luxury farmhouse for sale Les Roles-Saint Martin, France

In Burgundy, close to Beaune, a group of buildings with farmhouse architecture from the 17th, 18th and 20th centuries surrounded by courtyards and gardens. The old estate comprises a number of detached buildings grouped around a shared courtyard. Most of the walls are of stone and the roofs, with a few exceptions, are clad with flat tiles. The various dwellings, although of varying heights, all have two storeys. Probably dating back to the 17th century, the oldest building on the east side of the street has half-timbered walls and features a covered gallery on the courtyard side. Continuing southwards, there is an 18th-century building with the entrance porch to the courtyard, linking it to the 17th-century house. To the north are a small house, known as the 'steward's house', and a more recent abutting barn. Also extending to the north, almost closing off the courtyard to the east, there are a number of old barns and sheds, as well as other outbuildings, used for agricultural purposes. Former stables, converted into a hay store, stand in the middle of the courtyard. The grounds, covering an area of around 2,300 m², are accessed via a track between these buildings to the north and the residential buildings to the south and east. To the south, along an east-west axis that closes off the complex, a house built in the 1920s links up with the 18th-century building to the east, which has a facade on the street side. Forming a genuine small estate, these premises are supplemented by three independent flats, of approximately 64 m², 67 m² and 97 m², respectively.
