A further 74 m² can be converted in the attic, which was previously used to accommodate the domestic staff. The L-shaped building is made of rubble stone as well as ashlar and is flanked at both of its ends by two wings and a round tower at the angle of the L, which houses the spiral staircase linking the two storeys. The mansion has a slate roof, supported by an oakwood roof frame, and is dotted with dormer windows boasting bullseye pediments and scroll decorative features.

Luxury home - Dop Makelaars offers: Chateau de Montmartin in Lavault-de-Fretoy, France. An exceptional estate on about 10 hectares in the heart of Burgundy! On the outskirts of the charming village of Lavault-de-Fretoy, tucked away in the beautiful countryside of Burgundy, you will find Chateau de Montmartin. Originally built in 1873 in Renaissance style, this breathtaking castle exudes history, grandeur and tranquillity. The estate offers a total living area of approx. 1,039M² and is located on an impressive plot of approx. 10 hectares with a beautiful forest, meadow and spectacular views over the hills of the Morvan. Here you can enjoy absolute peace, nature and privacy, while amenities are within a short drive. In the vicinity you will find cozy villages with local markets, atmospheric restaurants and nice shops. The chateau has a unique location on a hill with an old moat at the foot, presumably a remnant of a medieval fortification. The grounds surrounding the chateau were once part of the fief of Charles de Laval, lord of Lavault in the 15th century. In the centuries that followed, the domain changed hands several times, until it came into the hands of Pierre Jean Moreau, a local dignitary, in the 18th century. In 2007, the chateau was renovated with respect for its history, carefully preserving original details such as the panelling, wooden staircase, sandstone fireplaces and tower windows. Today, Chateau de Montmartin combines historic allure with modern comfort, a heritage location ready for a new future. The region is known for its beautiful walking and cycling routes, forests and lakes, including the popular Lac des Settons, just minutes away. This idyllic location offers the best of both worlds: a rural atmosphere with good connections to larger cities such as Autun (approx. 35 min), Nevers (approx. 50 min), Dijon (approx. 1.5 hours) and Beaune (approx. 1 hour). The distance from Utrecht is about 820 km, from Brussels about 600 km, Paris is about 280 km and Geneva about 300 km. The airports of Geneva and Lyon can be reached within approx. 3 hours. Chateau de Montmartin is also easily accessible via the motorways and the TGV network, with stations in Autun and Le Creusot as the nearest options.
