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.

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. A home where living, entertaining and welcoming guests flow seamlessly into one another.

A chateau from the 16th and 18th centuries, with its outbuildings, surrounded by 20 hectares of pastures and a pond, in the countryside of the Ognon River valley, not far from Besançon. Accessible via a country lane, an immense wrought-iron gate flanked by two stone columns opens on to the secluded property and its front courtyard around which the buildings – a chateau, a caretaker’s cottage and an immense 16th-century tower – are grouped together in a U shape. Next door, former stone farm buildings create a second enclosed courtyard with a separate entrance, while the chateau’s main façade, looking southward towards the grounds, is made up of a long symmetrical central building flanked by two turrets. As for the property, it is bordered to the south by the Ognon River and to the west by a 3-hectare pond, whereas, the chateau itself has undergone significant renovations in recent years, both in terms of its structural works as well as its finishing details, which could be continued depending on the next occupant’s plans for the premises.

MANOR HOUSE IN A WOODED PARK IN BESANÇON Just a few minutes from the centre of Besançon, Le Clos Saint-Paul evokes a unique atmosphere: that of a grand residence set back within its landscape, whilst remaining closely linked to the city. Built in 1771, this stately home covers approximately 590 m² within a 1.5-hectare enclosed park, dotted with century-old trees and opening out onto the forest. Behind its stone façades, the spacious rooms offer comfort and privacy. Light floods into the reception rooms, whilst parquet flooring, marble, a bespoke bookcase and large windows preserve the elegance of a historic architectural style that has been reinterpreted over time. A heated swimming pool, outbuildings and a detached house round off the possibilities offered by this estate with its many potential uses. A HISTORIC RESIDENCE BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE FOREST You must take the Chemin du Fort Benoît and gradually leave the urban rhythm behind to truly appreciate Le Clos Saint-Paul. Here, Besançon remains close by, whilst the landscape is already taking on a different character. Walls, hedges and tall trees outline the boundaries of a 1.5-hectare estate, bordering the forest. Amidst this lush greenery, the house comes into view. Built in 1771 from stone, then extensively restructured in 1961, it retains that distinctive presence characteristic of old houses whose proportions have stood the test of time. Its exposed stone façades, its openings and certain windows with an almost British feel give it the silhouette of a manor house, sitting naturally within its grounds. The flat, fully enclosed plot complements the house in every respect. Mornings invite you to take a stroll beneath the trees; later in the day, the south-facing stone terrace becomes an extension of the living areas. Just a few steps away, the 10-by-5-metre heated outdoor swimming pool creates another, more summery setting, opening out onto the garden. HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE BATHE IN LIGHT Inside, the 590 m² of living space is spread over two levels. The sense of space is immediately apparent: high ceilings, generous views and abundant light give the rooms a spaciousness particularly suited to family life and entertaining. The living room, measuring approximately 50 m², enjoys a south-west facing aspect. The materials tell the story of the house's different eras: solid or contemporary parquet flooring, marble, stretched fabrics and a bespoke bookcase combine to create an atmosphere where the old dialogues with more recent additions. The Poggenpohl kitchen has a contemporary design. Marble worktops, a large central island and a dining area make it a living space in its own right, extended by a utility room. The property currently comprises five bedrooms, with the potential to create up to seven, including a spacious suite with an en-suite bathroom. This layout offers great flexibility: a family home spanning several generations, a place to welcome loved ones for the long term, or a residence designed to combine private life with entertaining. A PROPERTY WITH MANY POSSIBILITIES Le Clos Saint-Paul also stands out for what surrounds the main house. A detached house of approximately 110 m², arranged as a duplex within an outbuilding, provides a space for family, friends or guests to stay in their own quarters. A barn of approximately 240 m² and attic spaces of approximately 250 m², partially converted, further expand the possibilities. The estate also offers, as an option, equestrian facilities, with existing structures suitable for keeping horses; a stud farm situated on the same property could be considered as a further addition. This versatility gives the place a unique depth. One can envisage a large family home where everyone has their own space, a heritage property destined to be passed down through the generations, but also a hospitality venture where the main building and outbuildings would take on a new function. The town remains within easy reach. Shops are just a few minutes' walk away, Besançon-Viotte station is about ten minutes' drive away, and the A36 motorway towards Marchaux is approximately fifteen minutes' drive away. Le Clos Saint-Paul thus strikes a rare balance between two rhythms: that of a park, with its trees and the neighbouring forest; and that of a town which one encounters almost as soon as one passes through the gate. THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE ?What struck me first was the scale of the estate and the way the house stands at the heart of its grounds. Once inside, it is the spaciousness and the light that take centre stage. The large windows, with their subtle British flair, give the house the air of a manor house and play a key part in its character. There is a real sense of serenity here. It's easy to imagine morning walks beneath the trees, followed by a return to this spacious home. In Besançon, I know of few places that combine such an expansive estate, such distinctive architecture and such close proximity to the city. I

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.

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. A PLACE TO LIVE, ENTERTAIN, AND GROW The uniqueness of this property lies as much in its location as in its layout. 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.

Perched upon the most coveted heights of Besançon, where the slopes of Bregille embrace the horizon, stands a property that defies the standards of prestige real estate. This is not merely a residence; it is a landscape and architectural masterpiece meticulously shaped over forty years by passionate owners. Awarded the prestigious "Jardin Remarquable" label in 2023, this confidential address offers arguably the most breathtaking perspective of the city and the Vauban Citadel, placing every moment of life within an exceptional historical and natural panorama. Behind the gates, discretion gives way to a singular domain?a true collection of spaces and emotions where the sense of escape is absolute. The main house reveals itself through a luminous veranda, serving as a majestic entrance and a seamless transition from the outdoors. From the very first steps, the volumes open into a living and dining area where light flows without obstacle. Large windows transform the rooftops of Besançon and the fortress into a living painting, particularly striking during sunsets that set the surrounding cliffs ablaze. The kitchen, both functional and elegant, integrates perfectly into this fluid layout, designed for daily life and high-end entertaining alike. The ground floor also hosts a primary bedroom with a dressing room, leading to a practical laundry area. Upstairs, the landing opens to three bright bedrooms and a bathroom, offering each occupant a unique vantage point over the estate. Just a few steps away, a second independent building completes the ensemble. A true sanctuary of serenity, this outbuilding houses a guest suite and an exclusive wellness area featuring a spa and sauna. Here, floor-to-ceiling windows frame the city, turning every relaxation ritual into a contemplative experience. The outdoor spaces are the true soul of this atypical property. Designed as a succession of destinations, the gardens unfold across terraces with distinct identities. You will discover a convivial "guinguette" area centered around an authentic Finnish kota with its central hearth?ideal for sharing moments by the fire. Further on, a solid log cabin (fuste) and its suspended terrace invite total disconnection, akin to a luxury cabin perched above the valley. Peace reigns supreme beneath a century-old wisteria, where a pond filled with koi carp offers a meditative spectacle to the sound of trickling water. The mind then wanders toward a Bali-inspired zone, where bamboo thickets and an outdoor daybed transport visitors to the other side of the world. For grand gatherings, a vast reception terrace features a large table, an outdoor bar, and a traditional bread oven. The swimming pool, nestled in a lush setting completely shielded from view, is accompanied by a wooden deck, perfect for extending summer days in a private resort atmosphere. Within immediate proximity to city amenities yet protected by its dominant position, this property is an invitation to own a piece of Besançon's history. Its perfect harmony between botanical composition and modern comfort makes it an unparalleled opportunity for lovers of unique homes filled with poetry and exclusivity.

DUPLEX APARTMENT ABOVE THE ROOFS OF BESANÇON Located in the heart of Besançon's historic centre, this duplex is set within a period building. It has been completely redesigned by its architect. The redesign prioritises light, spaciousness and generous living areas, offering beautiful views. Every element has been crafted by skilled tradespeople using high-quality materials, with a focus on harmony to create a cohesive whole. The windows frame views of hundreds of Comtois rooftops, notably Vauban's citadel and the River Doubs. The two south-facing open terraces extend the space outwards and complement this architectural style. This duplex apartment in Besançon embodies an approach where design, spaciousness, light and practicality come together. A HOLISTIC DESIGN DRIVEN BY DETAIL The apartment was designed as a coherent whole, conceived from the outset in terms of its volumes, circulation and materials. The living area is organised around a largely open central space, where light flows freely through the floor-to-ceiling windows and roof openings. The Greek white Calacatta marble flooring complements this pursuit of light and continuity, with a soft, mineral presence. Upon entering, a stained-glass window handcrafted in a workshop in Chartres introduces a palette of graduated blues. Prominently displayed, a staircase?a unique piece?rises to provide access to the mezzanine. Created by designer Roger Tallon, a leading figure in French industrial design, it unfolds its helical form. The bubbled crystal light fittings by Raak cast a focused, vibrant light thanks to touch-sensitive controls that adjust the lighting. Textiles by Clara Lander lend a softer, more subdued feel. The mezzanine, meanwhile, extends the spaces and supports their various uses, with a direct connection to the outdoor areas. THE TERRACES AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT Usually rare in city centres, these terraces here extend the interior spaces. Meticulously designed, they incorporate irrigation, lighting, power sockets and evergreen vegetation that gives structure to the space throughout the year. They become a living space in their own right, combining cooking, relaxation and everyday activities. Set within the roof structure, they sit set back whilst offering unobstructed views of the city: the quays, the Tour de la Pelote, the Church of La Madeleine, the Citadel and the museum all feature in the landscape. Access is direct from the mezzanine, creating a seamless flow. Two steps connect the terraces, without interrupting the flow of movement. The lines remain understated, the floors mineral, the vegetation discreet. Together, they form a structured outdoor space that is easy to live in. Here, one can dine, garden, or simply relax at different times of the day. An integrated outdoor space, in tune with the rhythm of the city. A LOCATION ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF BESANÇON Located on Quai Vauban, the apartment is part of an iconic architectural complex. The River Doubs, the aligned and listed façades, and the proximity to cultural institutions all contribute to the identity of the location. The neighbourhood supports a fluid daily rhythm, with shops, schools and amenities within walking distance. The Citadel and the historic fabric place the development within a heritage context. This address strikes a balance between urban presence and an elevated position, offering a different perspective on Besançon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. AGENCY'S OPINION This property is part of a holistic design approach, where every element finds its place within a coherent whole. The signatures of designers and craftsmen, the use of materials and the relationship with the outdoors create a lived-in, precise and unique space. The terraces extend this connection with the city.
