MASTER HOUSE WITH GITE AND POND IN LUREAt the bend of a leafy path, a domain reveals itself in muffled silence. Surrounded by the forest, bathed in light, and carrying a long industrial history that has become familial, La Saulnaire embodies a promise of the future rooted in stone. Once a glassworks, now a character home with a gîte, apartments, outbuildings, and land, it offers a rare configuration, ready to welcome the most sensitive projects. Here, rural charm is not just an image, but a tangible daily reality: weathered stones, ancient beams, generous volumes, and open views over more than five hectares of nature. Below, a spring irrigates the park, a fountain bubbles, terraces are staggered, and two pools extend the bright hours. A place to live, to pass on, to inhabit according to one's own contours.AN INTERIOR OF CHARACTER, BETWEEN MEMORY AND MODULARITYThe history of the place is read in its details: exposed beams, cathedral volumes, old woodwork, and welcoming fireplaces punctuate the rooms with a warm atmosphere. Each space seems to have found its place without ever losing sight of the essential: comfort and flexibility of use. This master house unfolds over three levels offering a fluid flow designed to accommodate rhythms of life, seasons, and silence. The autonomous gîte features a large cathedral living room and three bedrooms, while the two apartments harmoniously complete the offer, each with their two bedrooms and bright living areas. In total, four kitchens provide different atmospheres, from rustic to contemporary. Everything has been designed to adapt to plural lifestyles: extended family living, main residence with rental income, tourist or event hosting.A VIBRANT EXTERIOR, BETWEEN OPEN SPACES AND ELEMENTSHere, nature is not a backdrop; it is a partner. Over nearly six hectares, the domain combines wooded park, clearings, water points, and meadows suitable for equestrian hosting. A natural spring supplies the whole, and the former glassworks basin, now a pond, rhythms the seasons and reflections. Seven terraces adorn the facades and accommodate different uses: summer meals, contemplation, sunbathing or shade depending on the hours. Two outdoor pools, discreetly positioned, add to the sense of freedom. Materials such as stone, wood, and brick anchor the whole in the landscape without constraining it. Here, every nook tells of a potential use, a scene of life in the making.A TERRITORY BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL MEMORY AND PRESERVED NATURESet back, between Lure and Belfort, the domain benefits from a chosen isolation without renouncing accessibility: TGV station, highway, and airport are all less than 1 hour and 30 minutes away. The region, rich in natural and cultural heritage, offers varied escapes: walks in the Mille Étangs, hikes at the Ballon d'Alsace, swims at Malsaucy, visits to the Chapelle de Ronchamp, and the Golf de Luxeuil is just a few kilometers away, with well-developed equestrian infrastructures. This discreet territory today attracts clientele in search of roots, breathing space, but also meaning. The Domaine de La Saulnaire, with its generous volumes and atypical configuration, fits in seamlessly.AGENCY'S OPINIONThis property with a gîte and pond, ideally located in Lure, is an exceptional property that will appeal to families in search of an inspired place, tourism professionals, or investors sensitive to authenticity.
