A FAMILY HOME WITH A SWIMMING POOL IN BESANÇON Just a few minutes from downtown Besançon, this architect-designed home sits on an enclosed lot of over 3,280 m², offering expansive views of the surrounding farmland. Its cathedral-ceilinged living room, five bedrooms, saltwater pool, and generous spaces create a living environment where space and light are an integral part of daily life. SPACES BATHE IN LIGHT The living room serves as the heart of the home. Spanning two stories and extended by a mezzanine, it enjoys natural light streaming through large floor-to-ceiling windows facing the garden. From the living areas, the view extends across the terrace, along the pool, and out to the neighboring fields. The separate kitchen, complete with a pantry, supports family life without breaking the connection to the living areas. A bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor allow for single-level living or for comfortably hosting loved ones. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms and a bathroom are arranged around the mezzanine, which maintains a constant visual connection with the living area. A GARDEN OPENING ONTO THE COUNTRYSIDE This property in Besançon offers a true sense of continuity with its surroundings. The 3,282 m² enclosed lot offers sweeping views of the surrounding farmland while maintaining true privacy. The spacious terrace naturally extends the living areas toward the 10 x 5-meter saltwater pool. The various outdoor spaces allow you to enjoy summer days with meals on the terrace, swimming, and more peaceful moments under the garden's trees. The immediate proximity to the Chailluz Forest enhances this quality of life. Hiking trails, mountain bike routes, and natural areas become an extension of the property, while schools, shops, and downtown Besançon remain within easy reach. A HOME THAT GROWS WITH YOUR FAMILY Built in 1995, the house has been regularly maintained and recently upgraded with modern amenities. An air-to-water heat pump, a wood-burning stove installed in 2024, a thermodynamic water heater, and a 6 kWp solar panel system all contribute to its daily comfort. The double garage with automatic doors, the basement, storage areas, the attic, and the partially converted loft offer significant potential for expansion to meet a family's needs over time. With nearly 200 m² of living space, five bedrooms, and areas that open widely onto the garden, this property meets the needs of both a large family and a remote worker or independent professional seeking to combine a peaceful living environment with proximity to Besançon. THE AGENCY'S OPINION This property stands out for a balance that has become hard to find on the Besançon market. On one hand, it features a vast, enclosed lot opening onto the countryside, a light-filled cathedral-ceilinged living room, and spacious rooms designed for family life. On the other hand, its location allows for quick access to downtown, schools, and major transportation routes. A place where you can enjoy a true breath of fresh air every day, without giving up the benefits of city life.

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.

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
