Why this property will seduce you
- Historic Protected Location: Confidential address within a UNESCO World Heritage site.
- Preserved Renaissance Architecture: Historic residence with intact period features.
- Exceptional Panoramic View: Terraced garden offering valley vistas.
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.
This property is ideal for clients who appreciate history, heritage, and a preserved natural setting, and who are looking for a prestigious second home, a high-end guesthouse or hospitality project, an artist or cultural residence, or an international heritage investment.
A place where you buy not just a house, but a piece of history.
