousness, light and practicality come together. A HOLISTIC DESIGN DRIVEN BY DETAIL The apartment was designed as a coherent whole, conceived from the outset in terms of its volumes, circulation and materials. The living area is organised around a largely open central space, where light flows freely through the floor-to-ceiling windows and roof openings. The Greek white Calacatta marble flooring complements this pursuit of light and continuity, with a soft, mineral presence. Upon entering, a stained-glass window handcrafted in a workshop in Chartres introduces a palette of graduated blues. Prominently displayed, a staircase?a unique piece?rises to provide access to the mezzanine. Created by designer Roger Tallon, a leading figure in French industrial design, it unfolds its helical form. The bubbled crystal light fittings by Raak cast a focused, vibrant light thanks to touch-sensitive controls that adjust the lighting. Textiles by Clara Lander lend a softer, more subdued feel. The mezzanine, meanwhile, extends the spaces and supports their various uses, with a direct connection to the outdoor areas. THE TERRACES AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT Usually rare in city centres, these terraces here extend the interior spaces. Meticulously designed, they incorporate irrigation, lighting, power sockets and evergreen vegetation that gives structure to the space throughout the year. They become a living space in their own right, combining cooking, relaxation and everyday activities. Set within the roof structure, they sit set back whilst offering unobstructed views of the city: the quays, the Tour de la Pelote, the Church of La Madeleine, the Citadel and the museum all feature in the landscape. Access is direct from the mezzanine, creating a seamless flow. Two steps connect the terraces, without interrupting the flow of movement. The lines remain understated, the floors mineral, the vegetation discreet. Together, they form a structured outdoor space that is easy to live in. Here, one can dine, garden, or simply relax at different times of the day. An integrated outdoor space, in tune with the rhythm of the city. A LOCATION ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF BESANÇON Located on Quai Vauban, the apartment is part of an iconic architectural complex. The River Doubs, the aligned and listed façades, and the proximity to cultural institutions all contribute to the identity of the location. The neighbourhood supports a fluid daily rhythm, with shops, schools and amenities within walking distance. The Citadel and the historic fabric place the development within a heritage context. This address strikes a balance between urban presence and an elevated position, offering a different perspective on Besançon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. AGENCY'S OPINION This property is part of a holistic design approach, where every element finds its place within a coherent whole. The signatures of designers and craftsmen, the use of materials and the relationship with the outdoors create a lived-in, precise and unique space. The terraces extend this connection with the city.

    House with garden and terrace 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.

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 (No proceedings in progress). Annual expenses : 4500 euros.
