SOMETHING SPECIAL


A debut listing from our new agent Lionel Côte in the Bresse/Jura region brings a rather special townhouse to the market. For those who want to live the life of ‘lord of the manor’, then this is for you…
SOMETHING SPECIAL: Manor house
Located 20kms to the southeast of Dijon, this property is to be found in Genlis in the valley that separates the vineyards of East Burgundy and those close to the German / Swiss borders.
Situated near the centre of the town, this magnificent, fully renovated and maintained three-storey manor house has tons of character including a magnificent living room (71 m²), 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with WCs.
This is living in style gone large! You feel like the ‘lord of the manor’ as soon as you open the remote-controlled electric gates, revealing a vast courtyard and an exceptional walled garden setting of 2880 m² which is enclosed by trees, and yet all the amenities that you need are only a five-minute walk away (Ed: no exaggeration!)
Standing there at the gates, on your right is the imposing house with an impressive drive-in basement, the entrance to which is a large garage, comprising several rooms (cellar, sports room, and a storeroom).
On the ground floor of this lovely home is the living accommodation, access to which is via a few steps leading onto a raised terrace with views over the grounds and a stream. The house has 238 m² of living space comprising: a fitted kitchen, and a large living room, with the option of a bedroom, a shower room with a walk-in shower, and a separate WC. On the First floor, there is a lounge, and a further 4 x bedrooms, including a master suite with en-suite shower room and WC. Completely renovated about seven years ago it has been re-roofed with a new framework and tiles – this area now includes an attic.
This is a straight move-in with no work to be done. If you want a small project to idle away a few hours per week while enjoying this luxurious home, then there is a stone-built outbuilding (40 m²), currently used as a reception and storage area, but which could be converted into a small separate dwelling, such as a gîte.
