Ref.4299:Property for sale in the Saône et Loire french department.

From this large, bucolic residence with its east-west exposure, you can look out over the gently rolling hills of the Autunois region (southern Burgundy) without a trace of modern times. A cedar, more than a hundred years old, marks the nobility of the premises. The Manoir is surrounded by green meadows, crossed by small streams whose meandering paths break with the straight lines of the hedgerows. Nature is gentle here, with its undulating landscapes marked by the hand of man. 600-700 metres from the property, a small rural village full of charm with its church, inspired by the religious architecture of Cluny, has a café-restaurant with a very pleasant terrace in fine weather. The property is located 10 km from Autun, with all the shops you need, and less than 40 km from the TGV station, which takes 1 hour 20 minutes to reach Paris. Geneva is 2 hours 30 minutes away by car.

The main building provides around 500 sqm of living space, and the house has plenty of natural light thanks to its many windows. There are
Ground floor
The ground floor comprises a kitchen with old terracotta floor tiles, a dining room, a 45 sqm living room in recent Burgundy stone with a fireplace and a room in the front. In the kitchen, a beautiful vegetable garden was once used to heat up dishes. The dining room, very pleasant with its old cement tiles in shades of grey and blue, has a beautiful alcove that could house a sculpture. There is a toilet in the south wing. A cellar is accessible from the ground floor.
First floor
The first floor comprises 6 bedrooms, including two interconnecting bedrooms on the north side with wooden shutters, and three bathrooms with baths. In addition, two shower rooms with showers and toilets have been renovated, as well as a separate toilet. The back bedroom, on the east-facing side, has a beautiful chequered parquet floor. From the first floor, the south-facing staircase leads to two attic bedrooms under the roof.

2nd floor
This floor has 2 bedrooms, one on the east side and the other in the tower on the south side. There is also an attic storage area and a very beautiful, renovated games room, with a cathedral-style ceiling adorned with beautiful beams that form a geometric criss-cross pattern. You can still see the wooden pegs. From here, a staircase takes you to the top of the tower, now occupied by an office. The space is very bright, even in the middle of winter. The view is far-reaching thanks to the 5 windows overlooking the surrounding countryside. It's a great place to work with peace of mind and to "get a bit of height", without a doubt. In summer, you can access the highest point of the Manoir, a 14 sqm neo-medieval terrace, with its crenellated concrete. It is served by a small staircase leading to the study. The sun will be your only companion, in complete privacy.

There is a possibility of a gite or bed & breakfast in an outbuilding shared with the neighbouring farm. It comprises a dovecote, a garage for 3 cars, a woodshed, a shed on the ground floor, two rooms upstairs and an attic. A vaulted cellar in the basement of the outbuilding, accessible from the outside, could be used as a wine cellar. A tennis court is in need of renovation. Situated slightly below the main esplanade, it does not disturb the view over the surrounding countryside.

The property is surrounded by 3.20 acres of parklands. Triangular in shape and gently sloping, it is bordered at its southern end by the small road leading to the village. There is no noise pollution from the (very limited) road traffic. The park features a number of ancient trees, including a cedar and a 450-year-old pendulous beech of imposing size. The swimming pool, measuring 10 x 5 m, is located on the south side of the park.
