Ref.4963 : 1897 noble dwelling with caretaker's house and outbuilding in Burgundy The property lies in a rural village of 450 inhabitants, ideally placed between the towns of Clamecy and Vézelay, to the north-west of the Morvan massif. The village nestles in a narrow valley crossed by the Armance river (a tributary of the Yonne) and stretches between Mont Brevois and Mont Martin. It boasts a vast forest estate of some 1,421 acres. Fortified under the reign of Francis I, the village has kept traces of its medieval past and of its ramparts, including the remarkable Porte de Bourgogne. Vézelay is 16 km away, Paris 220 km, and a railway station 8 km away offers direct trains to Paris. Formerly known as “Le Castel Joli”, the house is a noble dwelling, built in 1897 by the ancestors of the current owners. It offers 218 sqm of living space. Typical of late 19th-century architecture, its south-facing main facade is built of dressed stone with brick mouldings. It draws heavily on the aesthetics of French Renaissance chateaux and on the neo-Gothic style. The combination of red brick with structural and decorative elements in dressed stone (plinths, window surrounds, string courses, quoins) creates a lively, colourful contrast. The steep roofs are covered in slate (regularly maintained). The noble dwelling features numerous windows with carved pediments and an asymmetrical plan with projecting and recessed sections. It is reached by a stone flight of steps sheltered by a very fine metal canopy leading to the main hall, with a small terrace on the right and a French window opening onto the grand drawing room. The ground floor is dedicated to the reception rooms, with ceilings almost 3.80 metres high. A large hall leads on the right to the 45 sqm grand drawing room, with five windows, a white marble fireplace and herringbone parquet flooring, in a rather Haussmann style. On the right, the 21 sqm dining room has a coffered ceiling, herringbone parquet and a fireplace. Notably, this fireplace, in wood and brick, was designed in harmony and in the same style as the room's furniture: the table, sideboard and chairs form a very coherent and original ensemble dating from the first half of the 20th-C. They may be sold with the property. Next comes the fitted kitchen of almost 18 sqm, rustic in style but of good quality, with access to the outside, to the dining room and to the hall. Beyond the main hall, a vestibule leads to a study with a French window onto the garden, then to a garage (accessed from outside). On the first floor, a landing (with large cupboards) serves three large bedrooms (15, 17 and 22 sqm), a small study opening onto a balcony, a shower room and two washrooms that could be converted into shower rooms. The entire floor has parquet flooring, either straight or herringbone, with ceilings about 3 metres high. The second floor has remained unchanged for many years but has a certain charm. Entirely parquet-floored, it again offers three large rooms (15, 17 and 23 sqm), plus a room of almost 9 sqm that could be converted into a bathroom. Large attics of about 40 sqm offer further potential. Finally, in the basement, the noble dwelling stands on fine, dry cellars of about 80 sqm, currently used as wine cellars, boiler room and storage. The interiors of this hotel particulier are of high quality and the layout flows very well, ideal for a large family, with for example the parents on the first floor and the children on the second. After some decorating and upgrading work, the charm of this late 19th-C. noble dwelling will be revealed. THE CARETAKER'S HOUSE It stands at the entrance to the property, on the right, and offers about 60 sqm on the ground floor. The base is built of millstone, the roof is gabled and the upper floor is clad in timber framing. The ground floor comprises two rooms, a kitchen and a washroom, with very attractive original cement tile floors. The upper floor could be converted into two bedrooms. The house has cellars beneath its entire footprint and its own small walled garden. THE LARGE OUTBUILDING The whole western part of the grounds is occupied by a very large outbuilding of about 600 sqm plus a mezzanine. A small part is old and almost certainly corresponds to the former stables; the other, more recent part was built originally to house a large collection of vintage cars. This vast space lends itself to many projects, whether for tourism (holiday cottages) or more personal, such as an indoor swimming pool. With almost 1.85 acres in the heart of the village, the grounds offer a real opportunity to create a fine park and a true haven of peace. They are entirely enclosed by walls. From the main street, access is through a wrought-iron gate flanked by stone pilasters. Inside are a pretty lime tree walk running parallel to the facade, large lawns, a former orchard and some fine specimen trees. There is an opportunity to acquire almost 4.94 acres of building land, partly adjoining the property.

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.

This is a splendid family property, which can also perfectly suit a guesthouse project, notably thanks to its setting within the Grand Vézelay area.

THE BADOVICI GRAY HOUSE, IN VÉZELAY Located in the historic heart of Vézelay, the Badovici Gray House is a discreet and unique retreat. This stone house, a true source of inspiration, was redesigned by Jean Badovici and Eileen Gray. It bears the mark of many artists, notably Le Corbusier, who worked on it in the 1930s. The property is laid out in an unconventional way, in direct harmony with the local landscape. A UNIQUE GETAWAY IN THE HEART OF THE VILLAGE Located in the center of Vézelay, the house is on Rue de l'Argenterie, a street off the beaten path that runs parallel to the main street. You are in the heart of the old village, in its most compact and intimate section. The basilica is less than a 3-minute walk away, while the main square and its restaurants are also within easy reach. Vézelay lives in tune with the seasons, with a lively summer atmosphere: a setting that is ideal for a second home as well as for a peaceful life throughout the year. From the windows and terraces, the view stretches far across the Vézelay vineyards, the terraced gardens, and the surrounding countryside. This hillside offers unobstructed views and soft light, without excessive heat in summer thanks to its sheltered exposure. AN ARCHITECT-DESIGNED HOME ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF MODERNISM In 1927, Jean Badovici purchased two small adjoining hovels on Rue de l'Argenterie, on the northern slope of the village. He joined them together and transformed them with the help of Eileen Gray. It was here, in Vézelay, that their collaboration took shape and deepened. The reworked openings, the integrated elements, and the office fitted out in the attic bear witness to the expertise they forged together in this village. Le Corbusier, a close friend of Badovici and a regular visitor to the house, wrote in *La Ville Radieuse* (1933): ?Everything is tiny, yet everything is grand. It is a setting on a human scale.' In 1936, Fernand Léger created a painting on the courtyard wall, now preserved at the Zervos Museum in Vézelay. Inspired by this, Le Corbusier in turn created his very first mural on a wall in the living room that same year, traces of which remain visible. This experiment convinced him. Badovici entertained frequently. Poets, artists, and writers frequented the house. Paul Éluard, who took refuge in Vézelay during the war, left behind an autographed poem, still visible in one of the bedrooms. A second poem, by Jean Follain, is also preserved in the house's living room. A SPACE TO MAKE YOUR OWN The property comprises two houses, each approximately 85 m² in size, spread over two levels, connected by a split-level interior courtyard that rises from Rue de l'Argenterie toward the second house on Rue des Écoles. Concrete, stone, and earth make up this intermediate space?both a passageway and a living area?where a flower garden would naturally find its place. The Badovici house features an attic of approximately 15 m², formerly the architect's office, identifiable from the street by the raised roof and its two vertical openings, to be converted as needed. A cellar, much older than the house itself, is ideal for storing wine. The space can be easily adapted to suit your needs without major renovations. AGENCY OPINION This house is ideal for a buyer with an appreciation for architecture and history. Its rarity stems from the convergence of several uncommon criteria: a central location in Vézelay, a documented and tangible history, a clear modernist identity, and real potential for appreciation.
