Chapaize, Burgundy 71460

This fine manor-house, dating back to the 17th century, and beautifully restored, stands in two acres of land - and yet is in a village. A long stone wall allows only a cursory glimpse of the building and its courtyard from the village side, while at the rear the views are of uninterrupted fields and trees. The main house has a very fine salon with fireplace and library, a dining room, kitchen and office/occasional bedroom with bathroom, and the corner tower with its splendid spiral staircase gives access to the upper floors. On the first floor a bedroom with bathroom, and then a larger bedroom - also with private bathroom and dressing-room - which has magnificent ceiling beams. On the top floor a suite consisting of a salon with fine beams, a bedroom and bathroom. All the rooms are ample, with good original features - and not a false note anywhere. The adjoining outbuilding serves as sotrage, laundry room, boiler room, cellar, and also has a very large attic space. A separate barn, with direct access from the street, allows parking space for four or five cars, and also contains a woodshed.As for the garden, South-facing, it has a long terrace shaded by mature trees and is ideal for summer evenings. An exceptional property for its historical interest and the standard of its renovation.
