Two houses in the heart of Morvan Second home in Saint-Martin-du-Puy In a small hamlet overlooking the valley, this second home near Paris comprises two carefully renovated country houses. The old stonework, exposed beams, warm interiors, and large windows create an authentic setting, surrounded by greenery and light. The south-facing terraces extend the living areas towards a peaceful landscape, while the heated swimming pool and large wooded grounds invite you to enjoy a gentle lifestyle in tune with the seasons. Whether as a retreat or a family home, this property offers the opportunity to bring together family and friends, or to imagine a hospitality business in the spirit of the Morvan. Here, nature surrounds every moment, in an atmosphere of deep calm and refined simplicity. Two houses, one spirit of tranquility The two dwellings, separated by an old barn, have been renovated to preserve the character of the 19th-century buildings. Exposed stonework, terracotta tiles, beams, and custom woodwork: everywhere, authenticity is combined with contemporary comfort. The main house is organized around a large living room that opens onto the garden. The stove warms up winter evenings and the large French windows let in the morning light. The separate kitchen, furnished with handcrafted furniture, retains the atmosphere of a family home, both convivial and functional. The bedrooms, simple and peaceful, evoke a simple and inspired life. Several suites with bathrooms allow guests or relatives to stay in complete independence. The second house follows the same codes: warmth, space, light, the perfect place to entertain, for a workshop or for a rental activity already underway. A natural setting with a swimming pool and clearings The grounds, covering almost three hectares, alternate between open spaces, gentle meadows, and groves. Stone terraces follow one another, offering plenty of places to read, have lunch, or watch the sunset. The discreetly integrated outdoor swimming pool adds a touch of summer lightness. The vegetable garden, mature trees, dirt paths, and views of the surrounding nature invite you to enjoy outdoor living. The central barn, currently used for storage, could become a link between the two houses, a reception room, an artist's studio, a games room or additional guest accommodation. The convertible attic space offers further possibilities for other volumes and uses. The Morvan as a backdrop Located in a dominant position, in an isolated but inhabited environment, the hamlet offers a rare quality of life: calm, greenery, and unobstructed views of the forest and countryside. Just a few minutes away, the villages of the Morvan reveal their shops, markets, and trails. Avallon and Corbigny are within easy reach; Paris and Lyon are accessible in 2.5 hours. The lakes, forests, hiking trails, and nature park create a lively and authentic area, ideal for a quiet country home, a family retreat, or a nature-oriented tourist activity. Agency opinion This rare property, centered around a barn, offers exceptional potential: two renovated houses, a swimming pool, extensive grounds, and a preserved natural environment. It is an ideal property for a family wishing to share a vacation spot, or for a couple looking for a second home near Paris. The possibility of acquiring the third house in the hamlet would allow it to become the centerpiece: a unique project combining a nature retreat, conviviality, and tourism potential.

Exclusively with Sotheby's. Near Vézelay, a magnificent historic property comprising an elegant manor house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, flanked by watchtowers, at the heart of a peaceful village. Full of charm, it embodies the discreet character of the rural manor houses of the late Renaissance. Set within a walled park of one hectare, remarkably landscaped, the main residence offers a surface area of 500 m² spread over three levels and was the subject of a careful restoration in 2002. On the ground floor unfold a vast reception lounge featuring a monumental fireplace, an elegant dining room, a library, a study, as well as a fully equipped independent kitchen. All of these rooms open onto the beautiful park, with its centuries-old trees and the statues that adorn the grounds. The first floor, for its part, accommodates six lovely bedrooms, five bathrooms and a linen room, to which is added a very comfortable dormitory, also fitted out as a leisure room. The property further includes an independent house of 100 m² over two levels, entirely restored in 2024, as well as a fine barn of 420 m², of which 75 m² of living space remain to be renovated. Entirely enclosed by stone walls, the one-hectare park is home to a swimming pool, a tennis court, a rose garden and a vegetable garden. To this are added two adjoining plots of around 5,500 m² that complete the property. One of them preserves a former watchtower dated 1537, converted into a dovecote and then restored in 2024. In front of the main entrance stands a majestic four-hundred-year-old lime tree. Finally, the property enjoys a privileged location, combining tranquillity and accessibility: a railway station lies nearby, with a direct connection to Paris-Bercy, and access to the A6 motorway is reached in just 10 minutes. This is a splendid family property, which can also perfectly suit a guesthouse project, notably thanks to its setting within the Grand Vézelay area.

CHARACTERFUL HOME IN MERRY-SUR-YONNE At the foot of the Saussois rock, this characterful home in Merry-sur-Yonne is nestled in a landscape of unspoiled beauty. Restored with care, it blends the soul of a 17th-century residence with a contemporary and welcoming atmosphere. The stone facades, exposed beams, and warm, inviting spaces reflect a simple and authentic way of life. The garden, bordered by a hedge of 170 truffle trees, promises a rare connection between the land and nature. Eight bedrooms, including five suites, and a spacious kitchen make this a place perfect for both socializing and contemplation. THE SPIRIT OF A LIVING HOME Behind its ancient walls, the house unfolds spaces that are both spacious and intimate. The reception areas, such as the dining room or the small upstairs lounge, bathed in light, offer an atmosphere of serenity. The kitchen, open to the dining room, is functional and exudes rustic charm, bringing guests together around a large wooden table. The bedrooms, spread over two levels, each have their own character: exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and antique terracotta tiles. Five suites with en-suite bathrooms offer comfort and privacy, where large mirrors framed in dark wood contrast with the lightness of the stone and play with natural light. The whole property presents the potential for a hospitality or tourist accommodation project. The finishes reflect meticulous attention to detail: Burgundy stone, solid wood, and wrought ironwork, where every detail strikes the perfect balance between authenticity and modernity. BETWEEN STONE AND TRUFFLE TREES The property, spanning over 8,000 m², stretches behind the house across gentle slopes. The main terrace, facing south, invites al fresco lunches, while a swimming pool, a wooded area, and a truffle grove of 175 trees create a vibrant and sensory landscape. The garden is a natural extension of the house. An outbuilding, a workshop, and a convertible attic offer rare potential for expansion. The entire property exudes freedom and simplicity, with the Saussois cliffs, the 12th-century church steeple, and the murmur of the nearby canal as a backdrop. AN EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION IN THE HEART OF BURGUNDY Merry-sur-Yonne, a charming village in the Yonne Valley, is situated at the crossroads of Burgundy's great landscapes: Vézelay and its UNESCO-listed basilica, the vineyards of Chablis and Irancy, the forests of the Morvan, and the paths of the Nivernais Canal and the Way of St. James. The house is a 2.5-hour drive from Paris, near Auxerre and Avallon, accessible via the A6 or by train (Cravant?Bazarnes station). This region offers a rare living environment: tranquility, nature, and heritage blend harmoniously here. On the route to Compostela and Vézelay, just minutes from the Saussois region and the Nivernais Canal, it embodies the ideal guesthouse: elegant, authentic, and steeped in history. AGENCY REVIEW This property embodies the very essence of Burgundy: the beauty of its setting, the nobility of its stonework, and the promise of a life in harmony with nature. It will appeal to families seeking a countryside retreat as much as to those with tourism projects in mind: a vacation rental, bed-and-breakfast, artists' retreat, or event venue.

A country manor with six hectares of grounds, transformed into tourist accommodation with gîtes, beside the beautiful Morvan regional nature park in Burgundy. The property used to be one of the four fiefs that were part of the Coutarnoux seigneury. It is now the last remaining representative of this former seigneury. Today’s buildings were probably built upon a medieval site. They are the last reflection of what a local nobleman built in 1775. The estate looks down over a wooded valley, around which lush hills, pasture and forests stretch as far as the eye can see. The bucolic atmosphere that reigns here is completely calm, recalling the name of the river that edges the property: the River Serein, ‘serein’ meaning ‘serene’ in French. You reach the property via a lane that climbs up a hill. There are several driveways. Two of them lead into the grand courtyard from the north and south sides. The main house and the gîtes stand around this court. The third driveway, marked with signposts, takes the clients straight to the car park.

A Historical Gem: Charm Meets Profitability Perched on the steep slopes of a hill, this ancient 15th-century lordship, heir to a medieval fiefdom, embodies the perfect blend of history and modernity. Once composed of four fiefs—La Petite Borde, La Roche, Salins (or Corabœuf)—the estate has preserved its soul and a portion of its original lands. Rebuilt in 1775, it stands as an elegant testament to a bygone era, combining exposed stone walls, slate roofs, and discreet dormer windows. The main house, the heart of the estate, features eight rooms, including five spacious guest rooms filled with natural light. Its vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and stone fireplaces evoke the prestige of the past, while its terraces and swimming pool invite relaxation. Surrounding a closed courtyard, six buildings house independent cottages, each accommodating between 5 and 8 guests. With 17 operational rooms (and two additional cottages under renovation), this estate is a treasure for high-end tourist accommodations. Immediate and Sustainable Profitability Designed to generate revenue from the very first season, the estate offers fully equipped cottages, private terraces, a swimming pool, and versatile spaces, providing a turnkey experience for visitors. Its dual purpose—as both a private residence and a tourist business—makes it an exciting and profitable investment. Combining exceptional architectural heritage with solid economic potential, this estate appeals to history enthusiasts and savvy investors alike. A dream within reach, for those who dare to combine passion and profitability.

THE VAUPRANGES MILL IN THE MORVAN In Mhère, at the Vaupranges Mill, a road winds down into the valley floor to a property crossed by the Anguison River. The stone building stands in front of the millrace and retains part of its mechanism, which is visible from the living areas. The house comprises nine rooms, including six bedrooms, spread over four levels, and is currently used as a vacation rental. Some rooms are in daily use, while others still need to be developed. Outbuildings, land, and a swimming pool complete the property. ARRIVAL AT THE VALLEY FLOOR Access follows a road that winds down through the woods to the valley floor. The mill is situated on the edge of the millstream, in an open setting of meadows and forest edges. Built around 1650, its proportions and location place it among the hydraulic structures of the Morvan region. The building has been restored in keeping with its original structure. The woodwork has been refurbished, the doors are made of oak, the floors have been insulated, and the utilities have been updated. The entryway leads to a first living area. The living room, featuring a fireplace, opens onto the landscape and extends into a wooden veranda overlooking the garden. The estate spans 2.18 hectares. It includes meadows, wooded areas, and the riverbanks. The Anguison River flows through the property and feeds the mill race, maintaining a direct link to the mill's original operation. THE MECHANISM ROOM In the guesthouse area, the large dining room?designed for receptions and events?is equipped with a professional kitchen and also houses the mill's machinery, which is visible and integrated into the dining space. The machinery remains in place, its operation clearly visible, and directly connects the property's current use to its history. A separate kitchen allows for optimal organization and is currently used for family gatherings. Some rooms are already suitable for extended stays, while others require targeted renovations to ensure the site's long-term sustainability. Outside, a south-facing terrace provides a setting for meals. The swimming pool, situated at a distance above the millrace, creates a second relaxation area used during the season. The possibility of restoring the hydraulic system, meanwhile, ensures tangible continuity. LIVING AND EVOLVING The house features nine rooms, including six bedrooms spread across four levels, allowing it to accommodate several people and maintain the guesthouse operation already in place. Three bathrooms complement this layout. The outbuildings, opposite the house?a former grain loft and a barn?expand the property's capacity. The property, spanning over two hectares, stretches across open areas, riverbanks, and forest edges, offering practical activities such as river fishing, hiking, or outings around Lake Settons. Access to the A6 highway in fifty minutes and the Montbard TGV station in one hour allows for a balance between staying on-site and traveling. AGENCY OPINION This mill in the Morvan is ideal for a buyer who wants to build upon an existing property to develop it over time. The existing machinery, the active millstream, and the current use as a guesthouse provide a solid foundation. The identified improvements support a clear path forward. Condominiums of 1 units (No proceedings in progress). Annual expenses : 4500 euros.

A 16TH-CENTURY MANOR HOUSE IN BURGUNDY In Provency, in the Yonne department, La Motte des Ouches is laid out along a surprisingly precise axis. From the entrance gate, the eye is drawn to a library situated beneath 16th-century stone arcades, passes through the gardens, and then rests, beyond them, on the dovecote. This perspective reveals the layout of the property, where the main house, farm buildings, and outdoor spaces once formed a single cohesive whole. First mentioned in 1554, the manor has evolved over the centuries while retaining the spirit of its various eras. Stone, beams, terracotta floor tiles, irregular openings, and thick walls still define its character. Surrounding the house are a gravel courtyard, a mature orchard, landscaped gardens, a barn, and old stables that extend the home's presence. A HOUSE BUILT IN LAYERS The 250 m² of living space is divided among eight main rooms, including four bedrooms. The floor plan retains the layout of an old house, with rooms flowing into one another and spaces of varying proportions. The reception room, dining room, and library form the heart of the house. Stone, wood, terracotta tiles, and historic plasterwork lend the interiors their character. The 16th-century arcades are among the manor's most remarkable features. They create visual connections between the courtyard, the rooms, and the garden, while the stone spiral staircase evokes the building's age. The current owner, a California-based architect, acquired La Motte des Ouches in 2023 and undertook several renovation projects. The master bedroom and its bathroom were renovated, the roof was replaced, the electrical system was upgraded, and the bedrooms were equipped with air conditioning. These improvements enhanced the home's comfort while preserving its historic materials, spacious rooms, and elements inherited from its various eras. The contemporary features thus blend seamlessly with the existing structure. ALONG THE AXIS OF THE DOVECOTE Outside, the 4,700 m² of land includes a gravel courtyard, a landscaped garden, an orchard, and the former outbuildings. Set apart from the main structure, the swimming pool adds a more contemporary touch while preserving the character of the manor and its surroundings. From the house, the views open up to the various features of the property. In particular, a central axis runs through the entire property from the gate to the dovecote, creating continuity between the buildings and the outdoor spaces. The outbuildings include a stone barn, former stables, a wine cellar, a summer kitchen, and the dovecote. These various structures can retain their current use or be repurposed for new projects: a workshop, reception area, separate guest rooms, a workspace, or a space dedicated to a collection. They are an integral part of the property and offer numerous possibilities for renovation. A BURGUNDY LOCATION La Motte des Ouches is located in Provency, in the Yonne department, in the heart of Burgundy, where historic rural estates often combine a main house, farm buildings, a garden, and land behind a single gate. The manor is fully in keeping with this landscape. Its stone walls, dovecote, old stables, and compact layout are inseparable from the land on which it was built. However, the architect-owner's vision offers a fresh perspective on this heritage. The house remains deeply Burgundian, while the restoration departs from the expected repertoire of the French country house. This approach is reflected in the property's overall balance: a historic residence on a domestic scale, outbuildings large enough to envision new uses, and generous grounds, always designed with everyday life in mind. THE ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE I particularly appreciate the way the architect's vision has transformed this house. His intervention has allowed it to adapt to a more contemporary way of life, while preserving its materials, proportions, and traces of its various eras. Comfort has been seamlessly integrated into the existing structure, without overshadowing the site's history. The outbuildings and remaining spaces now offer the same freedom: the freedom to imagine new uses and, in turn, to continue the transformation of La Motte des Ouches. Alexis Mouchet

Property, agricultural estate: fortified house from the 13th century, its manager's house, guest house, for sale in Nivernais-Morvan (58, Nièvre): More than 650 m² of living space, 19 rooms; restaurant, guesthouses, and bed and breakfast possible. Two large barns, 3.65 hectares of parkland, courtyards, swimming pool, pastures. An ideal site for a guesthouse, horses, and animals. The layout of this farm, mentioned in 1287 as property of the diocese of Nevers, surrounds its medieval fortified house that overlooks the small village nestled around its Romanesque church and remains a prototype of a fief from that era, amid an astonishingly cheerful and open landscape: fields, pastures, groves, orchards, vineyards, woods, and ponds with varying colors pepper the hills, on the path of evangelizers who came from Smyrna in the second century. This configuration of concentrated buildings, overlooking the estate, persists into this 21st century, following the Napoleonic plan. The village is not lacking in historical figures: several knights from noble Nivernais families succeeded each other "at the castle." In the 15th century, a local usurper resembling Jeanne d'Arc, Jeanne des Armoises, was entrusted with armies that ravaged several regions but was fortunately recognized while passing through the village. In 1708, a valued personage, lord of the commune, advisor to Louis XIV, offered all his properties to the Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Didier de Nevers, built in the medieval period to care for lepers, the needy, and the injured. Between two ancient buttresses, the entrance to the former lower courtyard first reveals, directly ahead, the fortified house at the center of the estate; then, to the left, the long manager's house and its barn/stable forming a right angle, preceded by the cart awning. The grove of deciduous trees casting shade over the southern terrace of the manor conceals it from the view of the guest house whose entrance faces it. The vast barn-stable, at the back of the honor courtyard, opens onto almost 3 hectares of pastures south, west, and north surrounding the six buildings. All around, the varied and hilly landscape offers bucolic views of the hills of the Morvan foothills, crossed by hiking trails. On the road from Nevers to Morvan, the Côtes du Nivernais offer a temperate climate, and the property of more than 650 m² is adaptable for multiple uses: animal husbandry (3 hectares of pastures, lower courtyard); horse guest house (barns, lodgings, rooms, swimming pool); bed and breakfast; professional catering in the manager's house; or simply comfortable homes surrounded by a well-private perimeter. 1) The fortified house, 225.44 m² of living space on one level, full of medieval character, spacious volumes, all comforts (south-north): The stair tower leads via a straight staircase to the vaulted stone cellars at a man's height (one for wine, the other for tasting); and via the spiral staircase to the first floor at ground level on southern and northern terraces, wooded park, and courtyards.

Through a mullioned door, the common room with American kitchen of about 60 m² reveals wide beams, a large stone fireplace, French doors onto the southern terrace; to the back: toilets and shower. Access to the fuel condensation boiler (2007, cast iron radiators) in a small outbuilding with a superb frame; Living room of about 70 m² with double exposure: timber frames separating the dining area from the living space; insert fireplace; doors onto southern and northern terraces; Corridor distributing: *3 beautiful character bedrooms; *bathroom (stone niche); *toilets; *master bedroom in the gable (about 50 m²): wide beams, monumental fireplace, niche for a small seat.

The western gardens, also framed by dry stone walls, can provide access to this pool. 4) The barns testify to the former opulence of the large estate mentioned as providing supplies to the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Nevers: medieval barn-stable-winery, with awning, of 200 m² (20 x 10 m): garage, winery side, stable side; lean-to. 19th-century barn-stable with awning, 360 m² (30 x 12 m): central garage, vast stables on either side, loft; lean-to. 5) Small outbuildings to the north, fenced lower courtyard: henhouse, pigsty with 3 pens. 6) The land on the hillside, protected from northern winds by the hill, enjoys a view of almost 360° over the village and its steeple, the woods, opulent fields, and hills; the walls give it a touch of authenticity; no neighbors. The layout of this large noble farm allows for the possession of many animals both outdoors and indoors, close to hiking paths and forests.
