Corbigny, Burgundy 58800

A 14th-century fortified manor house set within a 17-hectare private estate Nestled in the unspoilt countryside of the Morvan region in Burgundy, this remarkable 14th-century fortified manor enjoys an exceptionally peaceful setting overlooking approximately 17 hectares (42 acres) of meadows with four private ponds. A truly unique property where history and nature exist in perfect harmony, offering an outstanding lifestyle just 3 hours from Paris and 1 hour from Avallon. Built around an impressive medieval tower, a lasting reminder of the property's defensive origins, the house has evolved over the centuries into an elegant family residence offering approximately 301 sqm (3,240 sq ft) of living space. It has retained all the essential elements of its historic character, including generous proportions, authentic architecture, a magnificent stone staircase, period fireplaces and an atmosphere steeped in centuries of history. The ground floor offers a series of beautiful reception rooms perfectly suited to both family living and entertaining. A spacious dining room, a welcoming sitting room, an exceptionally generous library, an independent kitchen, a utility room, together with an entrance hall and wide central corridor, create a harmonious and elegant living environment. Upstairs, the sleeping accommodation currently comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study and an additional room that could serve as a second sitting room, library or fourth bedroom depending on requirements. Three substantial attic spaces also offer considerable potential for further conversion, significantly increasing the property's accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions. The medieval tower houses a magnificent reception room with an impressive fireplace, undoubtedly one of the property's most remarkable features, while its majestic stone staircase stands as a powerful reminder of the estate's rich heritage. Outside, the former agricultural outbuildings further enhance the character of the estate. Three substantial barns and former stables provide excellent opportunities for storage, equestrian use, workshops or future conversion projects, subject to the necessary planning consents. The estate itself is one of the property's greatest assets. Its 17 hectares combine open meadows, natural woodland and four private ponds, creating an exceptionally tranquil environment ideal for relaxation, nature lovers and a wide range of outdoor pursuits. The property has been carefully maintained over the years. The roof is in excellent condition, PVC double-glazed windows have been installed throughout, heating is provided by a recent wood-pellet boiler with a four-tonne silo, the drainage system complies with current regulations, and high-speed fibre internet is available. Only cosmetic updating of the bedrooms and bathrooms would be required to bring the interiors in line with contemporary standards of comfort. A rare historic estate offering an exceptional combination of heritage, nature and authenticity, equally suited as a distinguished family residence or for a hospitality, events or country retreat project.
