luxury house with terrace for sale Vittel, France

Nestled in the Vosges countryside between Épinal and Vittel, this fully restored traditional Lorraine farmhouse blends original stonework with a contemporary timber extension. Currently classified as a 4-star holiday rental, this rare property is equally suited as a character-filled primary residence, a spacious family home, or a venue for a hospitality business. The property opens into an exceptional living area featuring a soaring 7-meter-high "cathedral" ceiling with exposed beams and a cozy stove, extending into a second, more intimate lounge. The fully equipped kitchen, open to the dining room, shares this welcoming, sociable atmosphere. A mezzanine overlooks this open-plan space and leads to six or seven bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom; these bathrooms feature contemporary lines and high-quality materials, reflecting the same meticulous attention to detail found throughout the home. Total living area is approximately 250 m². Outside, the property exudes a holiday resort feel: a heated pool, Jacuzzi, summer kitchen with plancha grill, multiple terraces, and a sheltered patio are set within a private, enclosed garden of 1,880 m² planted with mature trees and completely free from overlooking neighbors. It is a haven designed for relaxation and entertaining in total privacy. The property enjoys a setting of absolute tranquility in Begnécourt, in the Madon Valley. Mirecourt—an international center for violin making—is just fifteen minutes away, offering shops, schools, and services, as do the nearby towns of Dompaire and Vittel (the latter famous for its thermal baths and two golf courses). Épinal, the administrative center of the Vosges, is about twenty minutes away; its train station offers a direct TGV link to Paris (approx. 2 hours 20 minutes), and the Épinal-Mirecourt airport is also close by. Nancy and its cultural offerings are accessible within an hour. The lakes and peaks of the Vosges massif—ideal for both hiking and skiing—further enhance the region's appeal.

In the village of Les Thons, this former convent, founded in 1452, stands proudly in the heart of the rolling Vosges countryside. The property offered for sale occupies the central portion of this distinctive complex. Behind its façade, designated a Historic Monument, the spaces unfold amidst ancient stonework, vast vaults, soaring ceilings, carved staircases, and a well-preserved cloister. Imbued with a rustic Renaissance atmosphere, the site now serves as a distinctive residence designed to welcome guests, preserve its heritage, and envision new uses. THE CENTRAL BUILDING OF A FRANCISCAN COMPLEX Set apart from major thoroughfares, the Couvent des Cordeliers in Les Thons stands out in the landscape as a monument to history. Founded in the 15th century at the request of Guillaume de Saint-Loup and Jeanne de Choiseul and designated a Historic Monument in 1945, it is now the best-preserved Franciscan complex in northeastern France. The eye is first drawn to the stone facades, the regularity of the ancient openings, and the simple lines of the cloister and its sacred fountain. Then come the details: a door weathered by time, the omnipresence of the vaults, a monumental fireplace, the depth of the walls, the antique woodwork and beams, and the ?cathedral' staircase. Each space seems to have retained the rhythm of the centuries. From the tree-lined garden and the orchard, views open up onto the village's historic center and the surrounding countryside. Further on, the paths lead to the Vosges forests, the spa towns of Vittel and Contrexéville, and the Renaissance gardens of Châtillon-sur-Saône. SPACES FILLED WITH LIGHT AND NATURAL MATERIALS The interior spans nearly 400 m² in a warm and deeply authentic design. The main living area, spanning nearly 80 m², harmonizes with the high ceilings, exposed beams, and open-plan layout featuring a mezzanine. Historic hardwood floors, terracotta tiles, moldings, restored doors, and various architectural details come together to create a vibrant space bathed in light. Some rooms still feature decorative paintings and art collections that extend the spirit of the place. The fully equipped professional kitchen is designed to accommodate both a generous daily lifestyle and larger gatherings. The vaulted cellars, the interior patio, and the adjoining spaces reinforce this sense of a lived-in and adaptable whole. Sold furnished and equipped, the property also includes several antique works of art and paintings that contribute to its unique character. A PROPERTY TO IMAGINE: A BLEND OF HERITAGE AND INSPIRING PROJECTS The central section of the convent spans over 3,300 m² of land, featuring an orchard, a natural spring, a pond, and open views. At the rear, a vast 2,360 m² plot offers various possibilities for future development while respecting the site's character. The site has already served as a residence and hosted events, receptions, and dining experiences. Its layout allows for new uses centered on hospitality, vacations, heritage preservation, or a unique second home. Located between Vittel, Épinal, and Langres, this property embodies a rare quality: that of a historic site still very much alive, capable of accommodating ambitious projects without ever losing its original spirit. THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE ?What you feel here goes beyond architecture alone. The Couvent des Cordeliers des Thons possesses that quiet depth unique to carefully preserved historic sites. A property shaped by time, designed for those seeking not only a home but also a story to carry forward.' Julie Rowlett-Ballon
