luxury house with pool for sale Avallon, France

A country manor with six hectares of grounds, transformed into tourist accommodation with gîtes, beside the beautiful Morvan regional nature park in Burgundy. The property used to be one of the four fiefs that were part of the Coutarnoux seigneury. It is now the last remaining representative of this former seigneury. Today’s buildings were probably built upon a medieval site. They are the last reflection of what a local nobleman built in 1775. The estate looks down over a wooded valley, around which lush hills, pasture and forests stretch as far as the eye can see. The bucolic atmosphere that reigns here is completely calm, recalling the name of the river that edges the property: the River Serein, ‘serein’ meaning ‘serene’ in French. You reach the property via a lane that climbs up a hill. There are several driveways. Two of them lead into the grand courtyard from the north and south sides. The main house and the gîtes stand around this court. The third driveway, marked with signposts, takes the clients straight to the car park.
