Character house
in Domblans, Jura, Vineyard

In the heart of the Jura vineyards, between the hillsides of Château-Chalon and the secluded valley of Baume-les-Messieurs, this old stone house raises its turret above the rooftops of Domblans. Built before 1717and extensively renovated between 2018 and 2019, it now offers 285 m² of living space in a preserved setting, just a two-minute walk from the train station. The building impresses with its strong character: dressed stone walls, generous ceiling heights, a corner turret topped with a tiled roof, and a paved courtyard enclosed on three sides by outbuildings. Modern comforts have been brought up to date without compromising its architectural identity—double-glazed windows with electric shutters, a pellet boiler installed in 2018, and a kitchen and bathrooms completely renovated in 2019. This property is offered for direct sale between owners, without an agency or intermediary fees.

With nine main rooms spread over two levels, the interior layout offers great flexibility. The renovated kitchen and its functional pantry, the living room with fireplace, the master suite with private bathroom and custom-made dressing room, and the five bedrooms create a well-balanced interior that combines entertaining spaces with everyday living. The high ceilings, original parquet floors, and preserved period features give each room a character that modern constructions cannot replicate. The working fireplace and the ARCO wood-burning stove complement the pellet central heating system, ensuring consistent warmth throughout the Jura winter. Fiber optic internet, an integrated security system, and all the latest amenities make this historic home a perfectly contemporary property.

The 2,240 m² enclosed garden, landscaped with trees, is divided into several distinct areas: a paved courtyard at the entrance, a covered terrace with a bioclimatic pergola and electric photovoltaic awning, a lawn with a pergola, and a secluded pool area—a 5 x 10 m in-ground pool with an NF-certified winter cover. The Seille River runs along the back of the property. A south-facing garden, a covered terrace, and a secluded pool—an outdoor space designed for privacy and enjoyment.

The outbuildings are remarkable for their size and condition: an 80 sq m workshop, a 70 sq m vaulted cellar with a barrel and antique press, a 35 sq m attic, a 35 sq m garage, and a former stable with a mezzanine. The property offers significant potential – a gîte, bed and breakfast, professional space, or a wine tasting room. In a tourist area as sought-after as the Jura vineyards, these outbuildings represent a rare and valuable commercial asset.
