The House of Pimolles

Property Description

A MANSION IN PUISAYE

In Puisaye, homes that have been passed down through generations possess a unique identity. The Maison des Pimolles is one such home: its architecture evokes the region's past and history. Behind its 19th-century façade, nearly 380 m² of living space opens onto a one-hectare wooded park, complete with an outbuilding of approximately 100 m², a swimming pool seamlessly integrated into the garden, and a pétanque court. Just before the gate, the freely accessible municipal tennis court already offers a glimpse of the lifestyle this home has to offer. A place where one can easily imagine large summer gatherings around the table, family reunions, and the rhythm of the seasons that characterizes the Burgundian countryside.

A HOME THAT BELONGS TO THE LANDSCAPE
As you approach Mézilles, the road leaves the main thoroughfares to wind through the gentle hills of the Puisaye region. Here, hedgerows line the paths, tall trees rise like cathedrals above the roads, and the homes seem to have long since found their rightful place. La Maison des Pimolles comes into view around a bend in the road, set back from Mézilles' main street. Its bourgeois architecture evokes the elegance of 19th-century Burgundian mansions. Its proportions are balanced its windows and glass doors generously invite in light and the whole retains a simplicity that transcends the ages without ever losing its character. The renovation carried out in 2016 delicately complements this history. The original materials remain at the heart of the story: the subtle blend of hardwood floors and terracotta tiles, the exposed beams, the open fireplaces, and the spacious rooms give it an atmosphere that is as warm as it is airy. The living room becomes the heart of the home. Conversations flow freely here before the large windows facing the garden, while the kitchen, with its contemporary design, naturally complements everyday life.

A HOME DESIGNED TO WELCOME
The property offers a way of living where everyone finds their place: the entryway is flanked by a small living room and the dining room, both facing the garden, while a hallway leads to the kitchen, which opens onto a spacious living room?warmed by a fireplace?adjacent to the billiards room. The floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the terrace and the pool below. The eight bedrooms (including two suites with their own bathrooms), spread across the top two floors and accessed via bright hallways, provide ample space to welcome family or friends in equal comfort. To the west of the house, an outbuilding ready for renovation expands this capacity with multiple possibilities: independent accommodations for loved ones, a guesthouse, or a conversion project where hospitality would find a natural setting here.
The approximately one-hectare grounds blend seamlessly with the house. Century-old trees frame the views, and lawns adorned with rosebeds lead to the house or to the pool via the pétanque court. It is a garden where one can imagine reading in the shade of the oaks, playing, hosting gatherings on summer evenings, or simply strolling.

THE SPIRIT OF LA PUISAYE
Living at La Maison des Pimolles means discovering a unique region: a lesser-known corner of Burgundy where villages live in harmony with the seasons, and where Toucy offers shops, a remarkable market, and amenities just minutes away. A home where several generations come together, a refuge between town and countryside, a place where entertaining comes naturally. It could be transformed into a bed-and-breakfast or vacation rentals, building on its history and capacity to welcome guests. Some homes charm with their size. Others leave a lasting impression through the atmosphere they exude. Stepping inside this home will convince you once and for all of its potential.

THE AGENCY'S OPINION
We love homes that are rooted in their local character as much as in their architecture. La Maison des Pimolles possesses this precious quality. It is deeply embedded in the Puisaye region?its light, its landscapes, and its rhythm. The spacious rooms, the grounds, the outbuilding, and the recent renovation come together to form a harmonious whole, where one can easily imagine family life, a country home passed down through generations, or a welcoming retreat.
