Situated in the heart of the Morvan Regional Natural Park, this beautifully restored former Château de Cussy combines history, character and exceptional lifestyle appeal.

Dating from around 1850, the manor has been sympathetically renovated to preserve its original features while providing comfortable modern living. Set around a sheltered courtyard with breathtaking panoramic views, the estate includes a substantial six-bedroom home, two impressive barns with renovated roofs, additional outbuildings and productive gardens with fruit trees, vegetable plots and areas suitable for permaculture.

Previously run as a successful chambres d'hôtes with table d'hôtes and wine tastings, the property offers outstanding potential as a family home, holiday retreat or hospitality business.

Most furniture is included, allowing you to move in and immediately enjoy this remarkable Morvan estate.

Surrounded by the rolling hills, forests and lakes of the Morvan Regional Natural Park, this remarkable historic manor offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored country estate in one of Burgundy's most unspoilt settings.

Historically known as Château de Cussy, the property dates from around 1850 when it was built for a prominent local landowner, while the surrounding buildings housed the estate workers. Since acquiring the property in 2000, the current owners have carefully restored the manor with great respect for its history and architectural character, creating a warm and welcoming home that successfully blends period elegance with modern comfort.

Approached through an attractive entrance gate, the property opens into a charming enclosed courtyard that immediately conveys a sense of tranquillity and privacy. This sheltered space is perfect for outdoor entertaining, relaxing in the sunshine or creating a beautiful formal garden. The grounds include fruit trees, productive vegetable gardens and mature planting suitable for permaculture or the creation of a food forest. Several terraces positioned around the property allow you to enjoy both sun and shade throughout the day while admiring the magnificent views across the surrounding countryside.

The original front entrance remains beautifully preserved, although everyday access is naturally through the courtyard into the generous family kitchen. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen provides ample workspace and room to gather with family and friends.

Beyond the kitchen is a versatile reception room, currently used as a library and office, which leads into the magnificent principal sitting room extending the full depth of the house. Filled with natural light and centred around an impressive fireplace fitted with an inset wood-burning stove, this elegant room provides a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere throughout the seasons.

The ground floor also offers a spacious bedroom with its own private bathroom, ideal for guests or single-level living, together with the original entrance hall and staircase.

The first floor comprises two further bedrooms with private en-suite bathrooms together with three additional bedrooms served by a family bathroom, providing generous accommodation for family, guests or hospitality use.

Above, the substantial attic offers extensive storage space and excellent potential for future conversion, subject to the necessary permissions.

A full cellar extends beneath the house and includes a traditional wine cellar where the current owners hosted popular wine tastings, together with the boiler room and laundry area.

Outside, two substantial barns with renovated roofs and several additional outbuildings provide exceptional flexibility for workshops, storage, classic vehicles, hobbies or future projects, subject to the necessary permissions.

For many years the current owners successfully welcomed guests through a thriving chambres d'hôtes and table d'hôtes, serving meals prepared using produce from their own gardens. This lifestyle business could easily be re-established, while the property would also lend itself to wellness retreats, creative workshops, walking and cycling holidays or simply a magnificent family home in an outstanding natural setting. Subject to the necessary permissions, one of the outbuildings could also accommodate facilities for a small campsite.

Most of the furniture is included within the sale, allowing the next owners to settle in immediately and begin enjoying everything this exceptional estate has to offer.

Whether you are seeking an elegant permanent residence, a luxurious holiday home or a property with genuine tourism potential, this outstanding manor combines history, character, space and breathtaking scenery to offer an exceptional lifestyle in the heart of Burgundy.
