luxury house with reception room for sale Givry, France

Exclusively with Sotheby's. Near Vézelay, a magnificent historic property comprising an elegant manor house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, flanked by watchtowers, at the heart of a peaceful village. Full of charm, it embodies the discreet character of the rural manor houses of the late Renaissance. Set within a walled park of one hectare, remarkably landscaped, the main residence offers a surface area of 500 m² spread over three levels and was the subject of a careful restoration in 2002. On the ground floor unfold a vast reception lounge featuring a monumental fireplace, an elegant dining room, a library, a study, as well as a fully equipped independent kitchen. All of these rooms open onto the beautiful park, with its centuries-old trees and the statues that adorn the grounds. The first floor, for its part, accommodates six lovely bedrooms, five bathrooms and a linen room, to which is added a very comfortable dormitory, also fitted out as a leisure room. The property further includes an independent house of 100 m² over two levels, entirely restored in 2024, as well as a fine barn of 420 m², of which 75 m² of living space remain to be renovated. Entirely enclosed by stone walls, the one-hectare park is home to a swimming pool, a tennis court, a rose garden and a vegetable garden. To this are added two adjoining plots of around 5,500 m² that complete the property. One of them preserves a former watchtower dated 1537, converted into a dovecote and then restored in 2024. In front of the main entrance stands a majestic four-hundred-year-old lime tree. Finally, the property enjoys a privileged location, combining tranquillity and accessibility: a railway station lies nearby, with a direct connection to Paris-Bercy, and access to the A6 motorway is reached in just 10 minutes. This is a splendid family property, which can also perfectly suit a guesthouse project, notably thanks to its setting within the Grand Vézelay area.

THE BADOVICI GRAY HOUSE, IN VÉZELAY Located in the historic heart of Vézelay, the Badovici Gray House is a discreet and unique retreat. This stone house, a true source of inspiration, was redesigned by Jean Badovici and Eileen Gray. It bears the mark of many artists, notably Le Corbusier, who worked on it in the 1930s. The property is laid out in an unconventional way, in direct harmony with the local landscape. A UNIQUE GETAWAY IN THE HEART OF THE VILLAGE Located in the center of Vézelay, the house is on Rue de l'Argenterie, a street off the beaten path that runs parallel to the main street. You are in the heart of the old village, in its most compact and intimate section. The basilica is less than a 3-minute walk away, while the main square and its restaurants are also within easy reach. Vézelay lives in tune with the seasons, with a lively summer atmosphere: a setting that is ideal for a second home as well as for a peaceful life throughout the year. From the windows and terraces, the view stretches far across the Vézelay vineyards, the terraced gardens, and the surrounding countryside. This hillside offers unobstructed views and soft light, without excessive heat in summer thanks to its sheltered exposure. AN ARCHITECT-DESIGNED HOME ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF MODERNISM In 1927, Jean Badovici purchased two small adjoining hovels on Rue de l'Argenterie, on the northern slope of the village. He joined them together and transformed them with the help of Eileen Gray. It was here, in Vézelay, that their collaboration took shape and deepened. The reworked openings, the integrated elements, and the office fitted out in the attic bear witness to the expertise they forged together in this village. Le Corbusier, a close friend of Badovici and a regular visitor to the house, wrote in *La Ville Radieuse* (1933): ?Everything is tiny, yet everything is grand. It is a setting on a human scale.' In 1936, Fernand Léger created a painting on the courtyard wall, now preserved at the Zervos Museum in Vézelay. Inspired by this, Le Corbusier in turn created his very first mural on a wall in the living room that same year, traces of which remain visible. This experiment convinced him. Badovici entertained frequently. Poets, artists, and writers frequented the house. Paul Éluard, who took refuge in Vézelay during the war, left behind an autographed poem, still visible in one of the bedrooms. A second poem, by Jean Follain, is also preserved in the house's living room. A SPACE TO MAKE YOUR OWN The property comprises two houses, each approximately 85 m² in size, spread over two levels, connected by a split-level interior courtyard that rises from Rue de l'Argenterie toward the second house on Rue des Écoles. Concrete, stone, and earth make up this intermediate space?both a passageway and a living area?where a flower garden would naturally find its place. The Badovici house features an attic of approximately 15 m², formerly the architect's office, identifiable from the street by the raised roof and its two vertical openings, to be converted as needed. A cellar, much older than the house itself, is ideal for storing wine. The space can be easily adapted to suit your needs without major renovations. AGENCY OPINION This house is ideal for a buyer with an appreciation for architecture and history. Its rarity stems from the convergence of several uncommon criteria: a central location in Vézelay, a documented and tangible history, a clear modernist identity, and real potential for appreciation.

Located 10 minutes from Auxerre, 1h50 from Paris and Dijon, discover La Bazine. Building from the late 16th century on the banks of the Yonne, every stone tells a story... and it's up to future owners to write the next chapters. A place of creation and meetings, La Bazine has long welcomed artists, festival-goers, theater troupes, directors, musicians, and authors enchanted by the unique atmosphere of this estate where people love to gather, share, and imagine. The arrival is via a bucolic path, ensuring total tranquility, bordered by two large ponds, one of which is part of the estate, leading to the gate of the property, enclosed by walls, on the banks of the Yonne. Once the gate is crossed, the inner courtyard reveals a harmonious architectural ensemble consisting of the main building, a second house, outbuildings, and a charming walled garden opening onto a vast tree-lined meadow along the pond. The main house immediately sets the tone: an impressive reception room of 100 m2 with a cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, stone walls, a majestic fireplace, and an ancient stone floor. A naturally conducive space for receptions, seminars, family gatherings, and moments of conviviality. The visit continues with a succession of warm spaces: the kitchen, dining room, cozy living room, the bedroom with its old bread oven, and its bathroom. On the upper floor, the mezzanine hosts the music lounge before opening onto the library. On a half-level, a bathroom completes the ensemble, then a very large bedroom with its magnificent framework reinforces the welcoming potential of the place. The second house retains all the authenticity of its origins. The former stables, sheds, barns, and attics have been redesigned to accommodate four bedrooms today, two of which are very large with four beds each, a bathroom, a water closet, and three lavatories. The main tower, a true emblematic element of the property, houses a charming room, worthy of children's dreams: the famous "princess room." The whole is complemented by several outbuildings and a plot with its pond, covering more than 3 hectares, still offering many possibilities. A true place of possibilities, La Bazine lends itself to many projects: family home, artistic residence, guesthouse activity, reception venue, weddings, private events, or even a more atypical project around the world of games, imagination, or immersive experiences. Renovations are to be expected in order to enhance the full potential of the estate (notably individual sanitation and insulation, with the existing advantage that all windows benefit from interior shutters) but the building is sound with its maintained roof and renewed electricity. I invite you to discover this unique place by appointment at 06 12 89 62 41, to take the time to discuss your project and imagine together the future of La Bazine.This description has been automatically translated from French.
