Renovated Barge in Dole

Property Description

Moored in a leafy cul-de-sac, in a peaceful setting, this renovated houseboat in Dole offers a unique experience: living on the water, in tune with nature, while remaining just a few minutes from the town center. Completely restored, it combines the raw elegance of steel with contemporary comfort, in a warm, industrial style.
Its terraces open onto the Doubs River, capturing the southern light and the shifting reflections of the river. On board, the light-filled spaces, recycled materials, and custom-made furniture create a setting that is both stylish and poetic. Ideal for a couple, a family, or an investor looking for something original, it invites you to experience a different way of living: between sky, water, and nature, without sacrificing proximity to shops and city life.

The spirit of a studio on the water
The barge opens onto a vast living space, bathed in light. The living room, decorated in light wood and black steel, evokes the atmosphere of a loft. The custom-built kitchen combines rustic charm with modern lines, while a pellet stove spreads gentle warmth throughout the space.
Three welcoming bedrooms and a workshop extend the main hull, designed for a simple and inspired life. The attention to detail, the use of reclaimed materials, and the built-in furniture reveal a respectful and creative approach. Every corner is an invitation to serenity: here, nothing is superfluous, everything interacts with the light and the movement of the water.

Two terraces and the water as your horizon
At the front, a large 50-square-meter terrace becomes an open-air living room at the rear, a second, more intimate space opens onto nature and the neighboring barges. Your gaze glides over the Doubs River, the century-old trees lining the shore, and the discreet passage of birds and boats.
This unique environment, both bucolic and urban, offers a rare sense of freedom: here, calm is never isolation. Easy parking for several vehicles and the presence of a workshop on board enhance the functionality of the place.

Between city, water, and forest
Located a few minutes from the historic center of Dole, this houseboat enjoys an exceptional setting: at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, surrounded by nature, it combines the advantages of city life with those of a riverside retreat.
The Chaux forest, bike paths, golf course, and water sports are all nearby. Beaune and Arbois, home to vineyards, are less than an hour away Dijon and Besançon are just half an hour away. Living here means choosing a unique address where nature and culture intertwine.

Agency opinion
This houseboat in the countryside, moored on the Doubs river, is much more than just a place to live: it's a way of life. Its recent renovation, warm atmosphere, and green surroundings make it ideal for a young couple, a family, or an investor looking to develop an events or tourism business. An unusual property, both poetic and practical, for living on the water without straying far from the city.
