✍️ Description from the real estate agent

This beautiful historic villa, set within the vast and prestigious wine region near Mâcon, is currently operated as a Chambres d’Hôtes while offering many other possibilities. Preserved in its original state and thoughtfully adapted to modern needs, it retains its authenticity with elegance and respect.

Château des Poccards was built in 1805 by Viscount Maurès de Malartic as a tribute to his fiancée, a lady of Italian nobility.

Spanning 880 m², this unique castle has been recently renovated to a high standard, seamlessly blending modern comfort with timeless charm. Its architecture recalls some of the most beautiful châteaux of Tuscany. On the ground floor, a grand entrance hall opens onto several lounges and reception rooms adorned with fireplaces and parquet floors. A magnificent stone staircase rises to the first and second floors, where private quarters and nine guest bedrooms are located, each with its own bathroom.

The park, extending across approximately three hectares and home to remarkable centuries old trees, creates a serene oasis of tranquility. A 6 m x 15 m swimming pool enhances the outdoor experience, while expansive terraces and sweeping lawns invite moments of relaxation beneath the open sky. Several outbuildings, including a house to renovate, a garage, and a cellar, complete the estate.

This residence offers an exceptional starting point for scenic walks through the Grands Crus of Burgundy. Ideally positioned, it is 45 minutes from Lyon, 60 minutes from Beaune, 1 hour 30 minutes from Geneva by car, and only 1 hour 35 minutes from Paris by TGV, with convenient access to major motorways A6, A36, A39, A40, RCEA, and the TGV station of Mâcon Loché.

The villa may continue as a Chambres d’Hôtes, evolve into a boutique hotel, or become a distinguished private residence. It stands as a true gem of the region, rich in historical significance.
