luxury real estate with pool for sale Auxerre, France

A long tree-lined driveway leads to this property near Auxerre. Elevated on a moat-formed platform, it was built in the 16th century and later renovated in the 18th century. The estate comprises formal French gardens, wooded areas with centuries-old trees, streams, and ponds. No disturbances are to be noted. The four main buildings, including a fortified pavilion, encircle an elegant square courtyard. Three of them rise above the moat. The entrance to this courtyard is through a porch with traces of a drawbridge, which has withstood various restorations and remains a beautiful relic from the 16th century. It is protected by a large wrought-iron gate. The upscale restoration of the four buildings was done in keeping with the spirit of the place (stone, marble, tapestries, wallpapers from renowned houses) and the highest standards of modern comfort (internet, heat pumps combined with gas boilers, independent room and pavilion air conditioning). The four historic residences boast spacious reception rooms with beautiful fireplaces and bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, featuring refined sanitary elements that provide luxurious independence to each guest. The south facade of the main building opens onto the French gardens, accessible via a stone bridge over the moat. In the center of this extensive garden, a pond has been converted into a pool (heated by a heat pump) with water features and accompanied by a sauna. At the edge of the woods stands a small consecrated chapel. A meticulously cultivated orchard and extensive vegetable garden, designed for complete self-sufficiency, are irrigated by the abundant spring on the estate. At the property entrance, there are outbuildings converted into four accommodations (2 apartments and 2 studios) spread across two buildings restored in the 20th century, equipped with all modern conveniences. Each unit, perfectly isolated from the castle and its pavilions, enjoys complete privacy and private gardens. At the property entrance, an elegant secured garage has been designed to accommodate eight vehicles and provide maintenance facilities (car lift and resin flooring). In its center, there is a spacious exhibition area that will delight collectors of vintage models. The meticulously maintained property is fully secured with a video surveillance system.

A Napoleonic mansion in tree-dotted grounds nestled in a medieval winegrowing town in Burgundy, two hours from Paris. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte returned from his exile on the island of Elba, travelling up to Paris. He stopped off in Burgundy from 17 to 19 March. There he met up with Marshal Ney. His troops bivouacked on the outskirts of this town and on the site of this property. Almost half a century later, in 1854, during the Second French Empire, a family of Parisian magistrates built a town mansion here in a Napoleon III style. This mansion was transformed in 1980 and became a 25-room hotel. Today, each of the 25 hotel rooms here bears the name of a marshal who served under Napoleon I. The old dwelling is made of dressed stone and stands on a large avenue. Its slate mansard roof is punctuated with arched dormers and bull’s-eye windows. The property’s original metal railings still enclose it. Pillars of dressed stone are evenly spaced out along these railings, which stand on a low stone wall. The pedestrian entrance is a metal gate framed between two pillars of dressed stone, each crowned with a cast-iron vase. Beyond this gate, a footpath in the middle of a gravel court leads up to a small flight of stone steps adorned with a pair of Medici vases. Vehicles can enter the property via two other original entrances, which are broader. They are located on both sides of the pedestrian entrance and are framed between brick and stone pillars. A large two-floor caretaker’s house stands beside the outdoor entrance area. Nearby, around 30 cars can be parked in a car park on the property. The mansion’s rear elevation faces the property’s vast enclosed grounds dotted with majestic age-old trees and clusters of flowering plants. There are a few terraces on the grounds and an authentic stone table with old stone benches. This beautiful outdoor space includes a heated swimming pool too. This pool is 10 metres long and 5 metres wide. It is heated with mains gas. Lastly, there is an old greenhouse on the grounds. It is made of wrought iron and needs to be restored.

This former 14th century stately home recently renovated with taste and authentic materials, attention to detail, offers a journey to the heart of ultimate luxury, less than 2 hours from Paris.

They have a treatment room with hammam, sauna, massage, as well as a jacuzzi in one of the towers. A charming pavilion near the swimming pool is offered as a guest house.
