Master of the village in Burgundy

For you, city life is so 2019. That’s why you opted for a change of scenery. And you managed to persuade your husband to settle in the countryside. When you saw this estate, you saw your solution. A whole 18th century hamlet made up of a main house, five gîtes, a guest house, a swimming pool and a building for special events. Your inner architect was instantly won over by the authentic materials used to restore the property – terracotta floor tiles, exposed beams, blonde-oak framework – all given a modern touch with contemporary choices of colours and furniture. Your husband – who works in finance but is a gardener at heart – will throw himself into the upkeep of these seventeen acres of grounds. He could even set up that petting farm he’s always talked about.  Your teenage children will enjoy the son et lumière show at Saint-Fargeau château and love following progress in the experimental archaeology project at Guédelon Castle. And you’ll excel in the art of hosting, serving a marvellous spread for guests in the gîtes. Lunches outside in summer and open fires on the hearth in winter will become the norm. Perhaps that’s what real happiness is.
