luxury farmhouses for sale Franche Comté, France

Two farmhouses from the 18th and 19th centuries and a converted bakehouse, between the towns of Luxeuil-les-Bains and Le Val-d'Ajol in France’s beautiful Vosges Saônoises area. A driveway leads from a country lane in the hamlet to a central court surrounded by the property's three buildings: two former farmhouses, which date back to 1764 and 1834 respectively, and a former bakehouse, which has been converted into a dwelling. The elevations are made of grey and red sandstone. Ashlar forms the door and window surrounds. The small-paned windows have wooden frames and double glazing. The gable roofs are covered with interlocking tiles. The biggest farmhouse is undergoing renovation work that needs to be finished. It offers seven main rooms and has a 330m² floor area and a large garage. The second farmhouse has three main rooms, including two bedrooms. It has a 97m² floor area. The bakehouse has been converted into a 70m² dwelling. It has three main rooms, including two bedrooms in the roof space. Most of the ground floors in the buildings are covered with sandstone slabs. A second garage, made of timber, lies at the south end of the property, alongside the second farmhouse. A tree-dotted garden extends in the northern part of the grounds, covering around 8,000m².

At the foot of the Jura foothills, in a town rich in history, a 18th-century stone barn transformed into a guesthouse. The two buildings that make up "Les grangettes de Saint-Amour," located in the heart of the town of the same name, were built in 1750. The guesthouse is oriented east-west and the main dwelling north-south, with a total footprint of about 350 m² for the two constructions, separated by a small courtyard. This ensemble, located in the historic heart of the city of Saint-Amour, is just 1 minute from the Annonciades célestes, an iconic former convent founded in 1621. Rising two levels, the guesthouse reaches a living area of nearly 400 m². A parking area has been cleared in front of its entrance, as well as a barbecue space to enhance stays on-site. Acquired in 2021 by the current occupants, this former barn, with a façade of jointed rubble and straight or basket-handle openings framed by dressed stone, has been completely renovated, integrating all the attributes of a modern guesthouse into a characterful ancient architecture. Sharing with the guesthouse the adjoining courtyard, which also serves a vaulted cellar, the residential building, rising three levels, has been partially renovated, with its ground floor remaining to be developed. It is worth noting that heating is electric, supplemented by a wood stove and another pellet stove in the cozy areas formed by the dining room and living room.This description has been automatically translated from French.
