GY, Centre-Val de Loire 70700

Located a few steps from Gy, in Haute-Saône, this eighteenth-century character residence stands out as a rare piece of history in the heart of Burgundy Franche-Comté. Listed in its entirety as a Historic Monument, this unique architectural ensemble extends over an enclosed park of more than 5000 m2 embellished with a conservatory orchard and majestic trees. Built around 1760 for a councillor to the Parliament of Franche-Comté, this noble property, with the appearance of a private mansion, has preserved its authenticity and its original attributes through the centuries. The main house, built of stone under a high flat tiled roof, reveals beautiful volumes spread over three levels. A sixteenth-century tower, a vestige of an earlier era, houses a spiral staircase that leads to the entire building. The garden level houses a deep vaulted cellar, once a wine cellar, as well as an old kitchen with monumental Burgundy flagstones, where a stone fireplace equipped with a wood stove sits. On the noble floor, the magic happens through a row of reception rooms. The ceremonial room retains its original stuccoes with country motifs and its herringbone oak parquet floors. The windows, adorned with their blown panes of glass and interior shutters marked by history, cast a soft light on the carved woodwork and the Sampans stone fireplaces. Four maid's rooms to renovate occupy part of the attic, while a large volume under the exposed framework offers considerable additional development potential. The exteriors invite serenity in a preserved green setting. The pleasure garden, arranged around a circular parterre and a hundred-year-old weeping willow, dialogues with the outbuildings. The latter, composed of an eighteenth-century dovecote, a barn and a former staff quarters, complete this estate full of soul. This atypical property benefits from a peaceful environment, while remaining in the immediate vicinity of Gy and cities of character such as Gray or Marnay. The urban centres of Besançon, Dole and Vesoul can be reached in 40 minutes, and the Besançon Franche-Comté TGV station can be reached in just half an hour. This property represents a unique opportunity for history lovers wishing to invest in the preservation of an authentic French heritage. This stronghold of character, a true timeless refuge, awaits a respectful restoration to begin a new chapter in its history. Property listed as a Historic Monument, exempt from DPE.
