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.

A village house with a barn and land, awaiting a new lease of life, in the heart of Burgundy, between Avallon and Semur-en-Auxois. In the heart of the peaceful hamlet in which it is located, the house can be reached via the passing street, from which it is separated by a small wall. To the left, there is a large lawned area and a passage alongside the house leads to the rear, where there is a barn and the remainder of the land, overlooking the wooded countryside of the Morvan regional natural park. This square, three-storey house with three vertical rows of openings, was built in the 20th century in 19th-century style. The house is made of stone covered with ochre rendering and its façade overlooking the street faces to the southeast. It has rectangular windows set symmetrically around the entrance door made of solid wood, tempered glass and scroll-shaped wrought-iron. The window and door frames as well as the quoins are made of ashlar. The hipped, slate roof is underlined by a discrete moulded cornice. The house has already undergone a range of renovation works. On the opposite side, there is a modest sized veranda adjoining the façade, standing next to a small construction with more sober façades of rendered stone and a gabled roof made of interlocking tiles. The interior of this annex still awaits renovation.

A former priory from the 13th century, listed as a historical monument and nestled in the Morvan regional nature park in Burgundy. Saint-Jean-des-Bonshommes priory was a monastery that was part of the Order of Grandmont. It was built at the start of the 13th century where an antique sanctuary once stood. Anséric VI, Seigneur of Montréal, ordered construction of the edifice. The monastery underwent the French Wars of Religion in the 16th century. And in 1772, when Pope Clement XIV disbanded the Order of Grandmont, it was made available to the diocesan archbishop. Following the French Revolution, the monastery was sold as national property in 1791 and became a family property up to 1846 when it was damaged by a fire that destroyed most of the monastic buildings. The church, however, survived this fire. In 1880, it became a source of stones as building material, rather like an open quarry. Moved by this fate, a learned society acquired the edifice in 1905, requested that it be listed as a historical monument and set about restoring the edifice. The remaining church is characteristic of the architectural principles of the Order of Grandmont. It is the most imposing edifice in this monastic complex. It has a plain elevation without a door, a single nave and a closed chancel, beneath a brick barrel vault that stretches to a half-dome above an apse with three windows. The chapel’s elevations are made of different stones. The lower ones, evenly sized, are neatly carved blocks and the upper ones, raw rubble stones, lie where the vault rises up. The apse is ornamented outside with four elegant built-in columns. The remains of the monastic buildings have been preserved, including the cloister arches, the elegant arcades of the chapterhouse and part of the walls of the pantries and refectory. The church has a roof of barrel ties, with conical tiles for the apse, made in a local tile factory.

Three authentic homes in a haven of nature. Country houses in the heart of the Morvan. On the wooded hills of the Morvan, within a small, unspoiled hamlet, lies a rare gem. Three stone buildings form a harmonious and independent ensemble, designed to accommodate the diverse lifestyles of a single family or multiple projects. In Saint-Martin-du-Puy, this peaceful country house offers a different vision of everyday life, one of rich silences, simple sharing, and a deep connection to the landscape. With its vast wooded grounds, south-facing swimming pool, and carefully renovated spaces, it embodies everything one expects from a second home near Paris: comfort, space, and a chance to disconnect... without losing touch with the rhythm of life. It is a property built to last, to inhabit, to pass on, and to entertain. Three houses, one soul. Behind the golden stone facades, each house seems to tell a different facet of the same story. In the largest house, generous volumes, antique beams, fireplaces, sculpted staircases, and noble materials create a warm and inviting haven. The patina of time is palpable, combined with the efficiency of a smart renovation. A high-end kitchen, discreet home automation, and spacious bedrooms: a restrained elegance designed to last. The two other buildings, more compact but equally refined, extend the spirit of the place with the same coherence. Perfect for welcoming family, friends, or guests, they form a cohesive and comfortable living space, designed for conviviality without sacrificing privacy. A house with a swimming pool in the Morvan region, where every space breathes light and comfort. A vibrant park, designed for sharing. Outside, nature echoes the architecture. A flat, wooded, and structured park unfolds over three hectares of meadow and greenery. It features a vegetable garden, several outbuildings, large stone terraces, and a perfectly integrated, secure heated swimming pool, ready to welcome the warmer months. The living spaces flow seamlessly together, allowing everyone to find their own space between shade and light. This rural estate, easily accessible from Paris, provides a vibrant setting for weekends, holidays, or those planning a life immersed in nature. It's a peaceful country house, both authentic and functional, where simplicity is tempered with high standards. The Morvan as a point of equilibrium. The hamlet of Vesigneux, overlooking the village of Saint-Martin-du-Puy, offers a rare respite. Here, in this corner of the Nièvre region, the Morvan Regional Natural Park unfolds its deep forests, hiking trails, and secluded valleys. Avallon and Corbigny are within easy reach, as are Paris and Lyon, accessible in just a few hours via major highways. This house with a swimming pool in the Morvan is thus situated in a rich and unspoiled region, both secluded and accessible, natural yet vibrant. An ideal environment for those seeking a deep connection to nature, without sacrificing their connection to the world. Agency review: It's rare to find a property so cohesive in its structure and spirit. Three houses, a swimming pool, a park, well-appointed amenities, and well-managed rental potential: this peaceful country house embodies the idea of a place where everyone can live at their own pace. It would suit a family wishing to share the same land or a small-scale hospitality project. A second home near Paris that is both charming, functional, and inspiring.

Réf. 4866: Charming château near Avallon (Yonne) – ideal for a hotel business The château is situated in the Yonne department, in Burgundy. It lies at the heart of the Morvan Regional Nature Park, between the towns of Avallon and Vézelay. The château is set in the rural, rolling countryside typical of the Morvan, at an altitude of around 230 metres, in the midst of extensive wooded grounds. This location provides a peaceful, leafy natural setting, ideal for nature and heritage tourism. It is an excellent base from which to explore the treasures of southern Yonne and the Morvan. The main tourist attractions nearby are: The Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene in Vézelay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The historic town of Avallon. The natural landscapes of the Morvan Regional Nature Park. The Chapel of Saulce-d’Island, a remnant of a former Templar and Hospitaller commandery. Numerous hiking trails, horse riding routes and Burgundian heritage sites. Two architectural periods thus coexist: a section dating from the 15th century, comprising a rectangular main building flanked by a rectangular tower at the front and a round tower at the rear; and two projections on the façades, one of which connects to the late 18th-century extension, consisting of a large rectangular structure with numerous windows, the east gable of which features two round towers. The corner buttresses are made of stone, as are the window towers. The roofs of the main buildings are covered with flat tiles; the roofs of the towers are slate. They are regularly maintained. The façades are covered with an old lime render. The current owners have converted this château into a commercial venture comprising, to date, around 25 rooms, flats and holiday cottages. A restaurant was in operation. The chateau covers an area of approximately 1,500 sqm: The ground floor (with 3-metre-high ceilings) comprises a reception room, a dining room (45 sqm) with a large stone fireplace, a professional kitchen, storerooms, a private flat (80 sqm), a lounge/billiard room and bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. French windows provide direct access to the grounds. From the double-length hall, a stone staircase leads to the first floor, which is the main floor, with a ceiling height of approximately 3.5 metres. To the right is a large, double-length reception room of approximately 70 sqm, featuring a French-style ceiling painted with decorative motifs; the walls are entirely panelled in late 18th-century woodwork, and the floors are laid with parquet. The rest of this first floor has been entirely converted into around ten bedrooms and bathrooms. They have retained their original features, such as marble or stone fireplaces, parquet or terracotta tile floors, and partial or full panelling. The numerous windows flood the space with light. The second floor comprises a dozen bedrooms and bathrooms. The 18th-century section is partly in the attic. Here too, certain original features have been preserved. In the 15th-century section, a third attic floor houses a 45 sqm seminar room and four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Beautiful exposed beams are visible. Outbuildings : They cover an area of approximately 500 sqm. They are situated on the north side of the courtyard. The first brick buildings were formerly stables; the central section has a first floor and could be converted into a self-contained flat. The second building is certainly older. It is more imposing and comprises a ground floor housing, amongst other things, a workshop and various utility rooms, and an upper floor partly converted into a holiday let. They are in good visible condition. These buildings offer potential for further development. The grounds cover 21 acres of which approximately 6.2 hectares are landscaped as a park. The main entrance is through a large wrought-iron gate leading into a spacious courtyard serving all the buildings. An old entrance on the south side opens onto a majestic avenue of chestnut trees, aligned with the château. From this avenue, one emerges onto a vast expanse of greenery, flanked on either side by meadows offering stunning views of the countryside and the foothills of the Morvan. There are some beautiful trees on the grounds. There is a small pond near the outbuildings. The whole property is idyllic, charming and completely free from any nuisance.

The bedrooms, spread over two levels, each have their own character: exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and antique terracotta tiles. Five suites with en-suite bathrooms offer comfort and privacy, where large mirrors framed in dark wood contrast with the lightness of the stone and play with natural light. The whole property presents the potential for a hospitality or tourist accommodation project. The finishes reflect meticulous attention to detail: Burgundy stone, solid wood, and wrought ironwork, where every detail strikes the perfect balance between authenticity and modernity. BETWEEN STONE AND TRUFFLE TREES The property, spanning over 8,000 m², stretches behind the house across gentle slopes. The main terrace, facing south, invites al fresco lunches, while a swimming pool, a wooded area, and a truffle grove of 175 trees create a vibrant and sensory landscape. The garden is a natural extension of the house. An outbuilding, a workshop, and a convertible attic offer rare potential for expansion. The entire property exudes freedom and simplicity, with the Saussois cliffs, the 12th-century church steeple, and the murmur of the nearby canal as a backdrop. AN EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION IN THE HEART OF BURGUNDY Merry-sur-Yonne, a charming village in the Yonne Valley, is situated at the crossroads of Burgundy's great landscapes: Vézelay and its UNESCO-listed basilica, the vineyards of Chablis and Irancy, the forests of the Morvan, and the paths of the Nivernais Canal and the Way of St. James.

Dans cette grande demeure chargée d'histoire , l'unique est seule maison qui fait face à la Basilique St Marie Madeleine

Just 2 hours from Paris via the A6 motorway and 15 km from the village of Vézelay, this property sits on over 7 hectares of land adorned with ancient trees and surrounded by steep wooded hills guaranteeing its privacy. A residence of both great elegance and subtle discretion, it is composed of two main buildings: the Grande Maison and the Pavillon. A large central square welcomes visitors and leads to the main courtyard, decorated with a small fountain, which separates the two houses. The Grande Maison includes all the main living areas, as well as four magnificent suites housing a total of eight bedrooms, each with a different colour. The most iconic rooms include: - the dining room, with its sideboard for carving hunting trophies, its immense fireplace for roasting them and its banquet table for serving them; - the music room, reflected in the water of the lake, which has retained its majestic piano for private concerts; - the writing room, all in woodwork and boasting a view of the grounds and the waterways; - and the library, situated in the tower and presenting a solid oak mezzanine affording aerial views of the main courtyard. The interior of the Grande Maison honours the great Burgundian architectural and decorative traditions: Burgundy flagstones decorated with cabochons in the reception rooms, cut stone fireplaces, sculpted oak bays, Puisaye pottery and the omnipresent symbol of the scallop shell, testament to pilgrimages to Vezelay and Compostela. Opposite the Grande Maison is the Pavilion, a cosy independent dwelling including a large living room, three bedrooms (including one in a tower), and a south-facing dining terrace. In the immediate vicinity of the main house, you will also find: - an artist's studio that once served as a painting and sculpture workshop (some of the sculptures, such as the Lady of the Lake, are still present in the house); two large stables from which to explore the surrounding hills, which are covered in trees and full of game. Beyond the character of this large residence, one can also hear the trickling of the river and its waterfalls, the main fountain and the Serpentine, which flows over the granite pebbles of its mossy bed. Herons and wild ducks still frequent the house and fish in its fish-filled waterways. The Gouffre has a depth of 3 metres, allowing for refreshing swimming all summer long. The garden has been designed for outdoor living and to take advantage of the magnificent light in each season. The large field is ideal for making bonfires at sunset while savouring the delicious appetizers and wines of the surrounding valleys. Vézelay and its Colline Eternelle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is only a few kilometres away. At Le Moulinot, there are many things that remain to be discovered, but just as many are yet to be invented.

A secluded address in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Just 2.5 hours from Paris, atop the hill of Vézelay, a UNESCO World Heritage village, lies an exceptional property whose rarity surpasses the usual market standards. Formerly the residence of the Bailiff and the birthplace of Theodore Beza, this 15th-century property embodies several centuries of French and European history. Listed as a Historic Monument (with its façades and roof), it represents a remarkable and perfectly preserved architectural testament. Organized around an intimate inner courtyard, the property boasts a unique composition: an octagonal tower with a stone spiral staircase, a Burgundian gallery, a separate guest house, and a terraced garden offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The private mansion offers approximately 250 square meters of living space and retains period features of exceptional quality: mullioned windows, monumental Renaissance fireplaces, niches, an old well... every detail tells a story. A meticulous restoration, carried out with great care over nearly two years, has revealed the soul of the property while providing the comforts necessary for contemporary living. On the ground floor, a spacious reception room of approximately 70 square meters, designed for entertaining, includes a fully equipped and functional kitchen and a bathroom. Upstairs, accessible via the tower, three bedrooms, two with monumental Renaissance fireplaces, a shower room, and an anteroom with a bathroom create a distinctive sleeping area. The top floor houses a spectacular attic, reaching nearly eight meters in height under the rafters, offering rare potential for conversion in this type of property. The independent guest house (approximately 70 sq m), accessible from the courtyard or the Burgundian-style gallery, offers a self-contained space blending authenticity and comfort: a living room with a bread oven and French-style ceilings, a bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and storage. Set on a 630 sq m plot, the property boasts a west-facing terraced garden with panoramic views over the valley, a true haven of tranquility in the heart of the village. The property benefits from excellent accessibility: access to the A6 motorway approximately 15 minutes away (Avallon), providing direct links to Paris and Lyon; Sermizelles-Vézelay train station approximately 10 minutes away, with connections to Paris; and access to Parisian international hubs in approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes.

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.

Le Moulinot is an old mill on the tributaries of the Cure, the oldest parts of which date back to the late Middle Ages and were converted into a manor house in the 16th century. The estate has always been at one with water: its reservoir forms a small lake, feeding both the mill, now a turbine that supplied electricity to the village, and the numerous ponds that transformed it, for a time, into a fish farm. Crossed by 4 private streams, the estate is a masterpiece of hydraulic engineering, which has been transformed into a magical aquatic setting. First a holiday home, then the main residence of the family that has lived here for almost 50 years, it extends over more than 7 hectares of parkland covered with century-old trees and surrounded by high, steep wooded hills that guarantee its privacy. A MASTER'S HOUSE of over 500-sqm This is a residence of great elegance and subtle discretion. It comprises a large central square, which houses the 2 main buildings, the Grande Maison and the Pavillon. A large porch leads into the Cour d'Honneur, adorned with a small fountain, which separates the two houses, each guarded by its central tower. The Grande Maison houses all the ceremonial rooms, as well as 4 magnificent suites with a total of 8 bedrooms, each decorated in a different colour. The most emblematic rooms include - the Dining Room, with its sideboard for cutting up hunting trophies, its huge fireplace for roasting them and its banqueting table for savouring them; - the Music Room, which is reflected in the water of the lake and has kept its majestic piano for private concerts; - the Writing Room, all wood panelling with a view over the park and the waterways; - the Tower Library, with a solid oak mezzanine from which you can enjoy aerial views over the Cour d'Honneur.   The interior of the Grande Maison showcases all the great architectural and decorative traditions of Burgundy: the Burgundy flagstones adorned with cabochons that decorate the reception rooms, the ashlar fireplaces, the sculpted chēne bays, the many Puisaye potteries and the omnipresent Saint-Jacques shell, which bears witness to the pilgrimages to Vezelay and then Compostela. Opposite the Grande Maison is the Pavillon, a self-contained dwelling with all the comforts of a cosy home, including a large living room, 3 bedrooms (one of which is in a tower) and a south-facing garden terrace where you can eat outside almost all year round. Immediately adjacent to the main building are - an artist's studio that was used as a painting and sculpture studio - some of these sculptures, such as the Lady of the Lake, are still in the house. - the outbuildings, which housed 2 large stables for walks in the surrounding hills, full of trees and game. THE MAGIC OF WATER But above and beyond the character of this grand residence, the river and its waterfalls, the Fontaine aux 10 Lions and the Serpentine flowing over the granite pebbles of its mossy bed. Herons and wild ducks still frequent the house and fish in its fish-filled streams. In particular, the 3-metre-deep Gouffre offers a refreshing dip all summer long. The garden has been laid out so that you can live outside and enjoy the magnificent light every season. The large field is ideal for large flambées at sunset, while enjoying delicious snacks and wines from the surrounding valleys. Vézelay and its Eternal Hill, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are just a few kilometres away. There is still much to discover here, but just as much to invent
