Property with gardenVillers-sous-Montrond (25) Price : $483,000 ($2,427 / m²)
Located between the Saône River and Ornans, this former winegrower's house, built in 1704, bears the marks of its history in its stonework, beams, wood paneling, and antique hardwood floors. Thoroughly restored, it offers 199 m² of living space on a fenced, wooded lot of 1,981 m². An Aligoté vineyard, a small pond, century-old trees, and several outbuildings enhance the character of this property, designed for family life, not far from Besançon and on the road to Switzerland.
A BUILDING FROM 1704, BLENDING STONE AND WOOD
Behind its stone walls, this former winegrower's house tells a story spanning more than three centuries. Built in 1704, it underwent a complete renovation that continued through 2015, with a focus on preserving the elements that define its character. Exposed stone complements the beams, wood paneling, wall niches, and antique hardwood floors. These materials flow throughout the rooms, giving the house a warm atmosphere true to its origins. Spanning approximately 199 m², the living spaces are spread over two levels. The spacious living area forms the heart of the home. The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a pantry, retains a rustic feel in keeping with the home's architecture. The sleeping area comprises four bedrooms, including one on the ground floor with its own bathroom. Upstairs, the rooms feature high ceilings. A library and a second bathroom round out the interior layout. The monumental fireplace and wood-burning stove further highlight the use of fine materials and provide comfort throughout the seasons.
A GARDEN WHERE THE HISTORY OF WINE-MAKING LIVES ON
Outside, the property's character extends onto flat, wooded grounds. The garden features century-old trees, a vegetable garden, an orchard, and a small pond, all enclosed by hedges and period walls. A few rows of grapevines serve as a direct reminder of the house's history. Spanning approximately three ares, the Aligoté vines still anchor the property in its winemaking past and give the garden a unique identity. The equipment needed for vineyard maintenance and work is included with the property. For those who wish to continue this tradition, training is available to help with the first steps. The house also features a sheltered terrace facing southeast. The courtyard and various outdoor spaces create several pleasant pathways between the main building, the garden, and the outbuildings. A barn accommodates two vehicles, a workshop, and the pellet-fired boiler with its 4-metric-ton silo. A former caretaker's house of approximately 30 m², now used for storage and housing a bread oven, completes the property. The attic and other ancillary spaces still offer potential for use. An underground wine cellar seamlessly extends the property's history.
BETWEEN BESANÇON, ORNANS, AND THE FIRST PLATEAU
The property is located in Les Monts-Ronds, in the Villers-sous-Montrond area, halfway between Saône and Ornans. This location allows for a close connection to the countryside while providing easy access to the region's main centers.
Saône and its train station are about ten minutes away, as are Fontain and Ornans. Besançon remains easily accessible for daily needs?whether for work or school?while the property's location also allows for easy travel toward the Swiss border. The land and outbuildings offer several possibilities for living in the house. It could become a permanent family home or a charming weekend retreat.
More than just a backdrop, the vineyard, stone, and trees here tell the story of a place that has been inhabited for over three centuries.
THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE
What stands out to me here is the building's charm and the quality of the restoration work. The beautiful stonework, the original features, and the spacious rooms have preserved the house's identity, while the grounds, with their trees and a few rows of vines, extend this atmosphere outdoors. A house full of character between the Saône and Ornans, with that special feeling of a place that has stood the test of time.
