Small in size but at the crossroads of Alsace, the Vosges and Switzerland, the department gives a B&B for sale in the Territoire de Belfort two kinds of guests: tourists and business travellers. In the north, the Ballon d'Alsace and the forests of the Ballons des Vosges regional park draw walkers in summer and cross-country skiers in winter. Belfort, with Bartholdi's Lion and Vauban's citadel, attracts visitors passing through, and the Malsaucy lakes host a major music festival every summer. In the south, ponds and villages lead towards Delle and the Swiss border.
Suitable properties are mainly old farmhouses at the foot of the hills, stone village houses and maisons de maître from the industrial era. This page is for buyers of a running chambres d'hôtes or a house to convert, and for owners preparing to sell. Save an email alert (in French) so you do not miss new properties.

This market stands apart from the rest of the region: the median country house sold for €203,840 in 2025, above both regional and national benchmarks, on a limited number of sales. The top decile starts at €306,321, so a house large enough for five guest rooms quickly moves into the prestige bracket, where the regional benchmark is €520,000 over 2021-2025. Deep-countryside villages have risen 28.8% since 2021 while commuter villages dipped: the pull of Belfort and Switzerland is felt everywhere.
The north, from Giromagny to Lepuix and the Ballon d'Alsace, lives with the mountains: hiking, mountain biking and cross-country skiing, with both a summer and a winter season. Villages around Sermamagny and the Malsaucy lakes enjoy water and quick access to Belfort. The Belfort area, with its industry and university, brings weekday business guests, valuable off-season. In the south, around Delle, Beaucourt and Grandvillars, ponds and nearby Swiss visitors set the tone, and the Rhône-Rhine canal draws cyclists and boaters. The A36 crosses the department, Belfort-Montbéliard TGV station links it to Paris, Lyon and Strasbourg, and EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse is close.
Farmhouses and stone houses at the foot of the Vosges need a survey of timbers, insulation and heating, essential for winter guests. Mountain villages fall under the loi Montagne, which restricts extensions and new building, so check with the mairie (town hall) before planning works. Granite areas call for a radon test, and the Savoureuse valley has flood zones. Rural homes may rely on a private septic system inspected by the SPANC service. A chambres d'hôtes business is limited to 5 rooms and 15 guests at a time, breakfast included, and must be declared at the mairie; serving wine requires at least a restaurant licence and a dedicated permit. Our article on how many guest rooms to run (in French) helps size the project.
Land-registry sales give two benchmarks: €203,840 for a country house in the department and €520,000 for a large home in the region. Most guest houses fall in between. Add works and purchase costs, and read our buying guide (in French), from the compromis de vente (preliminary contract) to completion before the notaire, the public official who handles property sales.
Two mountain seasons, summer festivals and weekday business guests help spread bookings, but heating and upkeep weigh on results. Test your figures in our B&B profitability and tax simulator (in French) and have an accountant review them.
Gather the town hall declaration, recent accounts, booking history, mandatory surveys and septic report, then list your property with us.
