Domaine Du Chateau

About this property

Framed by the gentle slopes of Burgundy landscapes, this remarkable 17th-century manor house has been brought back to life with care, craft and impeccable taste. What was once a crumbling relic is now a high-end country home set within 20 acres of private land. From its elevated position, uninterrupted views sweep across the valley.

Inside, the renovation balances heritage and comfort, preserving the character of the original building while introducing sophisticated modern touches. The main house features a striking reception room anchored by a centuries-old wine press and fireplace, alongside a warm and sociable farmhouse kitchen. Split over two staircases, the upper floor comprises four double bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom and air conditioning. Just steps away across the courtyard, a separate converted building houses two further ensuite bedrooms with air-conditioning, allowing this converted farmhouse to sleep up to 12 guests.

Outdoors, begin your day with croissants in the courtyard, linger over lazy lunches on the rear terrace, or sip aperitifs overlooking the pool below as dusk settles over the hills. The heated swimming pool and expansive grounds invite both play and pause, whether that’s a swim, a stroll through the gardens or a glass of local wine under the trees.

The property’s location is another jewel in its crown. Less than ten minutes from the villages of Nolay and Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune, daily essentials are close at hand, while the historic wine town of Beaune, just 35 minutes away, offers a wealth of gastronomic and cultural delights. Surrounded by some of Burgundy’s most revered vineyards, it’s the ideal base for wine-tasting adventures and relaxed rural escapes alike.

In an elevated setting surrounded by 20 acres of rolling Burgundy countryside with wonderful valley views, Domaine du Château is perfectly positioned in the Saône-et-Loire department between the celebrated wine towns of Beaune (27km) and Chalon-sur-Saône (30km). Whether you're relaxing by the pool or exploring the nearby vineyards and villages, this location brings together rural elegance with renowned gastronomic and cultural experiences.

Just a 10-minute drive from the property lie the towns of Nolay and Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune, where you’ll find essential amenities such as bakeries, small supermarkets, and local eateries. The historic village of Nolay, known for its timber-framed market hall, is also the starting point of the Voie des Vignes, a spectacular cycling and walking trail that winds its way through Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay, and Pommard on its way to Beaune and even Dijon. This route offers an unforgettable way to experience the heart of the Côte d’Or vineyards, passing ancient stone walls, scenic vine-covered slopes and timeless wine estates.

For wine connoisseurs, the region is a treasure trove of tasting experiences. Explore prestigious domaines along the Route des Grands Crus, or immerse yourself in the wine culture of Beaune, home to the iconic Hospices de Beaune and a wide range of excellent restaurants and markets. The walled town is not only a hub for Burgundy’s vinous heritage but also a charming place to spend a leisurely afternoon wandering cobbled streets and sipping fine wine in a pretty square.

Nearby Chagny (14km) offers another layer of indulgence, particularly on Sunday mornings when its vibrant market draws food lovers from far and wide. This small town also boasts Michelin-starred dining at Maison Lameloise, perfect for a memorable lunch or evening meal after a day of exploring the vineyards (book ahead!).

From leisurely countryside cycles to world-class wine tasting and picturesque village visits, Domaine du Château is perfectly placed for discovering the best of Burgundy’s famed wine country – all from the comfort of your own private sanctuary.
