MILLÉSIME – Côte de Beaune – Santenay 

19th-century property of character, to renovate.

Twenty minutes south of Beaune and thirty minutes from Le Creusot TGV station, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune vineyards, this rare property offers nearly 440 sq m of living space set within a 3,500 sq m landscaped park, in an appellation village with all amenities close at hand.

The main residence, built in stone in 1875 and extended in 1917, sits above a basement with vaulted cellars and unfolds across four levels of generous volumes: a dual-aspect reception room with fireplace, an open-plan kitchen-dining room opening onto a terrace overlooking the grounds, several bedrooms including one with a balcony, and convertible attic space. The basement comprises vaulted cellars, a workshop, a boiler room, and a summer kitchen.

Opposite the main house, an outbuilding houses a garage, cellar, workshop, and attic, with parking for three vehicles.

A 95 sq m village house completes the ensemble. With its courtyard and vaulted cellar, it offers an ideal configuration for independent living — whether for a caretaker, a family member, or entirely autonomous use.

The 3,500 sq m landscaped grounds — featuring a purple beech, maples, a catalpa, a magnolia, fruit trees, a well, and natural springs — form an exceptional natural setting. A terrace sheltered by an Art Nouveau canopy overlooks the whole, opening onto a romantically styled garden surrounded by vine-covered hills.

The architectural character is entirely intact: multi-pitched slate roof, Art Nouveau canopy, ironwork details, dressed stone surrounds, Hungarian-point oak parquet flooring, encaustic cement tiles, marble fireplaces, rosette ceilings, moulded cornices, and sculpted friezes. These elements form both the heritage value of the property and the raw material of an ambitious renovation project.

The ensemble calls for a singular life project: a prestigious family secondary residence, a high-end guesthouse or maison d’hôtes, with the village house serving as a primary residence or staff accommodation. The location — classified vineyard, proximity to Beaune, TGV access — further strengthens the appeal of the site.
