Former outbuildings of the medieval castle, this property complex draws an elegant U-shaped plan open on a courtyard.

RENOVATED 18TH-CENTURY MILL, IN RIOZ On the outskirts of the small town of Rioz, set back from the centre in a preserved setting, this 18th-century mill is nestled within a landscape shaped by water and light. The living area rises above the inlet channel and the axis of the old wheel, now encased in glass, whilst the colourful spaces flow seamlessly across three levels. Outside, the grounds, traversed by the river, naturally extend this sensitive relationship with the local landscape. AN INTERIOR INSPIRED BY THE MILL'S HISTORY In Rioz, this mill, restored between 2013 and 2023, finds its balance in an environment shaped by the movement of water. The river runs alongside the property, crosses it and immediately reveals its structure, like a defining line around which the whole complex is organised. The ground floor accommodates the essential functions with precision, including the garage, laundry room, boiler room and technical areas, as well as the mill machinery directly connected to the supply canal, which has now been brought up to standard. The water rights, legally established, anchor the site in a rare continuity, hinting at the possibility of setting the wheel in motion once more. Upon entering, the spaciousness of the hall invites a moment of respite. A room now dedicated to sport fits discreetly within this space, whilst a staircase with a bold design leads naturally to the upper floors. A MODULAR INTERIOR FOR EVERYONE On the main floor, the layout is clearly organised around a central mezzanine. The living areas are situated on one side, open and airy, whilst the sleeping quarters are on the other, in a more intimate atmosphere. The living area, spanning over eighty square metres, forms a fluid sequence linking the kitchen, dining room, lounge and office space. The three-sided fireplace forms its heart, radiating a warm presence that extends out onto the south-facing terrace. Below, the axis of the old wheel, preserved under glass, imbues daily life with a unique depth, bridging memory and contemporary use. Three bedrooms are situated on this level, in the sleeping area, accompanied by a dressing room, a bathroom and a toilet, in a balanced layout. The top floor, fitted out in 2022, extends this concept with two additional bedrooms and their en-suite bathroom, offering a layout suited to multiple uses. Family, guests or plans to host visitors find a natural place here, in a house designed to evolve with its occupants. BETWEEN LANDSCAPE AND FUNCTION The 5,848 m² plot unfolds around the mill in a composition where nature becomes an integral part of the living experience. The river runs through the property, flows towards a pond and shapes ever-changing views. Light accompanies every moment of the day, revealing in turn the materials, reflections and lines of the building. In keeping with this, the outdoor spaces extend the home's functionality. The steel-trough roof accommodates 240 m² of photovoltaic panels, whose output forms part of daily life whilst generating a significant annual income from the resale of electricity. Thermal comfort is provided by an Atlantic air-to-water heat pump, supplemented by reversible air conditioning on the top floor. In the immediate vicinity, Rioz offers a comprehensive living environment with shops, schools from nursery to secondary level, a medical centre and a leisure park; whilst Besançon, its TGV station and Vesoul remain accessible in under twenty-five minutes, placing the property in a location that is as practical as it is inspiring. AGENCY'S OPINION This mill asserts a unique identity, enhanced by the constant presence of water and a renovation carried out with consistency. The axis of the wheel visible beneath the living area, the layout across several levels and the five bedrooms open the way to varied uses, in tune with different lifestyles. The technical choices?from the water rights to the energy systems and recent upgrades?contribute to a well-managed whole, the quality of which is reflected in particularly low day-to-day running costs.

ART DECO ELEGANCE IN THE HEART OF AN URBAN GARDEN 1930S ART DECO HOUSE IN THE CENTRE OF VESOUL Some houses tell the story of an era with rare accuracy. This residence, built in 1930, is one of them. Its architecture bears the signature of architect Paul Giroud, a leading figure in regional architecture between the two world wars. Even today, it reveals the elegant rigour and clean lines characteristic of this period. Behind its structured façade, the rooms are harmoniously arranged. The old parquet floors complement the light Comblanchien stone, while the cherry and ash wood panelling creates a warm and refined atmosphere. Light floods through the rooms thanks to the large windows that punctuate the façades and accompany the volumes throughout the day. The wooded garden, vast and unexpected in the heart of the city, gives the property an almost private feel. In this sought-after residential environment, the property combines architecture, history and potential for development. A home for lovers of living heritage who appreciate the beauty of 20th-century architecture. AN INTERIOR IMPRINTED WITH THE ELEGANCE OF THE 1930S Behind its stone façade, the house reveals an interior where Art Deco architecture is expressed with consistency and precision. Built in 1930 by architect Paul Giroud, a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and an active figure in regional architecture between the wars, the residence retains many characteristics of this period. The antique parquet floors feature delicate patterns, while the light Comblanchien stone elegantly highlights the circulation areas. Cherry and ash wood panelling adorns the walls and some of the built-in storage units, adding depth and warmth to the living spaces. The high ceilings and ironwork details are testament to the craftsmanship that gives the whole property a timeless atmosphere. Light flows freely thanks to the numerous windows that accompany the volumes and highlight the materials. The reception rooms are organised around a large living room where the generous proportions create an immediate feeling of space and fluidity. The Art Deco staircase, punctuated by an elegant wrought iron banister, is one of the most striking features of the house and structures the flow between the different levels. The clear and balanced interior layout allows for different ways of living in the space. It meets the needs of family life as well as a project combining home and professional activity. THE GARDEN, A RARE BREATH OF FRESH AIR IN THE HEART OF THE CITY At the rear of the property, the grounds feature a large wooded area, which is particularly rare for a house located in the centre of Vesoul. The century-old trees form a dense canopy that preserves the privacy of the property while allowing light to filter through. The open views offer an unexpected feeling of space in an urban environment. Throughout the seasons, the garden reveals different atmospheres. The first blooms accompany the return of sunny days and naturally extend the living spaces outdoors. Summer invites you to enjoy the light shade of the tall trees, while autumn highlights the lines of the house with golden hues. The terrace facing the garden then becomes a privileged place for shared moments or moments of calm. The property also stands out for its approximately 200-square-metre outbuilding, which houses an indoor swimming pool. Built in the 1970s by architect André Maisonnier, a former collaborator of Le Corbusier's studio, this construction introduces an unexpected dialogue between modern architecture and Art Deco heritage. The pool, accompanied by relaxation and service areas, opens up new possibilities for use and harmoniously completes the ensemble. VESOUL, BETWEEN URBAN HERITAGE AND NATURAL LANDSCAPES Located in the heart of Vesoul, the house benefits from a lively and pleasant urban environment. Shops, schools and everyday services are part of an accessible and vibrant urban fabric. This proximity enhances the residential quality of the property while allowing you to fully enjoy the pace and conviviality of the town centre. Vesoul has a rich history and an architectural heritage marked by different periods that today shape its identity. The old streets, characterful façades and lively squares make up an urban landscape where tradition dialogues with contemporary life. On the outskirts of the city, the natural landscapes offer many opportunities for escape. Lake Vaivre is a popular spot for water sports and walks, while the hills of the Cita plateau and the unspoilt areas of the Sabot de Frotey nature reserve bear witness to the environmental richness of the region. The region is also distinguished by the presence of major architectural sites, including the Ronchamp Chapel, an iconic work by Le Corbusier. Between city and nature, Vesoul offers a balanced living environment where heritage, culture and landscapes come together in harmony. AGENCY'S OPINION This 1930s Art Deco house sta

Restored to the highest standards over the past few years, it now exudes a gentle, timeless atmosphere, where every material seems to have found its natural place. The renovated façade, the triple-glazed aluminum-wood windows, and the stone walls encircling the grounds come together to form a deeply preserved ensemble. Sheltered from view and in the shadow of the neighboring château, the wooded park unfolds its verdant vistas in an almost suspended silence. OPEN SPACES DESIGNED FOR SEASONAL COMFORT The fully open ground floor allows light to flow between the high-end kitchen and the living area centered around the fireplace. The Chassagne stone flooring adds its mineral texture and enhances the immediate sense of comfort and permanence.

ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF VESOUL, A FORMER MILL BETWEEN THE RIVER AND THE COUNTRYSIDE Just a few minutes from Vesoul, Le Puits du Moulin tells a story that began in the 18th century, set in a landscape where water still frames every view. Behind its stone facades, this approximately 440 m² property offers a spacious home, designed as much for family life as for entertaining guests. Seven bedrooms, beautiful reception areas, a veranda overlooking the garden, and an established bed-and-breakfast business are all set within an estate spanning more than 1.5 hectares. An orchard, a vegetable garden, pastures, a swimming pool, and terraces extend the home all the way to the banks of the Durgeon River. AN OLD MILL IN TUNE WITH THE DURGEON You must travel through the countryside to the outskirts of Vesoul to discover the Puits du Moulin. An 18th-century residence nestled in a landscape of water and greenery, it possesses that special aura found in homes whose history was written long before our time. The Durgeon River runs alongside the property. Its flow sets the pace for the estate, complements the gardens, and serves as a reminder of the site's original purpose. Once a mill that was converted into a restaurant in the 1990s, the building began a new chapter in 2011, when its owners undertook to restore it and transform it into a bed-and-breakfast. Today, the stonework, exposed beams, and historic spaces harmonize with more contemporary touches. Successive renovations have accompanied the house over the years: kitchens, bathrooms, woodwork, paint, and, more recently, the pool have been redesigned with care to preserve the spirit of the place. Spanning approximately 440 m², the spaces offer a particularly appealing flexibility of use. Here, the house can continue to welcome guests while also fully reclaiming its role as a family home. A HOME MADE FOR LIVING AND HOSTING The section dedicated to the guest rooms has a life of its own. Upon entering, a reception area with a bar sets a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The first guest room, measuring 21 m², features its own shower room and private bathroom facilities. The dining room, air-conditioned and heated by a Godin stove, naturally extends the time spent around the table. A semi-professional kitchen, a laundry room, and several preparation and storage areas discreetly support daily activities. Upstairs, three bedrooms?each extended by a mezzanine?can each accommodate four guests and feature their own shower rooms with separate restrooms. The existing layout thus accommodates twelve people in four bedrooms and also lends itself to a different interpretation of the spaces, particularly as a vacation rental. The private area fosters a more intimate atmosphere. A staircase of wood and wrought iron leads to the fully equipped Schmidt kitchen, the living-dining room, and the bedrooms. An additional room can serve as an office or bedroom depending on needs. The master suite combines an air-conditioned bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom with a shower and bathtub. Another bedroom also has its own private bathroom. Next is the veranda, about twenty square meters in size, which opens widely onto the garden. Light floods in generously, and the changing seasons become part of the scenery. Three wood-burning stoves supplement the oil-fired heating system, while a reversible air-conditioning system serves several rooms in the house. A HECTARE AND A HALF TO EXTEND YOUR DAYS OUTDOORS Surrounding the house, 15,641 m² create a true estate. The terraces?including two sheltered areas?offer a variety of ways to enjoy the outdoors: having lunch in the shade near the house, heading to the pool in the afternoon, extending an evening around the large brick barbecue, or simply watching the light change across the garden. The pool is an integral part of this setting. Renovated in 2024, it features a manually operated dome. Further on, the property transitions into an orchard, vegetable garden, pasture, and wooded garden. A greenhouse, a woodshed, a well, a pond, and a rainwater collection system complement this outdoor lifestyle. There is also room for a few horses in the pastures. The nearby bike path offers another way to explore the surrounding countryside. Vesoul and its amenities are just five minutes away, while the train station provides access to major rail lines. This proximity gives the mill a unique balance: the countryside remains ever-present, yet the town is immediately accessible. The bed-and-breakfast, open year-round and now complemented by a table d'hôtes, already offers a glimpse into one of the many possible ways to enjoy the property. Its spacious layout suggests other possibilities: a large multigenerational home, a country residence, a place to gather family and friends, or a project combining living space with hospitality. THE ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE ?I love Le Puits du Moulin for its balance of character, nature, and potential. It's easy to imagine it as either a l
