castles for sale Franche Comté, France

A medieval and Renaissance castle, listed as a historic monument. On the edge of the village, facing the fields, the castle occupies a central position within the property, at the site of a 11th-century fort that has since disappeared. The southwest part consists of a tower and an entrance porch, where traces of the former drawbridge from the 15th century are still visible. The courtyard facade was built in 1570 for Antoine d’Oiselay, by the architect Hugues Sambin, both local figures. An important transformation campaign carried out in the early 19th century by the architect Marnotte for the family of Magnoncourt has given the whole its current configuration, notably with an elevation and new interior arrangements. The wall paintings in the honor salon date from the 1980s and were created by students from an art school. The building has an L-shaped plan, with a medieval round tower in the southwest and a square tower in the northeast. An outbuilding is located to the north and communicates with it through a passage at the lower level. Raised to six levels, the building includes a semi-buried level occupied by cellars and old kitchens, as well as a final level of attics. Built in the 1970s, the outbuilding, raised to three levels, was intended for a school. Its converted attics house a former cinema hall.This description has been automatically translated from French.

iad France - Alain Barbe offers you: There are properties that one visits, and others that provoke an emotion as soon as one crosses their doors. The Château de Beauregard undoubtedly belongs to the latter category. Located in Pagney, in the heart of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and ideally positioned between Besançon and Dijon, this remarkable estate built in the early 19th century reveals itself behind its stone walls, within a landscaped park enclosed and wooded over two hectares. Perfectly maintained as a whole, the château develops 677 m² of living space spread over three levels and impresses as much with its volumes as with the atmosphere it exudes. Its 21 rooms include 15 bedrooms, three reception lounges, ten bathrooms, nine toilets, as well as a fully equipped semi-professional kitchen. An independent private accommodation completes the ensemble and allows for various living or activity arrangements without sacrificing each person's privacy. Here, the large proportions do not detract from the warm character of the places: the views of the park accompany the living areas and offer, through the seasons, a particularly privileged decor. While the property is currently fully functional, some refreshing work will allow its future owners to bring it up to date and reveal its full potential according to their desires, without altering the soul and character of the places. A true asset for those considering a tourist, event, or more broadly a project oriented towards welcoming the public: several significant improvements have already been made in this regard. The château notably features an elegant external emergency staircase serving the different levels, existing emergency exits, smoke detectors installed in each room, as well as two fire doors in the interior parts. These are facilities that provide a particularly interesting basis for considering the evolution of the estate towards a welcoming activity, subject to the necessary permits and any adjustments specific to the future buyer's project. Outside, a covered terrace invites you to fully enjoy this green interlude, while an outbuilding fitted with sanitary facilities, currently used as a gym, a garage, a workshop, two wells, and a water reserve for irrigation complete the property. The estate also benefits from equipment designed to ensure comfort and serenity on a daily basis: central heating by two oil boilers associated with four air/air modules, a backup generator that takes over in case of a power cut, two independent fiber connections, and a video surveillance system. A cellar, a boiler room, and several storage spaces are also present in the basement. But the true uniqueness of Beauregard lies neither in its 677 m² nor in its 21 rooms: it resides in the feeling of space, calm, and possibilities that the property provides once on site. A large family home, a guest house, a charming hotel, a gastronomic project, a reception venue, or a space intended to host seminars and events: its configuration, volumes, and the improvements already made for hosting the public give it particularly interesting potential to bring ambitious projects to life. Therefore, the Château de Beauregard is aimed at those who are not simply looking for a property with character, but a place capable of carrying a true project of life or activity. Some homes can be understood on paper, this one deserves to be discovered behind its walls.This description has been automatically translated from French.

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.

Located in the Jura region, less than 15 minutes from the A39 motorway and a TGV station, this superb 15th-century château was renovated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This property offers considerable potential given its layout, surroundings, and the space it provides through its numerous outbuildings. The château, of manageable size, is equally suitable as a primary or secondary residence, or for a bed and breakfast project. Its size, interior layout, and magnificent attic can accommodate 7 to 8 luxury bedrooms, in addition to a private area for the owners. Beneath the château are magnificent vaulted cellars, but above all, a fully equipped and renovated space (over 1000 m²) ideal for an event and/or restaurant business. A second property, formerly a mill and more recently a restaurant, adjoins the château and is already operational; this property could also be used to create additional bedrooms. A six-room gatehouse marks the entrance to the château, along with outbuildings and garages. This superb property boasts a swimming pool with a pool house. A stream with its canal and a crystal-clear pond complete the picture. All this on over 7 hectares. This is a real opportunity for tourism-related projects (bed and breakfast, weddings, family reunions). There is also the possibility of adding a wine-growing operation (AOC-classified region). A rare, even unique, property in Franche-Comté.
