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

RENOVATED OLD FARMHOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF ORNANS In the heart of the Ornans region, this old farmhouse dating from 1734 showcases a renovation that respects its original character. Behind its stone walls, generous rooms, open spaces, and natural materials come together to create a home where you can rediscover the joys of country living. The separate apartment, outbuildings, and potential for expansion open the door to numerous possibilities, ranging from a family home to a vacation home or a guesthouse. THE AUTHENTICITY OF A COMTOISE FARM, REVISITED Just a few minutes from Ornans, Chassagne-Saint-Denis embodies the gentle charm characteristic of the villages on the first plateau. Tucked away at the end of a discreet cul-de-sac, this former farmhouse, built in 1734, blends seamlessly into the landscape. The renovation has preserved the soul of the place. The exposed stone walls evoke the building's history, while the open, airy spaces offer a more contemporary interpretation of the layout. The living room features high ceilings, extended by a mezzanine that channels light into the heart of the home. The fireplace and authentic materials create a warm atmosphere where every moment becomes an immersive experience. The 192 m² of living space includes four bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor, two bathrooms, and two kitchens, allowing for a variety of lifestyles?whether for family life or extended stays. SPACES THAT INVITE YOU TO IMAGINE NEW PROJECTS This property also stands out for everything it offers beyond the main residence. The adjoining barn, workshop, wine cellar, garage, and nearly 100 m² of convertible attic space present significant potential for future development. The existing spaces allow for both expanding the living area and creating new spaces dedicated to leisure or a business venture. The separate two-bedroom apartment serves as a natural extension of the property. It currently accommodates family and friends with complete independence and also opens up the possibility of operating it as a vacation rental?a particularly fitting option in this region, which is sought after for its landscapes, heritage, and quality of life. Each outbuilding thus contributes to the richness of the property without ever detracting from its character. A LIFE CENTERED ON NATURE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF ORNANS Outside, the 1,389 m² landscaped garden extends the home. The spacious stone terrace is perfect for sunny days and offers an ideal setting for sharing meals or simply enjoying the tranquility of the countryside. The surroundings thus add to the property's charm. Here, the landscapes of the Ornans region offer a succession of valleys, forests, and charming villages, while local shops are just a few minutes away. Besançon, its TGV station, and major transportation routes provide easy access to this secluded retreat. This renovated former farmhouse is equally suited to serving as a primary residence or as a country home for weekend getaways. Its separate apartment and outbuildings also make it well-suited for a tourism venture or as a family heirloom to be passed down through the generations. THE AGENCY'S OPINION Some homes captivate with their architecture. Others with their atmosphere. This one combines both with rare ease. Behind its stone facade, it offers a nature-oriented lifestyle, generous living spaces, and genuine potential for expansion thanks to its outbuildings and separate apartment. A property full of character, in the heart of the Ornans region, where each season creates a new backdrop.
