Maison sur Roche

Maison sur Roche is an attractive and spacious family home with a romantic, flat enclosed garden on 2200 m2 of land in the lovely hamlet of Layer sur Roche. It is located in the north of Burgundy, about 600 km drive from Utrecht. The regional town of Chatillon sur Seine is a 10-minute drive away, where all amenities are located.

Where the previous owners renovated the house largely and with respect for the authenticity, we recently finished it and modernized it a bit. 
The house and garden are suitable for one or two families and for groups of friends, but it is also pleasant to stay alone.

Maison sur Roche is located on the edge of agricultural fields, forest and some vineyards in a non-touristy area. Here you especially enjoy the peace, nature, the twittering of birds, walking and cycling. A limited number of small trips are in the area, more tourist trips are about a 40-minute drive away. In the immediate vicinity are a museum, a few chateaus, a few nice restaurants, from casual to a former star restaurant in a chateau and the very old chapel of the hamlet.

In and around the house, on the other hand, there is a lot to do. There is a lawn, orchard,  heated wooden swimming pool (with small deck at height), a trampoline, swing and climbing equipment, in the front garden a jeu de boules court (pétangue) under a shady tree (lovely with a drink at the end of the afternoon) and various outdoor and indoor games such as crocket, kubb, ladder golf, skittles, maxi jenga and various board games. There are also all kinds of toys for the youngest. A bookcase in one of the salons is well stocked with books for old and young in different languages. 

The garden is very inviting with idyllic vistas and the beautiful auvent (covered terrace) with fireplace is also a wonderful place to stay on cooler days . There are several seating areas and terraces in all corners of the garden with a number of hammocks and sun loungers. It is a garden where you naturally relax. The fruit trees and plants provide a lot of fruit that can be picked freely. 

In the fine house, the two lounges offer cozy space and privacy in two sitting areas (one with a wood stove), a large dining area, a workplace and a TV corner. The  kitchen diner is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need.
The four nice bedrooms all have new already made beds, oak wardrobes, linen and the master bedroom has a second workplace. 
The house is reasonably insulated and is fully heated by a fully electric heat pump.
The parking lot easily has space for 3 cars and there is a charging station for electric cars.
