There are places that go far beyond the simple concept of a home: properties that tell a story, evoke emotion and offer a way of life that has become exceptionally rare.
Some properties cannot truly be appreciated through a simple viewing. They need to be discovered, understood and imagined.
In the heart of the Doubs Horloger Regional Natural Park, just one hour from Besançon, less than 20 minutes from the Swiss border and within easy reach of the main transport routes, discover an exclusive estate designed for discerning buyers seeking a truly exceptional property.
Hidden from view and set within 6,676 m² of fully enclosed private grounds, this remarkable estate offers 805 m² of living space and comprises two authentic Franche-Comté farmhouses, each over 200 years old.
The two residences are connected by an elegant covered passageway, allowing discreet and sheltered access between them. Each property also benefits from its own private entrance, preserving its individual character, independence and privacy while remaining part of one exceptional estate.
Here, nothing has been left to chance.
The renovation was undertaken with one clear objective: to preserve the soul and authenticity of the property while providing the level of comfort expected of the finest contemporary residences.
Magnificent original stone floors, traditional stone sinks, exposed beams, historic architectural features, an authentic bread oven, noble materials and spectacular volumes all bear witness to the history of these exceptional homes. At the same time, the technical specifications meet the highest modern standards.
Comprehensive insulation throughout the buildings and roofs, independent central heating systems for each residence, solar panels, air conditioning in selected areas, recent equipment and excellent energy performance have all been carefully considered to ensure that the charm of a historic property can be enjoyed without compromising on modern comfort.
The estate offers truly exceptional proportions and amenities:
805 m² of living space
11 bedrooms, including 9 suites with private bathroom facilities
Several fully fitted and equipped kitchens
Generous reception rooms
Multiple living rooms, each with its own atmosphere
A dedicated wellness area
A magnificent veranda overlooking the grounds
Numerous terraces, some with direct access from the bedrooms
Several independent areas offering complete privacy
Extensive outbuildings
Outside, the estate continues to convey the same sense of exclusivity.
The fully enclosed grounds offer complete privacy with no overlooking neighbours, together with peace, tranquillity and open views across the surrounding countryside. Several garages, chalets, additional outbuildings and extensive storage facilities complete the property.
This is an estate capable of accommodating far more than one vision.
It would be equally suited to an extended family or to ambitious professional and investment projects: a high-end hospitality business, luxury guest house or holiday accommodation, corporate retreats and seminars, a prestigious events venue, a multigenerational family residence, or an exceptional heritage investment.
The possibilities are numerous, yet one thing remains unchanged: this property is truly unique on the market.
What makes this estate so remarkable is not simply its size or the quality of its renovation.
Its true distinction lies in the rare balance between the authentic character of historic Franche-Comté farmhouses and the standards of comfort expected by today's most discerning buyers.
This is a living piece of heritage, meticulously maintained and ready to welcome its new owners without the need for renovation work.
Properties combining this level of character, such extensive living space, such accomplished restoration and such a preserved natural environment are exceptionally rare on today's market.
An initial telephone conversation is therefore essential in order to discuss your project and introduce you to the history, distinctive features and full potential of this exceptional estate. More detailed information and the complete property portfolio will then be made available to prospective buyers whose plans are in keeping with the spirit and stature of the property.
To live in such an estate is to choose far more than a residence. It is to become the custodian of a rare piece of heritage, a distinctive way of life and a property whose soul deserves to be preserved and passed on with the same care and dedication that have shaped it over the centuries.
If you are looking for more than simply a home, but rather an estate steeped in history, where the heritage of Franche-Comté meets contemporary comfort, this remarkable property deserves your full attention.
