luxury farmhouses for sale Yonne, France

An authentic country house with a lush garden boasting a variety of plants and trees, 2 hours from Paris, in Burgundy, in the Yonne area. A small road that winds through the slightly undulating countryside as far as the eye can see leads to the hamlet made up of stone houses and former farmyard buildings. At the end of the road, there is a former wash house surrounded by meadows. High stone walls lined with honeysuckle and vines, a reminder of the region’s origins, flank the house. There are two entrances to the property: the first is through a white fence leading to a patio sheltered by large trees, while the second is through a small white door that leads directly into the garden. Instead of a doorbell, there is a bell fixed high up on the wall, adding character to the dwelling. Japanese paving leads up to the entrance door through a lush, green lawn. There is also a barn next to this north-south facing three-storey house with a gabled roof made of Burgundy flat tiles. Purple wisteria adorns the limewash rendered façades of the buildings, including the one to the rear of the house facing north, from which a dry-stone wall extends, enclosing a patio with wooden decking, recently installed for use during the summer.

Two traditional 19th century houses and their dovecote in the heart of the Ouanne valley in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. Surrounded by woods and cultivated plots of land, as though on an outcrop, the property overlooks the valley. In a hamlet of 65 inhabitants, 6 km from Charny-Orée-en-Puisaye, a small local road followed by a stone track leads to the main entrance which is tucked away from view. An automated metal gate opens onto a continuous stretch of lawned parklands that covers approx. 5,000 m². Set at right angles to each other, the old barn divided into two flats and the traditional house are surrounded by a terrace. The dovecote is slightly set back. The fully restored complex lies in the centre of the parklands. The grounds comprise on one side a few tall trees and planted hedges, and on the other side flowerbeds dotted here and there, extending the view over the wooded valley. The flowers blossom to the rhythm of the crops. A small outbuilding and a well complete the complex.

A former farmstead in need of renovation, set in almost 13 ha of land, surrounded by unspoilt and varied countryside, just 1h30 from Paris in the Loiret department. The lane leading to the estate winds its way through the countryside and a communal forest. A wide gateway opens into a first enclosed courtyard, containing the main house and another building set at right angles. A large farm building and the caretaker’s cottage are in a second enclosed courtyard. Lawn parterres are omnipresent. Meadows extend behind the house, surrounded by oak trees. A lane leads towards the woods. A clearly delimited swimming pool and vegetable garden are near to the house.
