This lovely old farm has been a home on the hill since the 18th century and the features that have been preserved offer a reflection of life at that period. There are beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces, terracotta tiled floors, a stone staircase, a vaulted cellar and the list goes on. But this is not a museum but a modern day home. It has the comfort of water, electricity and a bathroom but may need other additions to bring it into the 21st century.
On the ground floor is an entrance hall, a living room where the old bread oven has become a feature, a sitting room with a traditional stone fireplace. A stone staircase leads up to two large bedrooms, a bathroom and toilet. In all there is about 200m2 of habitable space. The attic could convertible to additional accommodation. Beneath the house is a vaulted cellar.
Outbuildings include two good barns plus stables. There is just under an acre of gently sloping land with a little stream issuing from a spring.
The property is in the south of Burgundy, not far from the small town of La Clayette and about 1hr 15 minutes from the city of Lyon where there are good transport connections. © |
