Full Description


A 54-hectare estate near Montbéliard. A story that began in the time of the Princes of the Montbéliard region in the 17th century. Even then, wheat and farm animals were cultivated, the spring water was drinkable, the vegetable garden and orchard fed the families, and bees foraged around the ponds and private hunting grounds. Restored in 2012, faithfully reproducing the original design, with over 670 sqm of living space and more than 54 hectares in total, life has resumed its course at the Domaine du Sainans. It's up to you to adapt this exceptional site to your desires and projects. At Sainans, Everything Is Possible. A true biotope, this exceptional estate, a rare find in Franche-Comté, is located 25 km from Belfort and less than an hour from Mulhouse/Basel airport. It is also 25 minutes from the Tgv station and the Swiss border. Absolute calm and isolation from all urban nuisances allow nature and animals to reign in complete tranquility. Fishing, farming, livestock breeding, hunting, leisure activities, bed and breakfast, catering, seminars, weddings... Here, everything is possible, in harmony with Mother Nature! Over 670 sqm, Restored in 2012. At the bend of a private road, opening onto the rolling countryside of Greater Montbéliard, 54.7 hectares of adjoining land await you, including 35 hectares of agricultural land, free of any lease and certified organic since 2012, with 19 hectares of forest and ponds. The property is flanked by three main, fully restored buildings with numerous outbuildings for various uses. The main building, spanning 450 sqm, is currently configured as five guest rooms/table d'hôte (restaurant possible), with offices, meeting rooms, a lounge, and a private apartment upstairs. It also features a fully equipped semi-professional kitchen. Superb terraces on each level offer views of the carp ponds and the estate. Separate, accessible restrooms are available for men and women. The entire property benefits from underfloor heating and a central vacuum system. The basement includes a prestigious wine cellar and technical rooms. The attic space is easily convertible. Opposite this former farmhouse is an identical building used as a workshop/storage shed, hay barn, stables, and a chicken slaughterhouse. At the far end of this building, a "shop" with three cold storage rooms at the rear and a processing workshop allowed for the creation of the finest terrines, cheeses, and jams possible, using local produce and the animals on the property... And offering them to visitors, of course. The idea was to live in complete self-sufficiency. This was the case at the time, and it is possible again. The existing spring and sanitation system have also been restored with this in mind. The Master's House: Between these two buildings stands a charming stone "Master's House," comprising three apartments and a basement used as a wellness area. It also features a recently installed oil-fired boiler, cellars, and a garage. Private Hunting! For enthusiasts, the estate has its own private hunting rights. And the neighboring forests will also delight connoisseurs. Also... Classic cars will also find a home here: 8 enclosed outdoor garages, in addition to the private parking area, will accommodate your vehicles, even if there are many. Also, a charming restored stone farmhouse, suitable for use as a chicken coop or sheepfold, and a 150 sqm free-range barn at the end of the property will delight your various animals, horses and/or cattle. Fruit, Vegetables and Drinking Water: Everything Is Here. On the nature side, an orchard has been restored (more than 100 fruit trees), along with 2 fishing ponds and 2 carp ponds. A 70 m³ water reservoir, drawing from 5 private springs (with a safety net of 100m deep wells), supplies the entire estate with drinking water. Individual sanitation system compliant with current standards for the sale. At Sainans, nature reigns supreme it's up to you to tame it. Here, as you'll have gathered, nature is queen, and humankind has tamed it. Ideal for shared living, seasonal rentals: a bed and breakfast/guesthouse project, equestrian gîtes, and/or event venues... Enormous potential for corporate seminars as well. Or simply to live here with your animals, and hunt or fish with friends. It's up to you to make this estate your own, adapt it to your projects, whether private or professional. 5 minutes from Montbéliard and 20 minutes from Belfort and its Tgv station. Furniture and equipment available at an additional cost. Complete Brochure Available Upon Request.
