Tastefully restored, it combines old-world charm with modern comforts in a preserved rural setting. Burgundy, a region renowned for its rolling landscapes, forests, vineyards, and art of living, gives this house an authentic and revitalizing setting.

The property is arranged around an enclosed garden divided into three spaces, enhancing the privacy and conviviality of the space.
