Le Refuge Des Mille étangs

COUNTRY PROPERTY IN HAUTE-SAÔNE

At the edge of the forest, in the preserved landscape of Haute-Saône, this old stone farmhouse dating from 1790 reveals a lifestyle centered on sharing. Fully renovated, it offers nearly 357 m² of living space with generous volumes, six bedrooms, and areas designed to welcome family and friends. Its independent apartment, barn, and workshop extend the possibilities of making the place your own, while the landscaped garden of over 2,700 m² invites you to slow down, between countryside and nature.

SPACE AS A WAY OF LIFE

Along a path lined with greenery, this property reveals a discreet presence. The stone walls tell more than two centuries of history, while the renovation offers a contemporary interpretation, true to its authenticity. Light fills the rooms throughout the day, highlighting the volumes, ceiling heights, and warmth of the materials. The living room is arranged as the heart of the home, centered around an insert fireplace and a wood stove that invite long winter evenings. The separate, fully equipped kitchen maintains its convivial spirit, perfect for meals that linger. The eleven rooms offer smooth circulation, designed to welcome guests without ever losing the sense of privacy. Six bedrooms allow multiple generations to live under one roof, while the two bathrooms complete a naturally functional layout. Upstairs, the sloping ceilings, open mezzanine, and views create a gentle atmosphere where everyone finds their own space.

A PROPERTY WITH MULTIPLE POSSIBILITIES

Outside, the property continues its story. A wooden terrace facing the sun accompanies summer days and outdoor meals. The landscaped garden blends naturally into the surrounding landscape, in an environment where the forest seems to extend the property. The barn, workshop, and separate garage offer real flexibility of use. The independent apartment opens new possibilities, whether to host loved ones with full autonomy or to imagine a hospitality activity. This setup allows for a family home, a characterful second residence, or a gîte project without major alterations. The recent renovation of the sanitation system, the compliant microstation installed in 2024, and the general maintenance of the property allow for immediate occupancy.

THE PRIVILEGE OF A PRESERVED SETTING

In Saint-Germain, at the gateway to the Mille Étangs plateau, daily life regains a peaceful rhythm. Forest walks follow long gatherings around the table, the seasons shape the landscape, and the house becomes a place of reunion. Yet the location remains easily accessible. The A36 motorway is reached in about twenty minutes, the Belfort TGV station brings Paris and major cities closer, while the Basel-Mulhouse airport opens the property to both French and Swiss clients. This address will appeal equally to those seeking an elegant second home and buyers wishing to create a hospitality venue or pass on a family heritage in a preserved environment.

AGENCY’S OPINION

What we particularly appreciate here is the balance between authenticity and ease of use. This old farmhouse was renovated with the idea of hosting comfortably without sacrificing the character of the place. A property where family gatherings, weekends with friends, or a hospitality project naturally find their place, in one of the most discreet landscapes of Haute-Saône.
