Dijon, Burgundy 21000

A family house from the 19th century with 310 m of floor area and its 610-m garden in the Burgundy village of Fleurey-sur-Ouche, near Dijon. Named the 'Vieux Logis', or 'Old Dwelling', the property, located in the centre of the village, is included among the town's most exceptional historical buildings, alongside the Clos Martenot, the Domaine Prard and the Chateau du Prieur. Despite its central location, the dwelling is an oasis of peace and quiet, slowly waking to the rhythm of the comings and goings of schoolchildren and professionals, before being submerged once again within the characteristic tranquillity of village life. Built on the foundations of a fortified house from the 14th century, the Vieux Logis originally faced the farmyard. However, the property, reduced in size following several inheritances and subdivisions, including a recent subdivision in modern times that divided the residence in two, now faces the wall-enclosed garden, its ornamental outbuilding and, further off, the valley and town of Urcy.
