Quiet Country House in Saint-Martin-du-Puy

Property Description

Two houses in the heart of Morvan

Second home in Saint-Martin-du-Puy

In a small hamlet overlooking the valley, this second home near Paris comprises two carefully renovated country houses. The old stonework, exposed beams, warm interiors, and large windows create an authentic setting, surrounded by greenery and light. The south-facing terraces extend the living areas towards a peaceful landscape, while the heated swimming pool and large wooded grounds invite you to enjoy a gentle lifestyle in tune with the seasons. Whether as a retreat or a family home, this property offers the opportunity to bring together family and friends, or to imagine a hospitality business in the spirit of the Morvan. Here, nature surrounds every moment, in an atmosphere of deep calm and refined simplicity.

Two houses, one spirit of tranquility
The two dwellings, separated by an old barn, have been renovated to preserve the character of the 19th-century buildings. Exposed stonework, terracotta tiles, beams, and custom woodwork: everywhere, authenticity is combined with contemporary comfort. The main house is organized around a large living room that opens onto the garden. The stove warms up winter evenings and the large French windows let in the morning light. The separate kitchen, furnished with handcrafted furniture, retains the atmosphere of a family home, both convivial and functional.

The bedrooms, simple and peaceful, evoke a simple and inspired life. Several suites with bathrooms allow guests or relatives to stay in complete independence. The second house follows the same codes: warmth, space, light, the perfect place to entertain, for a workshop or for a rental activity already underway.

A natural setting with a swimming pool and clearings
The grounds, covering almost three hectares, alternate between open spaces, gentle meadows, and groves. Stone terraces follow one another, offering plenty of places to read, have lunch, or watch the sunset. The discreetly integrated outdoor swimming pool adds a touch of summer lightness. The vegetable garden, mature trees, dirt paths, and views of the surrounding nature invite you to enjoy outdoor living.
The central barn, currently used for storage, could become a link between the two houses, a reception room, an artist's studio, a games room or additional guest accommodation. The convertible attic space offers further possibilities for other volumes and uses.

The Morvan as a backdrop
Located in a dominant position, in an isolated but inhabited environment, the hamlet offers a rare quality of life: calm, greenery, and unobstructed views of the forest and countryside. Just a few minutes away, the villages of the Morvan reveal their shops, markets, and trails. Avallon and Corbigny are within easy reach Paris and Lyon are accessible in 2.5 hours.
The lakes, forests, hiking trails, and nature park create a lively and authentic area, ideal for a quiet country home, a family retreat, or a nature-oriented tourist activity.

Agency opinion
This rare property, centered around a barn, offers exceptional potential: two renovated houses, a swimming pool, extensive grounds, and a preserved natural environment. It is an ideal property for a family wishing to share a vacation spot, or for a couple looking for a second home near Paris.
The possibility of acquiring the third house in the hamlet would allow it to become the centerpiece: a unique project combining a nature retreat, conviviality, and tourism potential.
