The Property

SETTING

The house is in the unspoilt and quiet village of Orches which is perched on a hilltop on the edge of the Burgundy vineyards and has spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, including, on a clear day, Mont Blanc. The village is 15 minutes from Beaune and surrounded by beautiful countryside and historic villages.

Originally built as a farm estate in the mid-19th century, the buildings comprise a limestone built farmhouse on two levels, with 2, enormous, vaulted wine "caves" underneath. Attached is a large stone barn, formerly used as stables for animals and then latterly for making local wine. The house is located on a quiet village road and has safe play areas.
