luxury house for sale Fours, France

2 h 30 from Paris, an elegant 18th-century maison de maître, its outbuildings and park overlooking the Canal du Nivernais. The landscape is shaped by the confluence of several rivers and the flat towpaths that follow them, a bocage countryside of hedgerows and wooded banks. The property lies near the foothills of the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan, where woodland gives way to elevated positions with far-reaching views. The village climbs steeply, its narrow stone-lined streets rising to a broad square at the summit, where an 11th-century church, listed in the catalogue of historic monuments, stands opposite the house. Built around 1750 and set behind an ornate gateway, the maison de maître faces west. A enclosed courtyard, flanked on one side by a woodstore and on the other by two outbuildings housing a workshop, a boiler room and a garage, provides vehicle parking. To the south, a walled and planted park overlooks the Canal du Nivernais, including a heritage orchard and a habitable longère. To the north, facing further outbuildings — a small house, shelters and former rabbit hutches — a well-tended kitchen garden extends alongside. A path leads directly to the inner courtyard. A stone well over 25 m deep, fed by a natural spring, supplies water year-round. The maison de maître rises over three levels, its facade enlivened by numerous windows framed by semi-louvred timber shutters. The main entrance is marked by a glazed timber door with a glass fanlight, approached by a small stone perron. The roof, laid in traditional Burgundy flat tiles and restored in 2016, carries several chimney stacks. The ground floor holds the main reception rooms and a first bedroom; the upper levels concentrate the sleeping accommodation: five bedrooms on the first, with three bathrooms or shower rooms, and one very large bedroom with bathroom and dressing room on the second, within the converted upper level. The outbuildings, in stone or brick under traditional or interlocking flat-tile roofs, form a coherent and substantial architectural group.

This attractive architect-designed house is set on a lovely one-hectare plot close to the Morvan region. The first floor features an entrance hall, a reception room, a fully-equipped kitchen, a pantry, a master suite with a PMR bedroom, a bathroom with shower and bathtub, a dressing room and separate sanitary facilities. The first floor features a large landing, 4 bedrooms, a large games room, a bathroom with shower and bath, separate sanitary facilities and cupboards. A vast basement for 3 vehicles completes the property. It also features an air-conditioned wine cellar, boiler room and technical area. A pleasant 12.20 m x 4.58 m heated swimming pool completes the garden (motorized safety cover). ECD: C/C An ideal location for a primary or secondary residence.

Here, isolation is a luxury, not a constraint.A Sanctuary for Lovers of Nature and Hunting55 hectares of contiguous land — it’s a whole territory at your disposal. Alternating between hundred-year-old woods, open meadows, and wetlands, majestic oaks and centuries-old chestnut trees enrich the park with remarkable biodiversity. At the center, the 16-hectare pond fed by several streams — including the Cressonne — is a true haven for fishermen and lovers of wild nature. The former fishery, still operational, with its main basin and fish reservoirs, attests to a nourishing tradition maintained for generations. The cherry on the cake: an engineering study revealed that the site has a hydroelectric potential estimated at 3 kWh per day — a real avenue towards energy autonomy.The Buildings: Authenticity and Comfort are on the AgendaMain House — 109 m²Fully restored in 2009, it combines the charm of the old — lime walls, exposed beams, functional stone fireplace — with today's comfort: underfloor heating (with water/water heat pump), double insulation, equipped kitchen. It offers a bright living room, kitchen, a bedroom, and a shower room on the ground floor; upstairs, two additional bedrooms under the beams and a bathroom. A warm home, ready to welcome a family or guests.The Mill — The Jewel of the Domain — one bedroomIt steals the spotlight. Its red brick facades mirror in the pond it borders, creating a scene worthy of the most beautiful postcards of Burgundy. Three livable levels, period octagonal tiles, a wood stove, a bedroom with a fireplace… and, at the top, a spectacular framework known as “à la Philibert Delorme”, resembling an overturned boat hull — an architectural feat from the 16th century, rare indeed.The Outbuildings — Unlimited PotentialThe stone barn (200 m²), the former pigsty (45 m², 5 rooms of which 3 are already fitted out as a laundry room, food storage, kitchen area), the woodshed (30 m²)… so many raw spaces to convert according to your ambitions.

Here are some options among others: Luxury accommodation or gîte. The mill and house are ideally suited for a high-end gîte operation.

A rare and precious differentiating asset in a time that values autonomy and sustainability.Properties like this are practically non-existent.

A unique, 18th-century mill, with a fully restored house, outbuildings, more than 55 hectares of grounds and a 16-hectare fishing lake, in the countryside of the former Nivernais province. The property stretches over 55 hectares on either side of a vast, approximately 16-hectare lake through which flows the River Cressonne. This water mirror forms the natural crossroads of the estate, around which the different buildings are set. A drive winds through the grounds up to a two-storey, fully restored manor house with a cellar. The limewash rendered façades are dotted with regularly shaped windows on either side of an elegant south facing entrance that can be reached via a central, double-flighted set of stone steps. To the north, the main entrance onto the garden level stands opposite the former pigsty, a witness to the estate’s rural past. The edifice is topped by a sober, dark, slate roof. A former barn stands slightly set back to the northwest. The mill building stands below the house, to the south. Its red brick façades reflect in the water of the lake on whose shores it stands. It was constructed as a grain mill and previously figured among the Nièvre area’s many water-powered buildings, whose activity was gradually abandoned with the rise of industrialisation. Its distinctive feature is its roof frame like an upturned ship’s hull. The structure is made up of light pieces of flat wood assembled using an ingenious wedge system and did not require the use of large lifting machines. It is covered with small, flat terracotta tiles that are typical of the region. This type of roof frame, known in France as a ‘Philibert Delorme’ roof frame after the architect whose technique became widespread in the 16th century, is directly inspired by the shape of a ship’s hull and enabled the entirety of the attic space to be used for storage of commodities. The waterwheel is no longer in place but it is still possible to see the tailrace and the where the water previously passed.

In southern Nièvre, in the heart of the Morvan park, this large family house built in 1950 enjoys a privileged location and environment. Located at the end of a driveway and completely isolated from any neighbors, it stands majestically in the heart of its wooded park. Raised over three levels, it includes an entrance hall, a toilet with washbasin, a spacious living room (60 m²) with oak flooring and a stone fireplace, a tiled kitchen and pantry, as well as an oak-floored office with a stone fireplace. On the first floor, a landing leads to a toilet, a hallway, 5 oak-floored bedrooms, 4 of which have washbasins, and a bathroom with toilet. On the second floor, there are 2 bedrooms, a laundry room, an attic room, a toilet, a bathroom, and a loft. The building is equipped with a central heating system fueled by oil; the electrical installation and septic tank need to be brought up to code. The period windows are made of wood, and the shutters are metal. The outbuildings include: - an old caretaker's accommodation over two levels with a living room open to the kitchen, and upstairs, a bedroom and a shower room with toilet - a building that houses under the same roof: a barn, a stable, a garage, various sheds, a greenhouse, chicken coops, and a kennel. The adjoining land, covering more than 3 hectares 26 ares, includes a courtyard, a landscaped garden with a beautiful chlorine pool (12x6), an old tennis court, and a free meadow section of 2.3 hectares. Due to its volumes, layout, and development potential, it would be ideal for a family home or for a secondary residence in the countryside.This description has been automatically translated from French.
