Chambeugle, Burgundy 89120

Two traditional 19th century houses and their dovecote in the heart of the Ouanne valley in the Burgundy-Franche-Comt region. Surrounded by woods and cultivated plots of land, as though on an outcrop, the property overlooks the valley. In a hamlet of 65 inhabitants, 6 km from Charny-Ore-en-Puisaye, a small local road followed by a stone track leads to the main entrance which is tucked away from view. An automated metal gate opens onto a continuous stretch of lawned parklands that covers approx. 5, 000 m. Set at right angles to each other, the old barn divided into two flats and the traditional house are surrounded by a terrace. The dovecote is slightly set back. The fully restored complex lies in the centre of the parklands. The grounds comprise on one side a few tall trees and planted hedges, and on the other side flowerbeds dotted here and there, extending the view over the wooded valley. The flowers blossom to the rhythm of the crops. A small outbuilding and a well complete the complex.
