AN OLD STONE FARMHOUSE BETWEEN BEAUNE AND CHALON
In Demigny, between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saône, this old farmhouse dating from 1850 holds within its walls fifty years of family life. Converted into a home of nearly 200 m², it retains the generous spaces inherited from its agricultural and wine-growing past. The spacious living room with its stone fireplace serves as the heart of the home, complemented by a mezzanine and four bedrooms spread across several levels. Outside, the tree-lined garden, the orchard, the south-facing terrace, and the swimming pool give the property all the charm of a country home.
FROM FARM TO HOME
Built around 1850, the property was once used for farming and winemaking. In 1978, nearly two years of renovation work transformed the farm into a home, preserving the spaciousness of its original layout. The living room is now the centerpiece of the home. Its ceiling, with its exposed beams and high ceiling, is a direct reminder of the architecture of the old farmhouse. A mezzanine overlooks it, offering additional space for a library, an office, or a reading nook. Four bedrooms (one of which remains to be finished) are spread across the different levels, including a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom. This layout combines a large common area with more intimate spaces.
A GARDEN TO ENJOY
The house takes on a whole new dimension as soon as the warm weather arrives. Spanning 3,180 m², the garden features a mix of lawns, trees, flower beds, and an orchard. Facing due south, the terrace extends the living room and becomes the perfect spot for meals and large gatherings. Further on, the in-ground pool blends seamlessly into the garden, with plenty of space around it to fully enjoy summer days. Here, you can have lunch outdoors in the shade of the trees, children of all ages take over the grounds, and afternoons are spent by the water's edge. A two-car garage and several outdoor parking spaces complete the property.
BETWEEN VILLAGES AND VINEYARDS
Demigny offers the chance to live in the countryside while remaining close to the area's main hubs. Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saône are about 20 minutes away, local shops are less than five minutes away, and the TGV station in Le Creusot is about 30 minutes away. Nearby, Rully marks the start of the Côte Chalonnaise wine route. This location combines daily life in the countryside with proximity to towns and quick access to Burgundy's wine region.
THE AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE
What I love about this place is that this home embodies a genuine lifestyle choice. Its owners transformed it to raise their family here, while working in Chalon. Nearly fifty years later, this approach still works: plenty of space for everyone, a large living room for gathering, and a garden that takes center stage as soon as the warm weather arrives. I see this home today as ideal for a family seeking that same balance between country living, space, and proximity to the city.
