A manor house and a swimming pool on 5,600-m² grounds, 30 minutes from a high-speed rail station, in the middle of a village within the Sâone-et-Loire department.
In the south of Burgundy, along the main Paris-Lyon-Marseille thoroughfare and ten minutes from the town of Tournus, which includes all essential shops and services for daily life, the house is located in the middle of a village, with views that extend all the way to the Sâone River valley and the Mâconnais vineyards. In addition, the Mâcon Loché train station, accessible in 30 minutes, makes it possible, via high-speed rail, to reach Paris in one hour and 51 minutes, Lyon in one hour and 15 minutes and Geneva in two hours.
From the street, a wrought-iron gate and a pedestrian door both open onto a wide central path, which, after ascending a flight of stone steps, leads to the house's front door. Built in the 17th century, the main dwelling, located in the middle of its tree-filled garden, was thoroughly reorganised in the 19th century, providing it with its current configuration. Rectangular in shape, the two-storey building's main façade, nearly symmetrical, is flanked on either side by two taller wings as well as a one-storey extension to the south, while the entire dwelling is topped with a barrel tile roof, typical of the region, and surrounded by a patio. Mostly enclosed by stone walls, the property also includes a swimming pool, slightly set back, and an adjacent summer kitchen, thereby creating a separate outdoor living space during the summer months. It should be noted that thanks to its meticulous upkeep and periodic renovations, the property is in overall good condition.
