In Burgundy, in Colette's country, 2 hours from Paris, A Belle Époque seaside-style villa set within just over 1 ha, fully furnished. Waymarked paths cross an open, rolling landscape of hedgerows, ponds, woodland and low hills, threaded by quiet country roads. A double wrought-iron gate marks the entrance to the grounds, where a curved drive loops in front of the villa before continuing to the outbuilding at the rear. A separate access leads to parking for up to ten cars. Woodland borders the property, and an old well remains on site. The main entrance is distinguished by classical columns supporting an alcove, a pear-wood baluster railing and a door surmounted by a glass segmental-arched fanlight. Facing south-west, built over a cellar and rising three levels, the building has an asymmetric composition. Its principal volume, rendered in a pale finish, carries a two-pan slate roof marked by shed dormers. At one corner, a slightly projecting square tower supports a covered belvedere. Large round-arched glazed bays punctuate the ground-floor facade, above which a continuous balcony runs the full width of the level, protected by an ornamental metal railing. On the first level, paired windows open onto small projecting balconies.
