THE PRIORATE OF L'ÉTOILE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF LONS-LE-SAUNIER Just a few minutes from the town center, in a preserved setting, this 18th-century priory showcases carefully restored stone architecture. The rooms open onto a wooded park dotted with ancient trees, a pond, and serene views. The house is equally suited to family life and entertaining, supported by a warm and inviting atmosphere. AN ANCIENT PRESENCE, ROOTED IN THE LANDSCAPE In the heart of a quiet village in the Jura, Le Prieuré is part of a historical continuity that is evident from the moment you approach. The stone, weathered by time, captures the light and reveals facades with balanced proportions. The whole is organized with clarity, in a slightly commanding position, open to the surrounding nature. Inside, the materials interact. Old hardwood floors, terracotta tiles, beams, and generous ceiling heights create an atmosphere where each space seems to extend a memory. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow light to flow from east to west, accompanying the rhythms of the day. A HOME FOR LIVING AND SHARING The rooms flow seamlessly around a spacious living area, designed to welcome guests. The layout invites both gathering and privacy, with living rooms, bedrooms, and more intimate spaces. In the billiard room, a unique feature catches the eye and seems to freeze time: a rare 18th-century frieze, of which only a few examples remain in the world, unfolds its patterns with delicacy. It lends this space an almost museum-like quality, without disrupting the home's lively harmony. A bedroom on the ground floor extends this sense of immediate comfort, while the upper floors suggest multiple uses, ranging from family life to entertaining. Set apart, the spaces dedicated to well-being extend the experience. A heated indoor pool occupies a separate area, accompanied by a sauna and a summer kitchen that opens onto the stone terrace. Here, the seasons are experienced differently, in a gentle continuity between indoors and outdoors. A LIVING PARK, BETWEEN BREATHING SPACE AND ROOTS The nearly one-hectare lot unfolds with simplicity. Centuries-old trees create zones of shade and light, punctuated by an ornamental pond and open vistas. The orchard and grassy areas complement a lifestyle oriented toward the outdoors, balancing contemplation with daily living. Just minutes from amenities and major thoroughfares, the property retains a sense of seclusion, maintaining just the right distance from the world. It appeals to those seeking a place to call home as much as a place to envision their future, striking a balance between deep roots and a sense of freedom. AGENCY'S OPINION This priory house combines history and quality of life in a rare balance. The use of stone, the spacious volumes, and certain unique decorative elements come together to create a place designed to endure, welcome, and pass on a legacy.

AN 18TH-CENTURY ESTATE IN THE HEART OF A JURA VILLAGE Ten minutes from Lons-le-Saunier, in the heart of the Jura wine region, this former 18th-century winemaker's estate is revealed behind a spacious courtyard lined with stone buildings. A through porch leads to an enclosed, intimate garden, gradually revealing the property's various features. Exposed stone walls, oak floors, antique wood paneling, marble fireplaces, and French-style ceilings bear witness to its history. Renovated over the years with respect for its original materials and character, the home still offers spaces to be finished or personalized, allowing its future owners to continue its legacy. A HOME WITH CHARACTER The main house offers approximately 270 m² of living space. The large living room charms with its oak hardwood floors, marble fireplace, and glass-fronted bookcases. The former small living room now serves as a dining room, connected to the kitchen by a magnificent opening created in the wall. This space retains its exposed stonework, French-style ceiling, and fireplace equipped with a Polyflam system that allows you to enjoy the fire both above and within the hearth. Upstairs, each of the five bedrooms has its own unique character: a marble fireplace, a wood-burning stove, or a private bathroom. One of them opens onto a balcony overlooking the garden, offering breathtaking views of the sunsets. Formerly a tower that once housed a dovecote, it has been restored and insulated, and now offers a distinctive space, still waiting to be personalized. A GARDEN AND OUTBUILDINGS WITH ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES It is perhaps upon stepping through the porch that the property reveals its most alluring side. Behind the house lies an enclosed, tree-lined, and intimate garden, largely shaped and planted by the owners over the years. Rosebushes, flowers, and shrubs mingle with mature trees and the orchard, creating a lush setting that changes with the seasons. A rainwater-fed pond and a heated swimming pool complete the property, dotted with numerous spots to have lunch, read, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet. An outdoor kitchen extends the living space on sunny days, while part of the garden is zoned for construction. The outbuildings offer a wide range of possibilities: a double-width barn-garage capable of accommodating two vehicles, several old barns, workshops, and storage spaces, as well as a massive metal-framed hangar. Already used for exhibitions, concerts, and dances, this hangar could?following a major renovation of its roof?host other events, such as receptions or weddings. Finally, the wings of the courtyard house two independent residences with private entrances, ideal for hosting family and friends or for a rental venture. THE CASTLE, THE VINEYARDS, AND THE VILLAGE Across from the property stands the magnificent Château de Gevingey, built in the 17th century in the heart of a vast park and woods. Acquired just a year and a half ago by its new owners, it is currently undergoing extensive restoration work, which continues in an effort to breathe new life into this historic estate. Its woods are home to abundant wildlife, and it's not uncommon to spot deer approaching the property from the kitchen. Just ten minutes from Lons-le-Saunier, Gevingey retains the charm of a Jura village with its church, historic houses, peaceful streets, and bakery, while remaining close to shops, services, the train station, and access to the A39. Right next to the house, organically farmed vineyards come into view through an iron gate installed by the owners, offering a glimpse of the vineyard. The lakes and landscapes of the Jura round out this setting, perfect for walking or biking, swimming, and outdoor activities. THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE What appeals to me here is the atmosphere that permeates every space and the way the property unfolds: from the stone courtyard to the house's woodwork, from the porch to the garden, and on to the vineyards and woods of the neighboring château. History is present everywhere, creating the feeling of a family home where one can naturally imagine living, entertaining, and sharing. A home with a true soul?one in which you, in turn, can write a new chapter.
