luxury contemporary house for sale Avallon, France

A stately 19th-century villa, surrounded by tree-filled grounds, with outbuildings and a swimming pool, in the middle of a city with strong architectural heritage, two hours from Paris, in Burgundy. Located in a very residential neighbourhood with wide, tree-lined avenues bordered by many private mansions with impressive façades and appreciated for its tranquillity and discreetness, the property is accessible via a spiked entrance gate, which opens on to the grounds, as well as a second entrance from another avenue that provides vehicular access to a gravel parking area. As for the manor house, it was erected in the middle of the grounds, while its main façade, set back from the street, faces north and its southern exterior, facing the garden, looks out on to the tiled swimming pool. The original three-storey building, with a central layout and an attic level, features stone-colour plaster exteriors as well as a slate and zinc Mansard roof, while a lateral two-storey wing with a roof terrace was added at a later time to the west. Extending on from this wing, a modern conservatory was created next to the swimming pool, whereas immense grounds planted with lawn and tall trees, some of which are multi-century, is landscaped with shrubs and flowerbeds and scattered here and there with several peaceful nooks, ideal for relaxation, under the shade of a tree or near the swimming pool.

On the edge of Morvan, in Nivernais, between Châtillon-en-Bazois and Château-Chinon, a fortified house from the 14th century, its outbuildings, and its estate of 17 hectares. Spanning an area of about 17 hectares, the estate is situated at an altitude of 300 meters and enjoys a continental climate. Mainly composed of fertile pastures, it has four ponds located to the south of the fortified house, aligned along an east-west axis that follows the slight slope of the land. To the north, three imposing barns, with facades made of plastered stones and roofs of traditional flat tiles, mechanical tiles, or slates, mark the entrance to the property. The residence consists of two buildings arranged at a right angle and adjoined by a square plan main tower, mentioned as early as 1443. The tower has retained its gun loopholes in its upper part, characteristic of its original defensive use. Its four-pitched roof is covered with Burgundy tiles, like the roofs of the residence, and is topped with two ridge finials while two dormer windows light up the attic of the residence. Access to the gravelled inner courtyard, located to the east of the fortified house, is through a small gatehouse whose porch is supported by two rounded arches. A more recent house, attached to the gatehouse, now houses the boiler room and a workshop. Finally, a second tower, to the south, attached to the main body of the residence, contains a spiral stone staircase. Between the two towers, the east and west facades of the dwelling, which has two levels under the roof, pierced by mainly straight openings and an oculus, are quite sober, covered everywhere except for the stone framing. Another character element contributing to the soul of the place is a contemporary garden created by the current occupants. The estate has retained its medieval appearance, and archival research has identified the presence of an ancient lordship from the first half of the 14th century.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In the Ouche valley, 20 minutes from Dijon, a former mill transformed into a house, with its pool and a 1.4-hectare park. Dated '1790' on a limestone stone, the mill is featured on the Cassini map. It was acquired in 1834 by the Côte-d'Or prefecture to control the water intake supplying the Burgundy Canal at section 38. Purchased by a private occupant in 1984, in a state of ruin, it was fully reconstructed between 1986 and 1989 using the original mill stones, in a contemporary interpretation of Burgundian rural architecture. Two volumes, built in an L-shape plan, made of dressed stone, topped with two-sided roofs of flat tiles, form a living space of approximately 420 m². A turret with a pavilion roof connects them. To the north, a drive-through gate leads to a courtyard where the two independent entrances and garages are organized. Once past the gate, the road immediately fades behind the trees and the murmur of water. The property opens to the south, sheltered from any overlook: the covered terrace, which runs along the facade, extends into the park planted with centenary trees, bordered by the Ouche. To the southwest, the river divides into two arms, forming an island of 4,630 m² accessible by a bridge. The waterfall to the northwest, a remnant of the mill's mechanism, animates the site. The park features a pool of 12 m × 6 m, with its shelter of glazed tiles in polychromatic geometric patterns in the Burgundian tradition, with exposed timber framing, as well as an open barn of about 60 m², with a roof of glazed tiles.This description has been automatically translated from French.
