In the heart of the Burgundy region, this 17th-century house, with its outbuildings, swimming pool, and gardens, sits alongside the Ouche river. The property is located along the main road that runs through the village, close to the old railway line connecting Dijon and Épinac. The south-facing facade of the house is discreet, made of exposed stone, with five bays on the ground floor and six bays on the first floor. The stones of the facade bear witness to the house's partial origins dating back to 1635. A large dark wooden carriage door, framed in cut stone, marks the entrance to the estate alongside a small pedestrian door. Behind the porch, the view encompasses all the buildings that surround a large gravel courtyard, punctuated on the left by a terrace with Burgundy stone slabs and a green space at the foot of a building with three typical buttresses of a 13th-century tithe barn. The property has a rich history, serving as a chaplain's house under the authority of the Autun bishopric, a gateway to the village under the cover of a charter of manumission attesting to free trade, and the fief of the Archers' Brotherhood. In the past, it welcomed travelers who paid the toll to cross the river, which was once more substantial. During the Revolution, the property became a postal relay, taking advantage of the dovecote, stables, well, and bread oven. The village's first telephone booth was installed here before it became a restaurant and later a guesthouse. The property also features a stone farmhouse on the left side, with an entrance marked by a stone threshold leading to a simple door framed in cut stone and topped with a climbing rose. A stone-paved terrace, surrounded by a flower bed and bordered by a stone balustrade with openings, provides a pleasant living space close to the kitchen, dining room, and living room. To the north, a wall separates the garden and allows direct access to the vegetable garden and the building named "La réserve du Père Grivot." Further along, an old communal washhouse borders the property before giving way to the river that runs alongside the garden. Priced at 880,000, this property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Burgundian history and enjoy the tranquility of the countryside while being close to amenities and transportation links.
