This property is located in Franche-Comté, c.a. 375 km (234 miles) from Paris, c.a. 70 km (44 miles) from the border of Switzerland, between Besançon and Vesoul and in a small village with the first shops and services. It features a 16th century manor house, modified at the beginning of the 19th century, with outbuildings and 4,000 sq. mt. (1 acre) of landscaped grounds with a stream.

It features many details from the Renaissance period: stone walls 70 cm thick (2.33 ft.), round defence tower with small windows and loopholes, mullion windows, a second tower with a stone spiral staircase, etc. The house is made of stone with a tiled roof and offers 2 levels plus the attics and the cellars. It offers c.a. 260 sq. mt. (2,797 sq. ft.) of living space and is in good general condition (total renovation in 1988: roofing, double glazing windows with wooden frames, thermal insulation, etc.) Some renovation works remains to be done inside.
