Réf. 4866: Charming château near Avallon (Yonne) – ideal for a hotel business The château is situated in the Yonne department, in Burgundy. It lies at the heart of the Morvan Regional Nature Park, between the towns of Avallon and Vézelay.

Numerous hiking trails, horse riding routes and Burgundian heritage sites. Two architectural periods thus coexist: a section dating from the 15th century, comprising a rectangular main building flanked by a rectangular tower at the front and a round tower at the rear; and two projections on the façades, one of which connects to the late 18th-century extension, consisting of a large rectangular structure with numerous windows, the east gable of which features two round towers.

A 19th-century chateau and its 1.4-hectare grounds, on the banks of the Yonne River, in Burgundy. Having returned from South Africa where he made his fortune, the commissioner of the Chateau de Belle-Rive had it built in 1885 on the foundations of a former inn.

Pleasant town with all shops within walking distance of the property and heritage. A bit of history: This manor, mentioned as early as the end of the 15th century, originally had a defensive role. Protected by its moat and overlooking the river and its mills, it also controlled access to the town. From the 17th century onwards, it gradually lost its role as a fortified house and was transformed into a pleasure property at the beginning of the 18th century. Completely preserved during the Revolution, it passed from family to family and became the property of a deputy from Yonne in the 19th century. Still maintained and modernized by heritage enthusiasts, it is now available to you. Contact Laurent Sineau for information and visits. Diagnostics are currently being carried out.
