Just 2.5 hours from Paris, an elegant 18th-century master house, its outbuildings, and its park overlooking the Nivernais Canal. The landscape, varied and shaped by the confluence of several rivers and flat towpaths, forms a bocage countryside with hedges and wooded banks. Located near the foothills of the Morvan Regional Natural Park, it includes forested areas and elevated positions with spectacular views. The village, perched high, is traversed by numerous lanes lined with stone houses. At the top of the town stands an 11th-century church, listed as a historical monument, facing a vast square. The residence, built in 1728, is nearby, with its ornate gate. Its main facade faces west. A large enclosed courtyard, bordered on one side by a wood shed and on the other by two outbuildings (used as a workshop, boiler room, and garage), allows for vehicle parking. To the south lies the park, enclosed by walls and dotted with trees, which overlooks the Nivernais Canal and includes a conservatory orchard as well as a livable longhouse. Further north, in front of the other outbuildings (a small house, shelters, and old rabbit hutches), stands a well-tended vegetable garden. A small path provides direct access to the house's inner courtyard. A stone well, over 25 meters deep and fed by a spring, ensures a good water supply throughout the year. The residence is three stories high, with a facade animated by numerous openings framed by semi-louvered wooden shutters. A glass-paneled wooden door topped by a glass transom marks the main entrance, preceded by a small stone porch. The roof, made of flat Burgundy tiles and restored in 2016, is punctuated by several chimney stacks. While the ground floor typically houses the living areas and a first bedroom, the upper floors concentrate the bedrooms: five on the first floor with three bathrooms or showers and one very spacious one with a bathroom and wardrobe on the second floor, in the attic. The outbuildings, built of stone or brick and covered with traditional or flat mechanical tile roofs, contribute to a coherent and robust architectural ensemble.
