Actually two adjoining houses converted into one, our property offers a completely renovated modern interior, whilst still retaining the charm of some old exposed beams and stonework. The bottom level comprises garages, utility and laundry areas, with stone stairs leading up to the main floor. Here there is an expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, leading up to the main bedroom, bathroom, office area, and sitting room. The living area opens onto a spacious covered terrace with double barbecue and courtyard. Another flight of stairs goes up to the top floor where there is a landing leading to 2 more bedrooms, and another bathroom.
The house is situated on the edge of the village, just a few minutes walk to the centre, or a stroll through the local vineyards.

St Gengoux is a wonderful old mediaeval village with a 12th century church originally affilliated to the former 10th century abbey (now ruins) in nearby Cluny. There are two bistro-style restaurant/bars in the village and several shops, including bakers, butcher and general store, plus a large supermarket on the outskirts, and an extensive cave (wine warehouse).
The whole area is steeped in history with Romanesque churches, old public wash houses and châteaux, including the nearby sumptuous Château de Cormatin, open to visitors.
Nestling in the hills between forests and vineyards, this is a great place for walking and cycling too with the nearby Voie Verte, a converted old railway track, just a few minutes away.
Burgundy is a delight for wine lovers with some of the most famous Cote d'Or vineyards within an hour's drive.
Airports at Lyon and Geneva are within a couple of hours drive, and TGV stations at Macon and Montchanin 20-30Km distant.
