Castle Bourg-en-Bresse (01)
A CHATEAU AND ITS REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BOURG-EN-BRESSE EXCLUSIVE. This property is being offered for sale via an interactive auction through Drouot.immo. The starting price is set at euros990,000. The bidding increment is set at euros30,000. The sale will take place on 19 December 2026 at 11.00 am. Participation is subject to prior approval. Information and terms and conditions available on request. 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

Completely renovated, it offers nearly 357 m² of living space with generous rooms, six bedrooms, and areas designed to welcome family and friends. Its separate apartment, barn, and workshop expand the possibilities for making the property your own, while the landscaped garden of over 2,700 m² invites you to slow down, surrounded by the countryside and nature. SPACE AS A WAY OF LIFE Tucked away along a path lined with greenery, this property exudes a discreet presence. The stone walls tell a story spanning more than two centuries, while the renovation reveals a contemporary interpretation that remains true to its authenticity. Light floods the rooms throughout the day, highlighting the spaciousness, high ceilings, and warmth of the materials. The living room serves as the heart of the home, centered around a fireplace insert and a wood-burning stove that invite you to enjoy long winter evenings. The separate, fully equipped kitchen retains its warm, welcoming atmosphere, perfect for meals that stretch into the evening. The eleven rooms offer a fluid layout, designed to accommodate guests without ever losing a sense of privacy. Six bedrooms make it possible to bring several generations together under one roof, while the two bathrooms round out a naturally functional layout.

A PROPERTY WITH MANY POSSIBILITIES Outside, the property continues its story. A sun-facing wooden deck is perfect for summer days and al fresco dining.

THE PRIVILEGE OF A PRESERVED SETTING In Saint-Germain, at the gateway to the Plateau des Mille Étangs, daily life regains a peaceful rhythm. Forest walks give way to long meals shared around the table; the seasons shape the landscape, and the house becomes a gathering place. Yet the location remains easily accessible. The A36 highway is just a 20-minute drive away; the Belfort TGV station brings Paris and other major cities within easy reach; and the Basel-Mulhouse Airport opens the property to both French and Swiss clients. This property will appeal equally to those seeking an elegant second home and to buyers wishing to create a welcoming retreat or pass on a family legacy in a preserved setting. THE AGENCY'S OPINION What we particularly appreciate here is the balance between authenticity and practicality. This former farmhouse was renovated with the goal of comfortably hosting guests without sacrificing the property's character. It's a home where family gatherings, weekends with friends, or a hospitality venture naturally find their place, set in one of the most secluded landscapes of Haute-Saône.

Mill Mhère (58)
THE VAUPRANGES MILL IN THE MORVAN In Mhère, at the Vaupranges Mill, a road winds down into the valley floor to a property crossed by the Anguison River. The stone building stands in front of the millrace and retains part of its mechanism, which is visible from the living areas. The house comprises nine rooms, including six bedrooms, spread over four levels, and is currently used as a vacation rental. Some rooms are in daily use, while others still need to be developed. Outbuildings, land, and a swimming pool complete the property. ARRIVAL AT THE VALLEY FLOOR Access follows a road that winds down through the woods to the valley floor. The mill is situated on the edge of the millstream, in an open setting of meadows and forest edges. Built around 1650, its proportions and location place it among the hydraulic structures of the Morvan region. The building has been restored in keeping with its original structure. The woodwork has been refurbished, the doors are made of oak, the floors have been insulated, and the utilities have been updated. The entryway leads to a first living area. The living room, featuring a fireplace, opens onto the landscape and extends into a wooden veranda overlooking the garden. The estate spans 2.18 hectares. It includes meadows, wooded areas, and the riverbanks. The Anguison River flows through the property and feeds the mill race, maintaining a direct link to the mill's original operation. THE MECHANISM ROOM In the guesthouse area, the large dining room?designed for receptions and events?is equipped with a professional kitchen and also houses the mill's machinery, which is visible and integrated into the dining space. The machinery remains in place, its operation clearly visible, and directly connects the property's current use to its history. A separate kitchen allows for optimal organization and is currently used for family gatherings. Some rooms are already suitable for extended stays, while others require targeted renovations to ensure the site's long-term sustainability. Outside, a south-facing terrace provides a setting for meals. The swimming pool, situated at a distance above the millrace, creates a second relaxation area used during the season. The possibility of restoring the hydraulic system, meanwhile, ensures tangible continuity. LIVING AND EVOLVING The house features nine rooms, including six bedrooms spread across four levels, allowing it to accommodate several people and maintain the guesthouse operation already in place. Three bathrooms complement this layout. The outbuildings, opposite the house?a former grain loft and a barn?expand the property's capacity.

House with garden and terrace Saint-die-des-vosges (88)
Living in a unique setting steeped in history A renovated country house in the heart of the Val d'Argent Set at an altitude of 650 metres, on the edge of the forest, this property, built in 1906, overlooks the hills of the Val d'Argent. Its half-timbered façade, deep eaves and distinctive turret create an instantly recognisable architectural style. Once linked to a prominent family from the valley, the house still bears traces of this history today. Set in a preserved natural environment, the property offers nearly 450 m² of living space. The complex comprises a main residence and several separate guest areas, allowing for daily life on the property whilst entertaining guests. Surrounding the buildings, nearly ten hectares of land extend the estate into an open landscape. Meadows, forest edges and the Vosges hills create a calm and unobstructed setting, where the house seems to fit in naturally. Now known as 'La Tourelle', the property has evolved over time. It has become a living space as much as a place to welcome guests, without losing the spirit of the original residence. LIFE WITHIN THE RESIDENCE You enter a house that has stood the test of time. The ancient walls, generous spaces and vaulted cellar evoke the historic character of the place. The kitchen forms the heart of the ground floor. Designed as a central space, it naturally brings together residents and visitors. Light flows through the windows, revealing the exposed beams and light-coloured surfaces. The 45 m² living room extends this atmosphere. The windows frame the surrounding landscapes and let in the ever-changing light of the Vosges. Extending from it, a slightly overhanging wooden terrace opens up the view to the meadows and wooded slopes. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two bathrooms allow for a separate private area when hosting activities intensify. A separate wing of approximately 120 m² welcomes visitors in its own space. The spaces are simple and light-filled, with separate entrances and a 50 m² terrace facing the landscape. The apartment accessed via the turret is one of the property's most distinctive features. This vertical entrance defines the house's architectural identity and evokes its history. Thus, the house does not simply juxtapose functions: it simply allows for living and entertaining in the same space. A PROPERTY OPEN TO THE LANDSCAPE The property is set within a rolling landscape that offers sweeping views. From the house, the vista takes in the wooded ridges, the meadows below and the scattered hamlets of the Val d'Argent. This commanding position provides a sense of space and perspective. The adjoining land covers nearly ten hectares, consisting mainly of meadows and complemented by around two hectares of woodland. A vegetable garden is already in place. A well and several springs, two of which are in use, contribute to the site's balance. The outbuildings cover approximately 800 m² and complete the ensemble: a barn, a shed, a workshop, a storeroom and garages. There are also three covered parking spaces. Heating via a wood chip boiler, fuelled by wood chips, blends naturally into this wooded environment. Here, the buildings and the landscape work in harmony. LE VAL D'ARGENT Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines is situated in the heart of the Vosges mountains, in the Haut-Rhin. The Val d'Argent region alternates between deep forests, open meadows and ridgelines. At this altitude, the air is clearer and the silence more pronounced. The light changes with the seasons and highlights the contours of the landscape. The valley remains lively and dynamic whilst retaining a genuine sense of calm and natural beauty. AGENCY'S OPINION This property combines distinctive architecture, vast natural spaces and potential for hospitality. The iconic turret, the interior volumes and the commanding position give the place a strong identity. A rare find for a buyer wishing to live in a place steeped in history whilst developing a hospitality business, in a preserved environment.

House with pool and garden Sommevoire (52)
PROPERTY WITH AN OLD MILL IN HAUTE-MARNE In Sommevoire, the River Voire runs through the property and defines its layout. This 19th-century mill retains its machinery and traces of a past water-based industry. The river flows alongside the buildings and leads into a pond, creating a continuous aquatic presence at the heart of the grounds. The main house, a separate guesthouse and several outbuildings form a structured ensemble, ideal for family life or a hospitality venture rooted in the natural surroundings and the history of the site. SPACES THAT CONTINUE THE HISTORY Inside, the layout reflects the mill's original logic. The main residence features a fluid layout, centred around two living areas on the ground floor. This configuration allows for distinct atmospheres and adapts the spaces to different times of the day. Two bedrooms on this level offer comfort and flexibility in layout. The fitted kitchen integrates naturally into this dynamic and supports a daily life centred on sharing. Extending from these spaces, the upper floor offers a more intimate atmosphere. The master suite benefits from its own bathroom and a secluded layout. A large, versatile room lends itself to various uses, whether as a living room, an office or an additional bedroom. The landings organise the flow of movement and create a gentle transition between the levels. A few steps away, in the second building, the timber-floored levels house the mechanical systems across several storeys. Their scale gives the space a distinctive character. The self-contained guest house, comprising a living room with a fireplace, two bedrooms and a bathroom, allows families or guests to be accommodated in complete privacy. Thus, each space contributes to the overall harmony of this property featuring an old mill in Haute-Marne. A PARK FRAMED BY THE RIVER Outside, the same coherence is evident. The park, covering approximately one and a half hectares, is organised around the Voire, which runs through the property and forms its natural axis. The water accompanies one's movements, reflects the light and creates a sense of continuity. The pond extends this presence and creates a point of balance within the landscape. Together, the river and pond form a living setting, perceptible in every season. Within this context, the open meadows offer spaces suitable for various projects, notably light equestrian use. The views remain structured by the water and the positioning of the outbuildings. The park does more than simply surround the property. It extends the architecture and reinforces the site's roots. On this estate with an old mill in Haute-Marne, the relationship with water shapes daily life as much as the landscape. A PLACE ROOTED IN ITS TERRITORY Beyond the park, the site is part of a broader history. The mill is documented as far back as the 19th century, and an ordinance of 1836 authorised its conversion into a blast furnace. The preserved machinery bears witness to this evolution and anchors the site in a documented history. Living here means becoming part of a tangible continuity. Around Sommevoire, the rural environment remains shaped by watercourses and open landscapes. Forests and meadows create a setting ideal for outdoor activities. The proximity of Lake Der enhances the area's appeal and supports a hospitality project already underway thanks to the existing gîte. Thus, this property with an old mill in Haute-Marne benefits from a coherent local connection, at the crossroads of heritage and nature. AGENCY'S OPINION This property with an old mill in Haute-Marne is distinguished by the constant presence of water, carried by the River Voire and extended by a pond at the heart of the grounds. The preserved machinery, the layout comprising the main residence and gîte, as well as the outbuildings, provide a solid foundation for a residential or tourism project. The site demonstrates a rare harmony between its natural setting and documented history, and is ideal for a buyer who appreciates places with deep-rooted character and potential for development.

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

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

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

It naturally connects the various spaces while opening widely to the outdoors through large windows that invite light to accompany every moment of the day. The spaces reject any sense of rigidity, favoring fluid circulation and multiple perspectives, creating a rare sense of freedom in a residence of this scale. Slavic influences are subtly revealed in the choice of materials and details. Colorful marbles from Italy, bold moldings, antique stone fireplaces salvaged from a castle, and elegant ironwork combine to create an expressive and warm decor. Each space has its own character without ever disrupting the overall unity. The bedrooms, designed as places of retreat and privacy, offer remarkable comfort, with some featuring their own bathrooms. The wellness area, directly accessible from inside, extends this pursuit of quality of life in a cozy and soothing atmosphere. THE PARK AS A NATURAL EXTENSION OF THE HOME The park, spanning over four thousand square meters, is one of the defining features of this property. Tree-lined and carefully landscaped, it was designed as a true place for strolling, punctuated by paved paths that invite you to take a walk. The Jura stone retaining walls, the careful selection of plant species, and the thoughtful arrangement of vegetation create a structured yet living landscape, where each season offers its own unique perspective on the site. The eye naturally wanders, discovering in turn open vistas and more intimate, secluded areas. The generously sized terrace serves as a reception area in its own right. It flanks the outdoor pool and opens onto the surrounding hills, offering a panoramic view of the alpine landscape.

Together, they form a cohesive, elegant, and functional outdoor space where nature is never merely decorative but fully integrated, extending the interior architecture with a sense of continuity.

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

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

House with garden and terrace Gex (01)
FAMILY HOME WITH GARDEN AND VIEWS IN GEX On the heights of Gex, facing the Jura mountains and the distant peaks of the Alps, this family home with more than seven bedrooms is set in a leafy residential area. Bathed in light and opening onto an easy-to-maintain landscaped garden, it combines authentic materials, contemporary comfort and the undeniable charm of an English cottage, just a few minutes from Geneva. Ready to move into, with no work required, it is simply waiting for its new occupants. AN ENGLISH COTTAGE-STYLE HOUSE, BRIGHT AND OPENING ONTO THE GARDEN The entrance hall, deliberately intimate and functional, naturally distributes the living spaces and preserves the sense of discovery. Very quickly, the reception room opens widely onto the garden: a halo of light, a large convivial table, a patinated dresser... The atmosphere is warm and immediately welcoming. The double-aspect living room, with its large windows, enjoys omnipresent light. The wood-burning stove structures the space and creates a convivial focal point in the heart of the house. Natural stone floors, wood panelling, soft tones and authentic materials create an elegant and warm atmosphere, in a confident English cottage style.

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

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.

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.

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

Property with garden Bourogne (90)
A SINGLE-STORY VILLA BETWEEN BELFORT AND SWITZERLAND In Bourogne, between Belfort and the Swiss border, this single-story villa occupies a commanding position in the heart of a wooded park spanning over 5,250 m². Renovated in 2020, it spans 177 m² in a contemporary style where the open floor plan, natural light, and views of the garden create a peaceful atmosphere. Nearly 100 m² are dedicated to the living area, designed as a seamless space combining the living room, dining room, and open kitchen. Three bedrooms?including a master suite?a spacious south-facing terrace, and two garages complete this home designed for a seamless lifestyle, located in close proximity to the region's major thoroughfares. CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE OPENING ONTO THE PARK At the end of a cul-de-sac, the house stands in a commanding position, surrounded by more than 52 ares of wooded grounds. The park naturally creates a sense of distance from its surroundings. Here, the vegetation becomes an integral part of the architecture and provides privacy to the outdoor spaces. The renovation completed in 2020 gave the property a distinctly contemporary style. With 177 m² of living space, the entirely single-story layout prioritizes easy circulation and generous openings. The south-facing terrace offers a direct view of the park. Adjustable bioclimatic awnings allow you to modulate the shade and light throughout the day. The location strikes a balance between this sense of seclusion and proximity to the main hubs of urban life. NEARLY 100 M² OF LIGHT AND VIEWS Inside, the living area immediately sets the tone for the home. Nearly 100 m² bring together the living room, dining room, and open kitchen within a single open space. The spaces complement one another, light flows freely, and the eye is drawn through the windows to the outdoors. The fully equipped kitchen fits seamlessly into this layout as a true gathering place. Further along, the fireplace with a wood-burning insert adds a warmer touch and gives the living room a different atmosphere as the seasons change. The sleeping area comprises three bedrooms. The master suite forms a world of its own with its large walk-in closet and private bathroom, while a second bathroom serves the other two bedrooms. A wine cellar rounds out the interior spaces. Underfloor heating powered by a heat pump, home automation systems, and a Class B energy efficiency rating all contribute to a design where everyday comfort discreetly complements the architecture. BETWEEN THE TERRACE, THE PARK, AND NEAR SWITZERLAND The home extends seamlessly outdoors. From the panoramic terrace, the park becomes the backdrop for summer days, al fresco meals, and evenings spent under the trees. Its size allows for a variety of experiences and enables the outdoor spaces to evolve in harmony with the home. Two enclosed garages with motorized doors complement a spacious outdoor parking area. The property is also connected to the municipal sewer system. This location thus offers a comfortable way of life in the region. The daily presence of nature, ample space for entertaining, and Belfort just fifteen minutes away. Meanwhile, the TGV station and the Hôpital Nord Franche-Comté are both about ten minutes away. The Swiss border is accessible in less than fifteen minutes. THE BACKYARD ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE ?What struck me here is the quality of the features combined with the simplicity of a single-story home. Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, the villa enjoys a peaceful atmosphere and true privacy. A unique property in this sought-after area, between Belfort and neighboring Switzerland.'
