About this property

Beautiful 1850 Maison bourgeois with private pool, between Chablis and Beaune

Situated in the heart of Burgundy, with beautiful Landscapes and magnificent Vineyards, this lovely property is ideally placed within easy reach of Chablis and Beaune, and many famous attractions, rich in French History and tradition.

This wonderful 19th century Maison Bourgois, restored by the architect owner, has kept all its old charm with tiled floors and selected colours inside, now equipped with all modern amenities, which makes it cosy, elegant and comfortable.

The 5 bedrooms are spacious, decorated with antique furniture and silk curtains.

The dining room for 10 people is open to the lovely new but old-fashioned well-equipped kitchen, and with a huge gas oven that makes it a pleasure to cook Burgundian cuisine.

The living room has a huge stone fireplace, a grand piano and two double patio doors straight to the garden and the terraces with tables and chairs, to dine in the sun or in the shade under the terrace-roof.

This house is exclusively for you, with private pool and beautiful 4000 m2 - 40.000 sq.ft private landscaped garden, enclosed by stone walls.
The garden has big spaces for children, and a rich array of fruit trees and flowers – lilacs, roses, tulips.
The kitchen garden with lettuce, tomatoes and herbs is a delight.
Birdwatchers will love the sound of swallows and goldfinches singing.
The heated 5 x 10 meter swimming pool in blue mosaic is enhanced by the perfume of the lavender border.

On the grand piano in the living room you will find a map indicating where to buy, to dine, and what to visit.
WiFi installed.
Shops, bars and restaurants are all within walking distance, and a wealth of vineyards are a short drive away.

There are numerous monuments in the region to be visited - Vezelay, a hilltop village, famous for the St Magdalene Basilica - magnificent ! 25km from the house, and with many nice shops and restaurants in this medieval city. The Abbey of Fontenay is also in the region: both are listed by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.

Four bicycles are at your disposal; there are wonderful trails nearby for biking and jogging.

Many different châteaux such as Bazoches and St Fargeau are nearby, as well as the great vineyards of Chablis, Irancy, Côtes d'Auxerre, Beaune, Cote de Beaune and Côte de Nuit.
The region is sprinkled with art and history treasures. There are maps and guidebooks in the living room at your disposal.

You will also find TV, DVD player and CD system with a fine selection of classical music and jazz. There is a great selection of books on literature, art, architecture and more.

The property is easily reached by A6 motorway from Paris in less than two hours, or by direct train.

It is a lovely place and I invite you to read some of the visitors’ comments :
'There are not enough superlatives to describe the contemplative life we found here. We admired the intelligence displayed in the renovation of the house maintaining the integrity of the original and making changes that only enhanced the pleasures of the house. We wish you well and continuing enjoyment in the home you lovingly labored to bring back to life for the pleasure of all who reside here.'

Mr and Mrs D, New York

'This house is a splendid place to spend a week of family-time, away from our normal fast-paced, hectic lifestyle. The pool was just perfect for cooling off in the intense Burgundy sunshine. An experience not to be missed, thank-you for sharing your house!'

Bain Family, Cambridgeshire, UK

'Fantastic house, incredible garden and a beautiful setting. We have enjoyed the surrounding towns, Toucy and Vezelay especially and wine tasting in Chablis is not to be missed. Thank you so much for providing such a delightful residence.'

The Johnsons, Bolton, UK

Burgundy is the heart of French history, food and wine. With its castles and châteaux, museums and churches, vineyards and beautiful landscapes, it is like traveling in paradise on earth. In Burgundy buildings, food and wine are in complete harmony

Robyn August 2017 :
« We had a wonderful week staying in Jon's beautiful home. It's even more picturesque and quintessentially French than the pictures show and the grounds are enormous. Lots of space for two young families and very well equipped with everything we could possibly need, even a baby changing mat was offered! The kitchen is brilliant and has all the kit you might need, including some impressive Japanese knives (watch out - they're sharp!) and a lovely BBQ area to spend lazy evenings. Jon was a great host, offering lots of suggestions for things to do in the area and very prompt to response. The housekeeper, Anne-Marie, lives 2mins away and was delightful, she even came to help us with the gas for the hob one evening. Thank you Jon, we had a lovely time. »

Maison défraîchie mais très beau jardin
Très beau parc et cuisine bien équipée. Literie catastrophique (un lit tellement usé qu’il est inutilisable) - salles d’eau vétustes - toute la maison mériterait d’être rénovée - la piscine est très agréable mais la mosaïque se décolle.

Charme mesquin
La maison a du charme mais le confort et l'attitude mesquine du propriétaire sont inacceptables : 2 eme étage du niveau chambre de bonne parisienne (et encore...) , des stickers "privés" partout mettant mal a l'aise , quasiment aucun rangement , serviettes/drap/literie .. médiocres , petit électroménager ancien, sal et limite (le propriétaire avait caché son grille pain et sa machine expresso ..) , piscine chauffée a 21 degrés , 2 eme étage non chauffé a l'arrivée et thermostat general a 15 degrés ... nous sommes dans une situation de publicité mensongère ...

Dream holiday house
This house is an absolute dream! The garden is amazing and the house is very tastefully decorated. It has all the facilities you need for the perfect holiday in France. Upon arrival we had some miscommunication on where the keys could be found, but Jon was quick on the communication and he made sure we were able to find our way in the house and in the neighbourhood. The house is situated in a quite village and offers lots of privacy. Nearby the house there are plenty of nice villages (like Vélezay) and nature to enjoy. If you are looking for a quite place to spend your holiday this house will be the perfect match! We absolutely recommend this place.

Ideal for wine tasting
This is our second visit. The first was in 2016 and we can see the improvements that have been made over the past few years. An excellent property, ideally located for the wine regions we love in France.
