A listed medieval chateau, redesigned in the Renaissance, chapel, school and workshop, set in nearly 3 hectares of grounds, 40 minutes from Besançon. On the outskirts of the village, overlooking the fields, the chateau occupies a central position within the estate, on the site of a former 11th-century fortified castle that no longer exists. The south-western section consists of a tower and an entrance porch, where traces of the former 15th-century drawbridge are still visible. The courtyard facade was built in 1570 for Antoine d’Oiselay by the architect Hugues Sambin; both of whom were local figures. A major renovation project carried out in the early 19th century by the architect Marnotte on behalf of the de Magnoncourt family gave the complex its current layout, notably involving the raising of the roof and the creation of new interior fittings. The murals in the reception room date back to the 1980s and were painted by pupils at an art school. The building has an L-shaped layout, with a round medieval tower to the south-west and a square tower to the north-east. An outbuilding is situated to the north and is connected to it via a vestibule on the lower level. The building, comprising six storeys, includes a semi-basement housing cellars and the former kitchens, as well as an attic on the top floor. Built in the 1970s, the three-storey annexe was intended to be a school. Its converted loft houses a former cinema.

BETWEEN RIVER, SKY, AND EARTH Perched on the top floor of a contemporary residential building, this exceptional, fully air-conditioned rooftop apartment offers a rare living environment in the heart of Besançon. Spanning 140 m², the rooms are arranged around a remarkable master suite?a true hotel-style suite in terms of its spaciousness and amenities?which opens onto its own balcony. A terrace and a second balcony open up the other living areas to a completely unobstructed panoramic view. With no buildings directly across, natural light floods in generously while privacy remains complete. The quality of the materials and the attention to detail in the finishes attest to a particularly well-executed design. A REFINED SETTING WITH AN EXCLUSIVE DESIGN Designed in collaboration with an architect, the apartment reveals an interior where every detail contributes to the atmosphere of the space. The spacious layout and large windows create a constant interplay with light and the landscape. In the living areas, the oiled smoked oak parquet laid in a herringbone pattern adds depth and warmth. The living room is centered around a generously sized fireplace insert, while the sound system, home theater setup, lighting, and automated windows are discreetly integrated. The master suite is one of the apartment's signature features. Designed like a true hotel suite, it combines a spacious bedroom, a custom walk-in closet, a relaxation area with a Physiotherm infrared sauna, and a large balcony. Its bathroom features a whirlpool tub and a walk-in shower, all within an intimate setting entirely dedicated to well-being. The kitchen and pantry continue this high standard with their matte black lacquered cabinetry, glossy white countertops, and high-end appliances. The creation of an additional bedroom can be considered. AN OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE The outdoor spaces naturally extend the apartment. The main terrace opens wide onto the Doubs River and Besançon. From this commanding vantage point, the view is completely unobstructed, with no neighboring buildings to interrupt the line of sight. Its awning allows you to enjoy it to the fullest on sunny days. Two balconies complete the space, one of which directly extends from the master suite. The river, the Citadel, the rooftops, and the hills of Besançon create a landscape that shifts with the hours and seasons, with the city right at your doorstep. AN EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION IN THE HEART OF BESANÇON Situated on the banks of the Doubs River, this recently built residence enjoys a prime location, right next to downtown while retaining a peaceful atmosphere. Shops, restaurants, schools, services, and cultural amenities are all within easy reach. The banks of the Doubs, the Chamars promenade, and the nearby green spaces provide a breath of fresh air in everyday life. Excellent thermal and sound insulation, combined with full air conditioning, ensures remarkable comfort in every season. Secure access preserves residents' privacy. Finally, the presence of four garages is a particularly rare asset for such a central location. THE ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE What strikes me most here is the location. The tranquility, the lack of direct neighbors, and the completely unobstructed view go hand in hand with true comfort of living: everything is within walking distance. Even with comparable amenities, the same apartment located on the other side of Besançon wouldn't hold the same value in my eyes. I'm also very appreciative of the quality of the finishes and the harmony of the interior design. Here, the materials, color schemes, and details reflect an exceptional standard of craftsmanship. The comfort is equally remarkable. The elevator opens directly into the apartment, and the home automation system allows you to control the heating, air conditioning, alarm, lighting, blinds, and doors. The layout and use of space have also been designed to facilitate movement throughout the apartment while preserving privacy. It is this combination of location, design quality, and the level of finish that, for me, truly sets this apartment apart. Mathieu Ardenghi Condominiums of 198 units (No proceedings in progress).

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.

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 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.

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

MANOR HOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BESANÇON Just a few minutes from Besançon, this historic property reveals behind its walls a rare ensemble comprising a 19th-century mansion, a renovated guest house, and a second detached house waiting to be reimagined. Set within over two hectares of wooded grounds, the stone facades, gravel paths, and lush vegetation create a place filled with tranquility, light, and the promise of a legacy. A WALLED PROPERTY ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BESANÇON From the cul-de-sac, the property appears discreetly behind its gates and century-old trees. The property immediately evokes a sense of space rarely found in the Greater Besançon area, nestled between unspoiled countryside and quick access to shops, schools, and major thoroughfares. The main house, built in the late 19th century, stands alongside a fully renovated guest house and a second detached building currently used for storage. The layout of the estate allows for the possibility of an extended family life, spaces for entertaining, or additional uses over time. Surrounding the buildings, the landscaped grounds unfold with gentle slopes, hedges, mature trees, and views of the surrounding nature. A deeply residential setting, designed to be lived in as much as to be enjoyed. INTERIORS BLENDING OLD-WORLD ELEGANCE WITH MODERN COMFORT The main house offers approximately 190 m² spread over three levels. The spaces retain the spirit of old bourgeois mansions: high ceilings, moldings, wood paneling, wall niches, solid hardwood floors, and a wooden staircase connecting the floors. Light floods the reception rooms and living areas, which open onto the greenery and surrounding natural landscapes. The separate kitchen, centered around a central island and marble countertops, extends this atmosphere of a family home lived in day to day. The original materials interact with more contemporary elements that have been discreetly integrated. Geothermal heating, double-glazed aluminum window frames, and technical systems provide a modern take on comfort without altering the home's identity. In addition, the guest house features a separate space spread over two levels, while the garages, carports, cellars, and workshops offer a multitude of possibilities.

Few estates offer more than two hectares of private land just minutes from Besançon and the Auxons TGV station. The second detached house naturally opens the door to various projects: a family guesthouse, a professional space, a caretaker's home, or a future additional residence after renovation. The property maintains a sense of privacy without isolation, striking a particularly sought-after balance between urban life and the tranquility of nature. A property designed for those seeking more than just a house: a place to call home for the long term. AGENCY'S OPINION This property has a unique presence in the Besançon landscape. The grounds, the various buildings, and the architecture of the main house form a rare ensemble, capable of accommodating both a vibrant family life and a broader legacy project.

Haussmann-style apartment in Besançon Hidden from view at the back of an 18th-century mansion, this Haussmann-style apartment has a rare presence. Here, the city center feels intimate, almost hushed. The rooms are impressive without being overwhelming, the high ceilings set the tone, and the old parquet floors and fireplaces recall a time when architecture was as much about status as it was about lifestyle. Completely redesigned to meet contemporary needs, this space combines the restrained splendor of the past with the comfort of a high-quality renovation. An apartment with character, for those looking for more than just an address: a living experience. An interior shaped by history The apartment is organized as a series of living rooms, designed for both entertaining and privacy. The spacious and structured living areas offer a clear interpretation of the volumes, where each perspective finds its breathing space. The old floors, moldings, woodwork, and fireplaces interact with a contemporary, precise, and never ostentatious design. Natural light glides along the walls, highlighting architectural details and accompanying the rhythm of the day. Here, nothing is decorative by chance: each element contributes to a solemn yet warm atmosphere, where one can imagine both large gatherings and the calm of a chosen daily life. In the more intimate spaces, the bedrooms extend this feeling of seclusion and serenity. The flow of movement is fluid, designed for comfortable, uninterrupted living. The fully equipped kitchen has a modern, understated style that blends perfectly with the spirit of the place. A rare balance between heritage and practicality, without compromise. The backyard as a refuge Located at the back of the courtyard, the apartment enjoys a unique location: protected from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet anchored in its lively heart. This backyard, characteristic of Besançon's mansions, creates a precious distance from the street. Here, time is perceived differently, slower, more hushed. The views open onto the surrounding architecture and the Citadel, a discreet but constant reminder of the history of the place. Here, there is no spectacular garden, but a rare feeling of seclusion in the city center: that of living in a preserved space, originally designed to last. This location reinforces the feeling of exclusivity. The apartment does not reveal itself immediately; it is something to be discovered. This is a quality that has become precious, almost impossible to find, in a dense urban fabric. A world within reach Living here means embracing a demanding urban lifestyle.

The neighborhood offers a complete picture of the city: dynamic, rich in heritage, and deeply inhabited. Nearby, walks, cultural spaces, and places to live make for a fluid, unrestricted daily life. The Citadel, the quays, and the surrounding hills remind us that nature is never far away, even in the heart of the city. This area appeals to clients who are sensitive to history, architecture, and a certain idea of urban comfort: cultured, discreet, deeply rooted in its environment. The agency's opinion: This apartment perfectly embodies what we look for at Arrière-Cour: a confidential address, remarkable architecture, and a subtle balance between heritage and modernity. Its location in the rear courtyard of an 18th-century mansion makes it a rare find on the Besançon market. It is ideal for buyers looking for a property with character, steeped in history, but designed for a demanding contemporary lifestyle. A place of distinction, without ostentation. Condominiums of 30 units (No proceedings in progress). Annual expenses : 4500 euros.
