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. 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. 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 kitchen, organised around granite worktops and built-in appliances, extends the living spaces with fluidity. A ground-floor bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe leads into a utility room. 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.

FORMER WINEGROWER'S HOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF ORNANS 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. Sylvie du Welz

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. AGENCY'S OPINION This mill asserts a unique identity, enhanced by the constant presence of water and a renovation carried out with consistency. The axis of the wheel visible beneath the living area, the layout across several levels and the five bedrooms open the way to varied uses, in tune with different lifestyles. The technical choices?from the water rights to the energy systems and recent upgrades?contribute to a well-managed whole, the quality of which is reflected in particularly low day-to-day running costs.
