An 18th-century chateau near Beaune, in the peace and quiet of the Burgundy countryside, surrounded by majestic topiary trees and 15 hectares of parklands, meadows and woods. The history of the chateau dates back to the 17th century, when a fortified house with a moat and a hunting lodge were first documented. In the 18th century, the lord of the village gave it a chateau-like appearance by adding a main building topped by long-pitched hip roofs clad with flat tiles, as well as two small wings, one of which remained unfinished until the early 20th century. The garden level floor contains the dining room, fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, the larder, the toilets, a rest room, the access to the cellars and the service staircase up to the first floor, and numerous sitting and drawing rooms. The first floor houses 7 bedrooms, bathrooms and a drawing room. There is also a guest house and seven outbuildings in a row: a garage with sloping ceilings on the site of the former hunting lodge, a workshop, a barn, two stables and two sheds. Opposite the courtyard is a grape harvesting barn with a coach house.
This is an extraordinarily beautiful château and those otherworldly yew topiaries seal the deal. For sale for €1,800,000 via Patrice Besse.
