Historic Estate – Former Farm of the Bellary Charterhouse – Over 15 Acres – Burgundy, France Hidden away in the unspoiled countryside of the Val de Bargis, Le Domaine du Châtelet is far more than a country property. It is a remarkable estate where more than eight centuries of history meet contemporary comfort, offering an exceptional lifestyle in the heart of rural Burgundy. Originally one of the agricultural estates belonging to the Bellary Charterhouse, founded in 1209, this outstanding property has been carefully restored with great respect for its architectural heritage. Set within more than 6 hectares (15 acres) of meadows, woodland and natural surroundings, the estate offers approximately 275 m² (2,960 sq ft) of living accommodation divided between two independent residences. From the moment you enter the property, the atmosphere is unmistakable. Traditional Burgundy stone buildings, clay-tiled roofs and wide open views across rolling countryside create a setting of complete tranquillity, with no immediate neighbours and absolute privacy. The principal residence occupies the estate's former stone barn, an impressive example of 18th and 19th-century Burgundian rural architecture. Built from local limestone with traditional stone quoins and thick masonry walls, the building retains all the character of its agricultural origins. Its most striking architectural feature is the magnificent full-height glazed opening, created within the original carriage entrance. This elegant contemporary addition floods the interior with natural light while preserving the authenticity of the original structure. Inside, the restoration has successfully combined historical character with modern comfort. Exposed stone walls, impressive oak beams, traditional timber framing and generous ceiling heights create an atmosphere that is both elegant and welcoming. The spacious reception room, combining the living and dining areas, opens onto the gardens through the spectacular glazed façade, offering uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. A fully fitted and equipped kitchen completes the living space. One of the property's most remarkable features is its exceptional single-level accommodation. The ground floor includes two beautifully appointed master suites, each with its own private shower room, providing outstanding comfort for owners and guests alike. The entire ground floor has been designed to offer full accessibility for people with reduced mobility (PMR), making the residence equally suited as a permanent family home or an exclusive hospitality project. Above, a substantial convertible attic offers exceptional development potential. Its generous proportions and impressive roof structure provide the opportunity to create additional bedrooms, further suites, a home office, artist's studio or leisure space, allowing future owners to tailor the property to their own vision. Facing the former barn, the second residence reflects the understated elegance of a traditional Burgundian farmhouse. Its rendered façade, natural stone surrounds, wooden shutters and traditional tiled roof blend perfectly into the historic setting while offering a completely independent living space. Beautifully renovated throughout, the cottage comprises a welcoming sitting room, a fully equipped kitchen and a utility room on the ground floor. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate WC. The entire guest house is sold fully furnished, allowing immediate occupation or operation as a luxury holiday cottage without further investment. The estate is completed by a collection of traditional outbuildings that preserve the spirit of the former farmstead, including a workshop, a magnificent vaulted wine cellar and a large covered terrace overlooking the surrounding countryside. Every building contributes to the remarkable architectural coherence of this historic property. The grounds extend across more than 15 acres, combining open pasture, mature woodland and a natural pond to create an idyllic landscape rich in biodiversity. Whether as a private family estate, an equestrian property or simply a peaceful retreat immersed in nature, Le Domaine du Châtelet offers an exceptional quality of life. Although immersed in nature, the estate also benefits from all the conveniences expected by today's international buyers. A high-speed Starlink internet connection provides fast and reliable broadband, making remote working, video conferencing and the management of an international business perfectly possible while enjoying the tranquillity of the Burgundian countryside. The quality of the restoration is also reflected in the property's energy performance. The principal residence benefits from an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rated C, while the guest house achieves a D rating, excellent results for historic stone buildings of this period. Modern features include a heat pump, high-efficiency wood-burning stove, thermodynamic water heater, double-glazed windows and carefully designed insulation, ensuring year-round comfort and energy efficiency.
