THE BAILIFF'S HOUSE IN ETRABONNE: AN ODE TO HISTORY In the picturesque village of Etrabonne, 30km from Besançon and Dole, 25km from the TGV station and 2 hours from Basel airport, nestled in the heart of a landscape of timeless beauty, stands the majestic Bailiff's House. A testament to a rich past and remarkable architecture. A HISTORIC JEWEL Built in the 15th century, the Bailiff's House, a former courthouse, elegantly evokes the golden age of rural architecture. This iconic residence is the result of meticulous restoration, preserving its authentic character and period charm. Numerous press articles and various sketches attest to the renown of this property. The 15th and 16th-century buildings are flanked by two turrets whose stone slab roofs have been restored, a project that took the owners over two years. AN IMMORTAL HERITAGE Dating back more than five centuries, the history of this residence reveals fascinating chapters. On October 24, 1636, the Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Good, granted Guillaume III d'Etrabonne the right of Bailiff in recognition of his services. Thus, the Bailiff's House became a symbol of the administration of law, reason, and justice in the region. Despite the ravages of time, this residence has survived, bearing witness to its resilience and grandeur through the ages. A PRESTIGIOUS SETTING Inside, everything is steeped in tradition and authenticity; every detail reveals a timeless elegance, including a remarkable fireplace dating from 1634 that stands majestically in the living room and will warm your long winter evenings. Antique terracotta tiles, handcrafted and imported directly from a Loire Valley château, lend a rustic and inviting feel to the floors of this centuries-old building. The ceilings are equally impressive, having been entirely renovated in the traditional French style in the more recent rooms. The vaulted ceilings, a true vestige of the past, have been preserved and restored. Their design features massive oak beams forming the framework, while the spaces between them are filled with lime mortar and dressed stone. This ceiling design is virtually unique in the region. A well supplies the house with water year-round, a reminder of the region's ancestral traditions where each household was self-sufficient in water. With 300 sqm of living space and a total floor area of 802 sqm, this residence boasts impressive architecture, comprising 12 living rooms and 4 bedrooms, including two master suites. In the past, banquets were held daily in the reception room, which remains a centerpiece of the house for entertaining family and friends. Three bathrooms complete this ensemble, offering absolute comfort to its distinguished guests. La Maison du Bailly embodies an incomparable art of living, harmonizing contemporary comfort with historical authenticity. AN AUTHENTIC ART OF LIVING For wine lovers, La Maison du Bailly holds an additional surprise with its two vaulted cellars, one of which, measuring 70sqm, is regularly rented by local winemakers for tastings. A rare privilege, allowing guests to savor the flavors of the terroir in an authentic and convivial setting. A HAVEN OF NATURE Spanning over 3 hectares of fenced, non-building land, the property offers an enchanting setting where the murmur of a stream mingles with the majesty of centuries-old ash trees.
