House in Vitrey-sur-Mance , Haute-Saône , Franche Comte

This large village house used to be a wine merchant's shop and storage building. From what we know, it dates back to 1686 so plenty of history.
It offers a huge living room, a fully fitted kitchen, upstairs 4 bedrooms, one shower room and a toilet. Total 9 rooms.
The present owners have re-modeled the massive shop space into a large living room, with an attached kitchen and a separate utility room.
This stunning three storey stone property offers enormous potential with 110 square metres of accommodation each floor. It has a large annex and a 200m2 garden.

It is situated in an idyllic village with 270 inhabitants, a nursery and primary school, post office, bakery, coffee shop, hardware store and newsagents, pharmacy, doctor, hairdresser, beautician, petrol station police station and solicitor. 

The living room has wood-burning stove and the open plan kitchen still has its original fireplace. There is a large utility room and cellar. 
The kitchen sink and worktop have been recently replaced, so too the 200L boiler, the plumbing and the fuse board.
The first floor offers four large bedrooms, a generous landing, family bathroom and WC. 
On the second floor is an attic room with potential to convert into more living area if required.

The barns offer approx. 200 sq m of accommodation with floorboards on the first floor. 
The garden enjoys a terrace for al fresco dining, a well, a storage shed and hard standing courtyard with direct access to the house and garage. 

The “Haute Saone”, part of France-Comté, colloquially known as ‘Le Grand Est Oublié’ has now become “The New Place” to be !
And not without good reason! Not only has it, seemingly, been forgotten by Paris but it’s never top of the list for the millions of tourists who flock to the French beaches, the Alps or other popular parts of the country, during their holidays. Over the last 10 - 20 years the local climate has become micro Mediterranean but without the Mistral and the oppressive heat more and more common on the Côte D’Azur or the Atlantic. From a traveller’s perspective we are a reasonable 5 hour drive from Calais, 3 from Luxembourg and just 4 1/2 hours from Frankfurt, with Basel (2 hours) our nearest international airport with daily flights to the UK. Les Vosges, the Jura and the Alsace are no more than a 1 hrs drive and Dijon, very much the gastronomic capital of France, is just over an hour away. If you love farm lands and country side, rolling hills and a great deal of culture and history then I really recommend the Haute Saone. It’s very much possible that you’ll fall in love with this stunning and forgotten little piece of France.
