The maison de maître for sale in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté is first of all a house of stone: honey-coloured limestone from the wine slope, dressed stone from the Auxois, glazed tiles in coloured diamonds, the broad Franche-Comté roofs with generous pitches. It stands in wine-growing villages, along the Saône, on the Jura plateaus and in the valleys of the Morvan. The section goes beyond that model, however: it brings together all the fine residences of the region, merchants' houses, town mansions, spa villas, architect-designed houses, contemporary properties in parkland, wherever the living space exceeds 300 m² or the price nears a million euros, excluding chateaux, manor houses and historic monuments. Browse the maisons de maître and fine residences for sale placed on the market by private owners, agencies and notaries.
On this page you will find price benchmarks for the large residences of Burgundy and Franche-Comté, the kind of properties now on offer, the features of the buildings in each terroir, the areas to explore in the eight departments and the checks to make before an offer. The guide to buying prestige property in France then supports you on financing, taxation and formalities.
Maisons de maître form the core of the segment tracked by our observatory: houses with more than 300 m² of living space on 0.05 to 10 ha, sold above €1,000 per m², recorded in the DVF database of the French tax administration. These benchmarks frame the market for large residences without describing it entirely: a small village bourgeois house or a chateau sold with 30 ha of parkland fall outside this scope.

In the Côte-d'Or and Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy limestone, ochre or pale, shapes dressed façades with moulded cornices, covered with flat tiles or glazed tiles forming polychrome patterns. In the Yonne, Tonnerre stone and brick stand beside the timber frames of former merchants' houses; in the Nièvre, the notable's residence, sometimes tied to the forges and timber floating of the Morvan, blends grey stone and slate. Franche-Comté prefers wide broken-pitch roofs and rendered façades, from the Jura wine country to the Doubs plateaus, with vast vaulted cellars and, in the larger houses, a stone-flagged entrance hall.
Around these houses stand a vat house, a storeroom, an orangery, a dovecote, a caretaker's cottage and a park of cedars and hornbeam arbours. The region also offers holiday villas beside ponds and lakes, and recent architect-designed houses with large picture windows on the heights of Dijon, Besançon and Beaune. In every case, ceiling heights, stone staircases, marble fireplaces and herringbone parquet floors remain the marks of a well-preserved house, and they weigh heavily in the asking price.
The Côte-d'Or (21) draws buyers for Beaune, the Côte de Nuits, Dijon and the Auxois; Saône-et-Loire (71) for the Mâconnais, the Chalonnais, the Brionnais and Autun. The Yonne (89), close to Paris, is searched around Auxerre, Chablis, Sens and Avallon; the Nièvre (58) remains more affordable, from Nevers to Cosne-sur-Loire and Clamecy, at the gates of the Morvan, with spacious bourgeois houses in the sub-prefecture towns. These four departments make up former Burgundy.
In Franche-Comté, the Doubs (25) radiates around Besançon, Pontarlier and Montbéliard, the Jura (39) around Arbois, Lons-le-Saunier and Dole, Haute-Saône (70) around Vesoul, Gray and Luxeuil, the Territoire de Belfort (90) around Belfort. TGV stations exist at Dijon, Montbard, Le Creusot, Mâcon-Loché, Besançon, Dole and Belfort-Montbéliard; the Nièvre, the Yonne and Haute-Saône have none, and rely on Intercités or TER trains; the A6 motorway serves the Yonne, the A77 the Nièvre and the N57 Haute-Saône.
In wine-growing areas, the sale of a residence with vines raises the question of the SAFER's pre-emption right, tenant farming and whether the parcels belong to an appellation; the edges of the wine slope also fall within the protected perimeter of the Climats, which governs any exterior work. The Jura and the Doubs, limestone lands, have karst cavities: enquire about sinkholes and underground water flows. Frost damages old tiles, and glazed roofs are restored by specialist craftsmen.
In the Morvan, radon and damp in granite walls deserve a check; in houses with old roof timbers, a wood-boring insect survey is essential. For villas and recent properties, examine the regularity of extension and pool permits, construction warranties and insulation. A visit with an architect before the offer lets you cost the works ahead, in particular roofs, floors and the heating of very tall rooms, which are often expensive to renovate, and it shows how much of the budget must be set aside once the keys are handed over.
Listings in the region come from private owners, agencies and notary offices: pick a department, set a price range, a minimum living space and plot, then save an e-mail alert. To compare with other high-end homes, look at the luxury properties for sale in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
