Elegant 18th-Century Home for sale, 2 Separate Apartments and Outbuildings

 LeChapitre is an exceptional historic manor house dating from 1787, originally built as a monastery. Rich in character and history, the property offers approximately 630 m² of living space across 17 rooms, set within 15,350 m² of private landscaped grounds in the heart of Lure, Haute-Saône.

Despite its central location, the estate enjoys remarkable peace and privacy. Hidden behind mature trees and surrounded by its own romantic parkland, Le Chapitre has long been a place of creativity and hospitality, having hosted weddings, artists' workshops and cultural events.

The manor has been partly modernised while preserving its historic charm. The bathrooms on each floor have been individually renovated to a high standard, the gas central heating has been renewed in recent years, and the original fireplaces remain fully operational. The roof structure and roof covering are in good condition, the property is connected to the mains drainage system, and several windows have already been replaced with double glazing. The house is fully habitable and can be occupied immediately, allowing any further renovations to be completed gradually according to the new owner's vision.

In addition to the principal residence, the estate includes a number of valuable outbuildings:

• Two independent apartments.
• A former barn converted into an impressive events hall.
• A workshop equipped for woodworking and joinery.
• Magnificent vaulted stone cellars.
• Extensive storage and utility areas.

The flexible accommodation lends itself to many different projects. Le Chapitre would make a distinguished private family residence, an elegant multi-generational home, a boutique guesthouse, a retreat or seminar centre, or a venue for weddings, cultural events and artistic workshops. The atmosphere of the estate naturally encourages creativity, hospitality and peaceful living.

The beautiful park offers mature trees, secluded lawns and numerous quiet corners, creating an idyllic setting for outdoor living while remaining only a short walk from the town centre. Shops, restaurants, schools, healthcare services and everyday amenities are all easily accessible on foot

Lure benefits from excellent transport connections. The train station is seven minutes walk from the house and has a direct rail service to Paris in approximately four hours. Montbéliard is around 40 km away, Basel and Basel Airport can be reached in approximately 1 hour 15 minutes, and Freiburg im Breisgau is around 1½ hours by motorway.

The property is offered with a negotiable completion date. Much of the existing furniture, consisting of unique handcrafted pieces created specifically for Le Chapitre by the artist who lived here, can also be purchased by separate negotiation.

Le Chapitre is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial historic French estate that combines architectural character, immediate comfort and exceptional potential. It is a property ready to begin its next chapter.
