Description
Magnificent property located 2h15 from Paris (via the A6) and 6 km from Vézelay. Boasting a breathtaking view of the valley and Vézelay Abbey, this property offers a living area of 900 m², plus outbuildings. Dating back to the 19th century, it was built on the foundations of an old fortress and features four turrets probably dating from the 12th century. It presents very beautiful reception rooms, a large entrance, a dining room, a large living room, a small lounge, a library, a billiards room and smoking room, and a series of hidden rooms, all of which still feature their original materials, woodwork, fireplaces, ceramic stoves, parquet flooring, etc. A double staircase leads to the upper floors and down to the basement, which is also equipped with beautiful rooms including a large kitchen with fireplace. Upstairs, there are 12 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms (including 4 bedrooms in the turrets). It all sits on 5 hectares of landscaped gardens, complete with a French-style garden, a fountain, springs, a vegetable garden, an orchard, an aviary, a dovecote, outbuildings (including a caretaker's house), former stables and private woodland. An exceptional setting.
