luxury farmhouses for sale Franche Comté, France

At the foot of the Jura foothills, in a town steeped in history, an 18th-century stone barn has been transformed into a gîte. 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 gîte is oriented east-west and the main house north-south, with a total ground footprint of approximately 350 m² for both constructions, separated by a small courtyard. This ensemble, situated in the historic heart of the town of Saint-Amour, is 1 minute from the Celestial Annunciades, an emblematic former convent of the town, founded in 1621. Rising two levels, the gîte 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 arch windows framed with cut stones, has been completely renovated integrating all the attributes of a modern gîte into an ancient architecture full of character. Sharing with the gîte the adjoining courtyard, which also serves a vaulted cellar, the residential building, rising three levels, has only been partially renovated, with its ground floor remaining to be developed. It should be noted that heating is electric with the addition of a wood stove and another pellet stove in the convivial spaces forming the dining room and the living room.This description has been automatically translated from French.

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.
