2 hours from Paris, at the edge of a Burgundian village, an elegant manor house surrounded by a wooded park with its multiple floral species. The village is residential and extensive, lined with elegant houses hidden in nature. An imposing and ornate double gate, made of wrought iron, is supported by two large stone pillars. It opens onto a gravelled inner courtyard, marked by a well-designed lawn. A large lime tree is placed on either side of the gate. A wide staircase leads up to a second courtyard, crossed by a central stone path bordered by a stone wall, topped with a wooden fence that separates it from lush vegetation. Overlooking it all, the manor house dominates the park. Dated from the mid-19th century, it has been occupied by the same family since 1931: three generations of foresters, who became operators of a sawmill and then a fuel trade. The dwelling rises over two levels. The main facade of white stone, oriented to the south, is animated by numerous openings, fitted with solid wood shutters or blinds. The frames and tops of the openings are identical to the corner chains. The ground floor is distinguished by its glass entrance door, topped by an elegant recently restored awning. The slate roof with four slopes features a dormer window. To the west, an old veranda extends the building, with a grate that allows to close the space or, conversely, to open it to the park. Facing the house, an old sundial is still in working condition, and original benches are placed at each end. Following is a large, well-kept and orderly area, planted with several centuries-old trees, which creates various nooks with different atmospheres. A long avenue of linden trees forms a forest vault, next to the ruins of an old carved chimney. Small alcove openings lead to other wooded areas. Another entrance is located behind the house, near an old pond. To the east, a cobbled pathway leads to the cave. Higher up, a terrace is bordered by a small dry-stone wall. Across the entire park, two building plots remain available: one at the bottom and the second, located behind the house, close to a third access.
