Charolles, Burgundy 71120

In the sumptuous countryside of the Brionnais, the extreme South of Burgundy known for its rich pastures and its Charolais cattle, this property stands alone in its three acres of land, with a small private road leading to it. The area gained greatly in prosperity in the mid 18th century, and this can be sensed from the ample architecture of both houses. The main one, two-storeyed and with hipped roof, has spacious rooms and plenty of original features : a salon, living-dining room, kitchen pantry, bathroom Wc and storage room. Upstairs are three bedrooms, bathroom and Wc, while the attic above has been made into a games room and bedroom (another bathroom could no doubt be made here if desired). The adjoining barn serves as garage and boiler-room, and beyond it a former stable has become a billiard room.As for the second house, also two-storeyed but smaller and unrenovated, its high pitched roof (recently renewed) and untouched original architecture give it great charm. If no-one has lived here for a long time, the renovation will be a creative exercise and far from tedious. The views are splendid, the surrounding land gives the property good protection. The setting, as said earlier, is exceptional.
