Enough to comfortably accommodate a large family, or to indulge in the luxury of a dedicated office, workshop, or guest room truly needed.

Two independent toilets complement the layout. Some bedrooms have received special attention in terms of decoration—painted murals, dark wood flooring, play of materials—each with its own personality, while maintaining the coherence of the whole.4. Comfort, controlled expensesHeating is provided by a heat pump that feeds the floors and produces hot water. Combined with double glazing and rolling shutters, it allows for a pleasant temperature all year round, without inflating the bills.

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.

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. Awarded the 'Remarkable Garden' label in 2023, the whole expresses a harmony between plant composition, topography and function. Vegetable patches, fruit trees and ornamental vines are part of this living dynamic. Each season redefines the contours of the site.

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.

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.

Mansion in Besançon Bourgeois lifestyle in a preserved green setting A stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of Besançon, hidden behind an old gate and high protective walls, this 18th-century mansion offers a unique living experience: that of a historic cottage in the heart of the city. Its weathered stone facade conceals a vast enclosed garden, a rare privilege in such close proximity to the city center, transforming this place into a true refuge for those who dream of privacy, nature, and authenticity. Originally a wine-growing farm before becoming a bourgeois residence, today it embodies a timeless art of living, that of a place shaped by generations, enriched by stories and human imprints. Its style evokes English cottages, where discreet charm blends with the sweetness of life. Antique woodwork, century-old parquet floors, period fireplaces, and a spiral staircase in fine wood tell a story that cannot be visited: it must be felt. Choosing this house is not just buying a property, it is embracing a philosophy of life, one of simple elegance, living heritage, and a daily life imbued with serenity. An interior steeped in history and character The house charms with its unique atmosphere: a subtle blend of authenticity, history, and modernity. Its 190 m² are spread over two levels and offer an ideal layout for family life. The spacious 60 m² living room, with its old wood and stone fireplaces, is perfect for large winter gatherings, convivial evenings, or quiet moments by the fire. The delightfully rustic kitchen follows the same principle of functional elegance: it does not try to seduce with contemporary pomp, but with the sincerity of its materials, its practicality, and its authenticity. A bedroom on the ground floor, rare for a house of this era, allows for single-story living, the creation of a cozy office, or the expansion of the kitchen. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms extend this atmosphere of gentleness and intimacy. The original woodwork, molded doors, and antique floors create a decor that is both noble and familiar. Each room seems to tell a story, that of a deeply lived-in place that has evolved with the times without ever betraying its soul. An exceptional garden in the heart of the city One of the major assets of this property is its exterior. A true haven of peace in the heart of the city, the walled garden covers more than 2,100 m², a space of absolute rarity in this area. Here, nature is omnipresent: mature trees, ancient hedges, gravel paths, sun-drenched terraces... Everything comes together to create a bucolic, almost country-like environment that contrasts beautifully with the immediate proximity of the city's services and entertainment. This flat, buildable land also offers tremendous potential: expansion of the house, creation of an outbuilding, swimming pool, development of an independent work or reception area, or even detachment of a plot to enhance the value of the property. A barn, vaulted cellars, and a workshop complete the property and add to its heritage and functional value. Here, the garden becomes much more than just an outdoor space: it is the heart of the lifestyle project, a space to invest in, transform, or simply enjoy. A convenient and strategic location The house enjoys a rare balance between accessibility and privacy. Located near a quiet residential street, it benefits from a peaceful environment while remaining connected to the historic center and all amenities. Schools, shops, markets, services, restaurants, and cultural facilities are within walking distance. The TGV train station and the A36 motorway provide quick access to major regional and European cities. This subtle compromise between tranquility and urban life makes it a particularly attractive address for an active family, a couple seeking authenticity, or an investor wishing to enhance the value of a heritage property without the constraints of distance. This is also what gives this house its unique character: it offers what few other properties can combine, the charm of a historic cottage, the privacy of a country estate, and the convenience of a city address. The agency's opinion This property will appeal to lovers of beautiful old houses who are not looking for a standardized product, but a place with soul, potential, and character. Its large enclosed garden, intact architectural charm, and multiple possibilities for development make it a rare opportunity on the Besançon market. Whether as a warm family home, a characterful second home or a heritage project to develop, it lends itself to all ambitions. It is a property that you choose with your heart as much as with your head.

Contemporary timber house in Besançon In Besançon, in the Velotte district, this timber house stands opposite the Citadel, at the foot of Chaudanne. The city can be glimpsed in the distance, framed by the undulating landscape, vegetation and lines that stretch out into the scenery. Situated on the very edge of the forest, it offers 181 m² of living space on a wooded plot, where the vegetation forms a natural setting and preserves a sense of space. Light flows gently through the rooms, revealing a fluid continuity between indoors and outdoors. A DISCREET PRESENCE ABOVE THE CITY The house is situated in the sought-after Mazagran neighbourhood, below the Fort de Chaudanne, in this part of Velotte where the terrain rises steeply. The centre of Besançon remains accessible within minutes, yet upon arrival, the atmosphere shifts. The pace slows, sounds fade, and the landscape takes centre stage. From the living areas, the Citadel lies directly in line of sight, visible every day. The house enjoys a commanding position, on the edge of the forest, with the River Doubs and the Mazagran path below. You can head out for a walk straight from home, follow the paths, and get away for a few moments without taking the car. The residential neighbourhood, with its lively atmosphere and a discreet sense of community, provides structure without feeling restrictive. The whole creates a balance between city life and the natural environment, offering a way to live in Besançon with more space and breathing room. A HOME THAT ADAPTS TO THE RHYTHMS OF LIFE Built in 2018 with a timber frame, the house features a clear layout across two levels. The living area centres around a spacious volume, where the living room and open-plan kitchen share a fluid space that extends outwards. Light flows throughout the day, brought in by large windows that connect the interior with the garden. The covered terrace serves as a direct extension, used for both meals and more informal gatherings. The ground floor features a bedroom with an en-suite shower room, allowing for single-level living or comfortable accommodation for guests. Upstairs, three bedrooms are situated beneath the roofline, accompanied by an open-plan area that lends itself easily to remote working, a reading nook or a shared space. The full basement also plays a key role in daily life. It houses technical and storage facilities, whilst leaving the option to create a separate space. An office for a self-employed business, a studio, a dedicated room or a gym can be accommodated, with separate access already provided. The house thus adapts to different lifestyles, serving as both a main residence and a home-based business. The whole is built on sustainable choices: wood wool insulation, underfloor heating, and a masonry heater. A technical foundation that provides consistent comfort and adapts to the seasons with reliability. A GARDEN IN DIRECT CONNECTION WITH THE LANDSCAPE The generously sized plot surrounds the house and gently follows the slope. A section close to the house, ideal for everyday living, and other more open spaces, where the view extends further towards the vegetation and the edge of the forest. The garden is already laid out, with established trees, an orchard, a vegetable patch, an apiary and a henhouse. The spacious covered terrace becomes a focal point come fine weather. It provides shelter without being enclosed, allowing you to enjoy the garden even when the weather changes. A balcony also extends certain rooms, offering a more distant view of the landscape. Certain spaces can evolve, accommodating a set-back swimming pool, extending the house or facilitating new uses. The Citadel of Besançon lies along the axis, visible daily from the garden, as a tranquil landmark that marks the passing hours. Below, the Doubs River traces its curves and shapes the landscape, whilst the hills envelop the town. AGENCY'S OPINION A modern, well-built house, designed for contemporary family life, where daily activities flow naturally between indoor and outdoor spaces and professional life, within an environment that strikes a balance between city and nature.
