It lies at the heart of the Morvan Regional Nature Park, between the towns of Avallon and Vézelay.

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. The corner buttresses are made of stone, as are the window towers. The roofs of the main buildings are covered with flat tiles; the roofs of the towers are slate. They are regularly maintained.

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. Inspired by Neo-Gothic and Renaissance-style architecture, the holiday dwelling has preserved its character, thanks to its recent and large-scale renovations, which has made it one of the most notable landmarks in the vicinity. Surrounded by wooded grounds, of approximately 1.4 hectares, partially bordered by the left bank of the Yonne River, the three-storey dwelling, including a floor under the eaves, enjoys a peaceful setting as well as enchanting views of the river, the valley and its wooded hillsides, while the property itself is accessible via a street from the village, the centre of which is within walking distance, followed by an impressive wrought-iron gate. Past the former caretaker’s cottage and at the end of a driveable lane, one comes face to face with the dwelling, framed on either side by two centuries-old sequoias, whereas, oriented east/west, it was designed with an elegant and, yet, human-sized silhouette. In addition, a glass-enclosed gallery, spanning two floors of the chateau’s central structure, is used as the entrance hall, while the living areas are turned eastward towards the garden and the banks of the river. As for the chateau’s inhabitable areas, they extend over approximately 490 m², whereas, in the distance, the last suspension bridge spanning the Yonne, recognised as a national Historical Monument, is visible from the property.

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.
