Contemporary Villa On The Hills Of MONTBOUCONS Perched in a commanding position, set back from the road, this contemporary villa, built in 2005, is nestled within an established residential neighborhood on the hills of Montboucons. Upon arrival, the impression is clear: architecture precisely positioned on the slope, where clean lines define the space. Light flows through the spaces, revealing the views. Set on a wooded 3,292 m² lot, the house fosters an outdoor-oriented lifestyle, where every room opens directly onto the terraces and garden. ARCHITECTURE Open To The LANDSCAPE From the cul-de-sac, the house blends into the gentle slope of the land. The two-story layout creates clean, defined spaces. The southwest-facing living room opens wide onto the terraces that encircle the house. Each orientation offers a distinct way of living: morning light, afternoon warmth, and the gentler light of late afternoon. The view of the city below dominates the vistas and complements the shifting light. The garden is organized into distinct sections. The terraces extend the immediate living spaces, then give way to lawns, a planted orchard, and a dedicated vegetable garden. INTERIOR Spaces Designed For Everyday LIFE The living area is organized around a fully equipped open kitchen, extended by a directly accessible pantry. The 51 m² living room, facing southwest, features large windows opening directly onto the terraces. Together, they form a structured central space where functions are clearly defined. The ground floor features two bedrooms and a bathroom, allowing for a fully accessible, single-level living experience. The spaces are open, with high ceilings and a consistent use of materials. Upstairs, the layout leads to additional sleeping areas, including a master suite with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The design clearly separates the living areas from the sleeping quarters. A Living Space Balancing Comfort And AUTONOMY The heated indoor pool, equipped with a counter-current swimming system and dehumidification, is accessible directly from the living areas. The 95 m² basement houses a garage, workshop, and utility rooms, with ample parking capacity, complemented by several outdoor parking spaces integrated into the complex. Outside, a Smartflower-type photovoltaic system contributes to the home's energy production and aligns with a philosophy of sustainable use. The lot, which is partially buildable and divisible, offers potential for future development while preserving the current balance between built structure and landscape. AGENCY'S OPINION A property where contemporary architecture interacts with the topography and light. The balance between space, comfort, privacy, and openness to the landscape offers a peaceful living experience, just minutes from the heart of Besançon.
