The Elegance of a Place that Stands the Test of Time

Property Description

A bourgeois stone residence in the heart of Beaujolais wine country
This bourgeois stone residence sits in the heart of Beaujolais wine country, in an environment shaped by vines and the terrain. Built in the late 1940s, it adopts the codes of bourgeois houses of its era, with generous volumes, enduring materials, and a structured interior layout. The numerous openings offer direct views of the wine landscape from several rooms. The tree-lined grounds accompany the building without isolating it, forming a coherent ensemble between architecture and landscape.

Structured interior architecture
The house unfolds over several levels, organized around a central staircase ensuring a fluid distribution of spaces. Landings and half-levels nuance this organization, allowing zones to be distinguished without excessive rigidity. Reception rooms occupy the main level, while sleeping areas are spread over the floors. The volumes are balanced, ceiling heights comfortable, and natural light circulates generously, highlighting the floors and preserved architectural elements.

Preserved original elements
The interior architecture rests on careful preservation of many original elements. The old parquet floors in Herringbone pattern, present in several rooms, testify to the quality of construction and care given to materials. Woodwork, moldings, and antique doors extend this standard, revealing a finishing work characteristic of bourgeois houses of their time. Marble fireplaces occupy a distinctive place. All different in their design and proportions, they structure the rooms and recall a relationship to comfort and display typical of character houses.

An ensemble open to the wine landscape
Outside, the tree-lined and enclosed grounds develop in direct connection with the surrounding vineyard landscape. It alternates open spaces and shaded areas, offering different perspectives on the vines. A stone terrace naturally extends the living spaces.
Outbuildings, barn, workshop, and garages complete the ensemble and provide functional annex surfaces without altering the overall reading of the property. Located in Beaujolais wine country, the residence benefits from a setting recognized for the quality of its built heritage and landscapes, inseparable from the experience of the place.

Agency opinion
What first catches the eye in this bourgeois home is the quality of the built structure and how the original elements have withstood time without losing their integrity. The parquet floors, woodwork, and marble fireplaces still compose a coherent interior architecture faithful to the spirit of the house. Add to that a layout closely linked to the wine landscape, visible from the building and inseparable from the experience of the place. The whole forms a property rooted in its territory, where value rests primarily on the strength of the construction and on this direct relationship with Beaujolais.
