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.

A property that offers both the potential for a lasting family home and a weekend retreat in the heart of one of the Jura's most inspiring regions.

Property with garden Voiteur (39)
MANOR HOUSE IN THE VOITEUR VINEYARD Set in the rolling landscape of the Jura, this former winemaker's home features stone facades amidst a wooded park crisscrossed by pastoral paths and heirloom rosebushes. Just a short walk from the center of Voiteur, the property combines the warmth of a family home with the charm of a country estate that embraces the changing seasons, the vineyards, and large gatherings. A FAMILY HOME IN THE HEART OF THE JURA VINEYARDS From the road to Lons-le-Saunier, the property comes into view behind the trees and hedges that gently outline the park. The eye takes in a stone house built in the late 19th century, anchored in the Voiteur landscape with simplicity and presence. All around, nearly a hectare of land creates a deeply vibrant environment. A rose garden, an orchard, century-old trees, and winding paths foster an almost literary atmosphere, where the seasons seem to slow the pace of daily life. The village is within walking distance, while the rolling hills of the Jura vineyards extend the view toward Château-Chalon and the wine routes. Between nature and local life, the place retains a rare sense of balance. A BUCOLIC ATMOSPHERE The interior spans approximately 262 m² across two levels, designed with family life and entertaining in mind. The rooms flow seamlessly into one another, featuring light-filled living areas, numerous bedrooms, and living spaces opening onto the garden. The antique fireplaces, the winding wooden staircase, the original doors, and the weathered materials create a warm ambiance, true to the spirit of the home. Here, elegance stems more from the atmosphere than from ostentation. A kitchen, fitted vaulted cellars, an outdoor workshop, an orangery, and vast ancillary spaces expand the property's potential uses. Certain spaces can be adapted to accommodate additional bedrooms or support hospitality activities. The grounds remain ever-present through the windows, like a continuous breath of fresh air surrounding the house. A PROPERTY TO PASS DOWN AND EVOLVE The property naturally lends itself to various lifestyles: a primary family residence, a vacation home, a weekend retreat, or a hospitality venture in the heart of the Jura.

A residence designed to endure, to welcome, and to be passed down, in harmony with the rhythm of the Jura landscape. AGENCY'S OPINION What stands out here is the constant relationship between the house and its grounds.

Castle Bourg-en-Bresse (01)
A CHATEAU AND ITS REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BOURG-EN-BRESSE In Viriat, just a few minutes from Bourg-en-Bresse, this property is nestled within one of the region's most beautiful wooded parks. Over the centuries, this former 17th-century farmhouse has evolved into a charming château with exceptional spaciousness, now extended by a contemporary orangery that opens wide onto the landscape. With over 700 m² of living space, several double-height living rooms, eight bedrooms, and vast reception areas, the estate offers a lifestyle centered on light, nature, and family gatherings. A swimming pool, pond, tennis court, terraces, and outbuildings enhance this sense of space and openness within more than four acres of landscaped grounds. A REMARKABLE PARK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY The park is one of the property's most distinctive features. Upon entering, the view opens up to centuries-old trees, expansive lawns, and rare species planted over time by a former owner who was a botanist. Giant sequoias, Atlas cedars, remarkable maples, magnolias, and linden trees compose a living landscape that evolves with the seasons. The estate offers a rare sense of depth and tranquility while remaining in close proximity to Bourg-en-Bresse and major thoroughfares. Surrounding the château, the stone terraces, pond, fountain, swimming pool, and tennis court naturally extend the living spaces outward. Here, the park does not merely accompany the residence?it becomes its very soul. SPACIOUS ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT With over 700 m² of living space spread across three levels, the château features particularly generous rooms while maintaining a seamless flow of movement. The living rooms follow one another in a warm atmosphere where light highlights the historic materials: stone, wood paneling, exposed beams, and antique flagstone and hardwood floors. Each era has left its mark with consistency. Several extensions inspired by the architecture of 18th- and 19th-century châteaux were added to the original 17th-century farmhouse before a contemporary orangery created a spectacular opening onto the park. The large reception rooms alternate with more intimate spaces dedicated to reading, relaxation, or family life. Eight bedrooms and several suites provide a discreet and elegant setting to welcome family and guests. A PROPERTY FOR ENTERTAINING, GATHERING, AND PASSING ON The estate strikes a rare balance between grandeur and the simple pleasures of life. The spacious layout allows for large family gatherings, extended stays, or weekend entertaining without ever losing the property's intimacy. The outbuildings?including the former stable converted into a garage and wine cellar?as well as the spaces still available for conversion offer various possibilities for future development, whether for hosting guests or as a vacation home. The proximity to the A40 highway, the Bourg-en-Bresse TGV station, and connections to Lyon or Geneva further enhances this convenience, making it ideal for both a primary and secondary residence. Yet the château retains that precious sense of being in a world of its own?a place deeply imbued with trees, the seasons, and the passage of time. AGENCY'S OPINION What immediately strikes one here is the balance between the château's scale and the expanse of the grounds. Rarely does a property manage to offer so much space while maintaining such a gentle and natural atmosphere. The trees, the light, and the views give the estate a quiet, almost timeless presence, just minutes from the city. BEHIND THE CENTURY-OLD TREES, A PROPERTY OF RARE PROPORTIONS

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

Castle Domblans (39)
15TH-CENTURY ESTATE IN DOMBLANS In Domblans, on the banks of the Seille and nestled within lush greenery, this 15th-century château has stood the test of time. A stately home, it retains a distinctive presence, thanks to its ancient stonework and its setting within the Jura landscape. Behind its porch, nearly 800 m² of living space opens onto a 7-hectare park, a lake and several outbuildings. An estate where history and nature strike a perfect balance. A PRESENCE ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE JURA The Château de Domblans is part of a deep-rooted historical legacy, situated on the banks of the Seille, within a landscape shaped by vineyards, stone and water. Over the centuries, the property has evolved, transforming itself with restraint. The 19th-century restorations then served to affirm its architectural identity, in a respectful dialogue with the existing structure. The château thus became a discreet witness to regional history, passing through the ages without ever severing its ties to the land. The courtyard arranges the buildings and creates a sense of distance between each structure. Below, the pond forms a self-contained water feature, bordered by dense vegetation. The pathways are organised between the courtyard and the landscape. The stone terraces extend the rooms out to the thresholds. Further down, the swimming pool is situated within a defined, mineral-like space, set back from the main circulation routes. LIVED-IN ARCHITECTURE, BETWEEN VOLUMES AND MATERIALS From the entrance, the materials make a striking impression. The façades, the old stones, the openings and the lines of the building create a presence that is both understated and structured. Inside, the original features complement the spaces: exposed beams, vaults, fireplaces, wood panelling, old floors and generous ceiling heights. The spaces unfold fluidly, revealing varied perspectives and living areas that are both intimate and open. Fifteen living rooms and seven bedrooms, some on the ground floor, create a layout ideal for family life and entertaining. The whole retains a warm, almost timeless atmosphere, where every detail contributes to a sense of rootedness and continuity. A PROPERTY OPEN TO NATURE AND ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES Surrounding the château, the 7-hectare grounds feature a progressive layout of spaces, alternating between open areas and more secluded sections. Pathways wind their way through, connecting the buildings, the immediate surroundings and the more distant parts of the estate. The pond lies below, bordered by dense vegetation, and serves as a visual focal point. Centuries-old trees frame the views and filter the scenery, whilst the orchard and springs extend this diversity of atmospheres. The outdoor areas allow for a variety of uses, ranging from receptions and outdoor activities to more secluded spaces. The whole site flows seamlessly between the castle's surroundings and the more natural parts of the estate. The outbuildings extend this concept. The barn, orangery, former stables, workshops, cellars and attic form a collection of distinct, pre-existing structures. Each space can be put to use immediately as required. The site can thus accommodate daily life, accommodation or events, building on the existing layout. This capacity for adaptation fits seamlessly into the estate's continuity, without disrupting its balance. THE AGENCY'S VIEW We are struck by the authenticity of this place, its integration into the landscape and the harmony between architecture, nature and history. This château, with its park and pond, offers a living experience that bridges the past and the future.

Castle Dijon (21)
A 15TH?16TH CENTURY MANOR HOUSE NEAR DIJON Tucked away from prying eyes in the peaceful, lush countryside just outside Dijon, this manor house features stone facades surrounding a garden of approximately one hectare. The meticulous renovation carried out by the owner?featuring stone, wood, and arched openings?has preserved the historic soul of the place. Nine bedrooms, including several suites, define the spaces, which are extended by a dovecote, outbuildings, and areas already designed for entertaining. The property offers a welcoming atmosphere, ensuring a balance between privacy and hospitality. AN ANCIENT PRESENCE ROOTED IN THE LANDSCAPE Just 20 minutes from Dijon, the landscape opens up to this small village where life slows down. The property sits set back, protected, in a quiet setting. From the courtyard, the glazed roofs blend with the dovecote and the turret, forming immediate landmarks in the silhouette of the site. Built between the 15th and 16th centuries for a noble lineage, the residence retains a clear sense of its origins. The stones bear the marks of time, the volumes tell the story of successive transformations, and the whole fits perfectly into its Burgundian setting. The garden, spanning approximately one hectare, is organized into more structured sections and open spaces, punctuated by truffle oaks and unobstructed views. A calm atmosphere settles in naturally, inviting visitors to slow down and fully enjoy the place. FROM THE MOMENT YOU ENTER, THE MATERIALS SET THE TONE From the moment you enter, the materials make a striking impression. The travertine asserts a mineral texture, the aged wood displays its warm hues, and the French-style ceilings create a distinctive, almost hushed interior architecture. The fireplaces, woodwork, and weathered doors contribute to an overall sense of cohesion?sober and elegant?where every element seems rooted in the long term. The kitchen, spanning the courtyard and garden, follows the natural flow of movement. The reception areas flow seamlessly, balancing openness and intimacy. Upstairs, accessible via the spiral staircase housed within the turret, the bedrooms extend this atmosphere, each with its own distinct character. The dovecote, outbuildings, and renovated spaces offer an adaptable environment, faithful to its origins and open to other uses. A PLACE DESIGNED FOR LIVING AND HOSPITALITY The property currently hosts an existing bed-and-breakfast operation. The layout allows for a natural coexistence between private life and hospitality, with fluid and discreet circulation. Outside, the pool blends into the garden as an extension of the living spaces, accompanied by an area suitable for a summer kitchen. Further on, the tennis court blends into the landscape. The cellars, one of which is vaulted, evoke moments of tasting and sharing, in an atmosphere rooted in Burgundian culture. All around, the surrounding area extends the experience. Wine routes, listed heritage sites, rolling hills, and gourmet restaurants make up a daily life where nature and culture are in constant dialogue. AGENCY REVIEW This stately home and bed-and-breakfast near Dijon is centered around immediately recognizable architectural features?the turret, the dovecote, and the glazed roofs?that define its identity within the landscape. In contrast, the one-hectare garden offers a peaceful setting, with lawns, trees, and open spaces. It complements a lifestyle oriented toward the outdoors, in the Burgundian spirit.

Property with garden Besançon (25)
THE TERRACES OF BESANÇON Overlooking the Citadel, these hanging gardens ? awarded the 'Jardin Remarquable' designation in 2023 ? unfold as a succession of terraces painstakingly shaped over the years. Perched on the heights of Besançon, the site strikes a tangible balance between the art of living, hospitality and contemplation. A VIEWING POINT, A GARDEN SHAPED BY TIME From the path, the approach remains discreet. Then, once through the gate, the view opens up onto the Citadel, situated along the axis, like a landmark around which everything is organised. The grounds bear the traces of a gradual transformation. An initial slope has, over the years, become a succession of gardens, terraces and wooded areas designed for entertaining and sharing. Each level serves a specific purpose, revealed as you make your way through. The pathways follow this design. Your steps follow the water, which connects the spaces through a series of ponds and waterfalls. The movement becomes continuous, almost meditative. Carp appear beneath the surface, whilst vegetation frames the pathways. Awarded the 'Remarkable Garden' label in 2023, the whole expresses a harmony between plant composition, topography and function. Vegetable patches, fruit trees and ornamental vines are part of this living dynamic. Each season redefines the contours of the site. A HOME ROOTED IN ITS FUNCTIONS The entrance via the loggia provides a gentle transition. The dining room, at the centre, naturally structures the flow of movement. The west-facing living room is perfect for the end of the day and opens out onto the outdoors. Light filters through, revealing the spaces. The kitchen, organised around granite worktops and built-in appliances, extends the living spaces with fluidity. A ground-floor bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe leads into a utility room. Together, they create a seamless daily life, immediately at home. Upstairs, the bedrooms are clearly arranged around the bathroom. Clean lines follow the flow of light. THE ART OF HOSTING, THE PRIVILEGE OF CONTEMPLATION Each terrace marks a distinct moment in the journey, within a continuity where the Citadel remains ever-present, visible from one level to the next. The reception terrace welcomes guests around a large table, an outdoor bar and a pizza oven. Conversations flow naturally here, with the city in view. The kota gathers people around the central fire. Beneath the wisteria, the shade becomes a refuge, dense and cool, filtering the views and revealing glimpses of the Citadel. The swimming pool is set within a sheltered, enveloping green setting. Sun loungers are positioned within this carefully controlled space, balancing privacy and the landscape. Further on, a relaxation area features an outdoor bed, suspended between sky and foliage. The outbuilding forms part of this gradual evolution. It accommodates a seasonal activity already in place, in natural harmony with the whole. The journey continues up to the higher levels, where the views open out even further. Every step reveals a new perspective on the place. A place where the outdoors fully shapes the way of living. AGENCY'S VIEW A property shaped by time, where the garden forms the very structure of the site. Facing the citadel, the terraces organise the various uses, with each space finding its rightful place. A home where living, entertaining and welcoming guests flow seamlessly into one another.

Property Dijon (21)
MANSION IN THE HISTORIC CENTRE OF DIJON In the heart of Dijon's historic centre, this 17th-century mansion is built around a paved interior courtyard, protected by an original wooden carriage entrance.

The property can continue this activity or be returned to residential use. PRESERVED ARCHITECTURE, FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL SPIRIT The architectural composition is clear. A large central oak staircase distributes the levels and organises the whole. The high ceilings, mouldings, exposed beams and old fireplaces bear witness to the original character. The renovation has preserved the building's original personality. The circulation is fluid, the proportions respected, and the materials selected in keeping with the spirit of the residence.

Castle Valserhône (01)
The Château belongs to that category of residences that naturally commands respect. Founded as a Cistercian priory, then transformed into a noble residence, its walls retain the solemnity of a place shaped by prayer, patience, and the authority of time. Its stone silhouette dominates an estate where nature seems to watch over the building with age-old constancy. Now tastefully restored, the château is equally suited to family life and prestigious hospitality, thanks to its well-established bed and breakfast business. Close to the Pays de Gex and Geneva, it offers a rare experience: that of a habitable monument, where you can engage in conversation with nearly a millennium of history. The quiet authority of a thousand-year-old residence Inside, the Château reveals an architecture whose nobility lies as much in its proportions as in its memory. The thick walls, preserved vaults, ancient fireplaces, and spiral stone staircase combine to create a setting of singular dignity. The spacious and well-structured double living room overlooking the park is the centerpiece of the property, reflecting the tradition of houses where guests were received under the gaze of their ancestors, where the rooms had not only a function but also a meaning. The light, gliding over the antique woodwork and remarkable floors, creates a sense of contemplation. Here, the house does not seek to seduce, it asserts its presence. The rooms and suites extend this measured atmosphere, imbued with a certain aristocratic restraint. Each seems designed to preserve inner calm, as if centuries had taught the place to respect the sleep of its occupants. The carved doors, arched windows, and characterful fireplaces are reminiscent of the former monastic order, then the rigor of the families who shaped the residence. Contemporary comforts are integrated without excess, with a sobriety that leaves room for the architecture to shine. The spaces intended for welcoming tourists reinforce the idea of a place that has been passed down, not transformed, open to those who understand its significance. An estate that has stood the test of time The estate offers a landscape whose solemnity matches that of the château. The countryside forms a natural setting where the presence of the forest, century-old trees, and the old orchard give the site an almost liturgical dimension. The stone terrace extends like a tribune open to nature, while the swimming pool and spa blend in with a discretion worthy of a place where character always takes precedence over function. Here, everything invites contemplation: the lines of the land, the gentle slope, the succession of plant life, the clarity of the sky resting on the stone with measured gravity. The outbuildings are a rare asset for a large-scale project. The convertible attic space and the vast barn, spread over three levels, offer exceptional potential for a noble extension of the current use: reception areas, additional accommodation, a cultural or heritage venue. The old features, covered well, gravel courtyard, and restored surrounding walls reinforce the institutional dimension of the estate. Every step taken in these outdoor spaces reminds us that the château is not just a property, but a heritage entity. A coherent whole, where one can create without ever distorting its character. A region combining tradition, culture, and unspoiled nature The château is set in an environment whose identity is based on a rare combination: high-altitude nature, protective and structuring, and a strong cultural heritage. The Jura mountains, plateaus, forests, and valleys make up a territory whose attractions go far beyond the simple landscape. They form a living environment where you can find the depth of regional history, mountain traditions, and ancient know-how. The iconic sites of the Haut-Jura, the cultural trails, and the tourist initiatives are testament to a living environment that is deeply rooted yet forward-looking. The opening up to the Pays de Gex and Geneva gives the château a strategic dimension. It has an international dynamic, a major economic influence, and an attractiveness that reinforces its heritage value. This balance between seclusion and connection, between rural serenity and proximity to a center of global importance, gives the residence a value that goes beyond simple habitation. The Château becomes a place of study, creation, transmission, or hospitality, depending on the ambitions of its future owner. It is an estate that lends itself to demanding projects and dignifies those who take on the responsibility. The Agency's opinion: The Château represents a heritage piece of rare consistency. Its Cistercian origins, its stone architecture, its wooded grounds, and its potential for hospitality make it an exceptional property in the noblest sense of the term.
