Besançon, Franche-Comté 25000

Manor House On The Outskirts Of BESANÇON Just a few minutes from Besançon, this historic property reveals behind its walls a rare ensemble comprising a 19th-century mansion, a renovated guest house, and a second detached house waiting to be reimagined. Set within over two hectares of wooded grounds, the stone facades, gravel paths, and lush vegetation create a place filled with tranquility, light, and the promise of a legacy. A Walled Property On The Outskirts Of BESANÇON From the cul-de-sac, the property appears discreetly behind its gates and century-old trees. The property immediately evokes a sense of space rarely found in the Greater Besançon area, nestled between unspoiled countryside and quick access to shops, schools, and major thoroughfares. The main house, built in the late 19th century, stands alongside a fully renovated guest house and a second detached building currently used for storage. The layout of the estate allows for the possibility of an extended family life, spaces for entertaining, or additional uses over time. Surrounding the buildings, the landscaped grounds unfold with gentle slopes, hedges, mature trees, and views of the surrounding nature. A deeply residential setting, designed to be lived in as much as to be enjoyed. INTERIORS Blending Old-World Elegance With Modern COMFORT The main house offers approximately 190 m² spread over three levels. The spaces retain the spirit of old bourgeois mansions: high ceilings, moldings, wood paneling, wall niches, solid hardwood floors, and a wooden staircase connecting the floors. Light floods the reception rooms and living areas, which open onto the greenery and surrounding natural landscapes. The separate kitchen, centered around a central island and marble countertops, extends this atmosphere of a family home lived in day to day. The original materials interact with more contemporary elements that have been discreetly integrated. Geothermal heating, double-glazed aluminum window frames, and technical systems provide a modern take on comfort without altering the home's identity. In addition, the guest house features a separate space spread over two levels, while the garages, carports, cellars, and workshops offer a multitude of possibilities. A Place To Live, Entertain, And GROW The uniqueness of this property lies as much in its location as in its layout. Few estates offer more than two hectares of private land just minutes from Besançon and the Auxons Tgv station. The second detached house naturally opens the door to various projects: a family guesthouse, a professional space, a caretaker's home, or a future additional residence after renovation. The property maintains a sense of privacy without isolation, striking a particularly sought-after balance between urban life and the tranquility of nature. A property designed for those seeking more than just a house: a place to call home for the long term. AGENCY'S OPINION This property has a unique presence in the Besançon landscape. The grounds, the various buildings, and the architecture of the main house form a rare ensemble, capable of accommodating both a vibrant family life and a broader legacy project.
