Located high on a hill above the charming town of Cluny, this extraordinary home dates back to shortly after the French Revolution when it was built by a Burgundian winemaker. Totally rebuilt and renovated two hundred years later, the property sits in three-acre grounds including a heated pool and Jacuzzi, and a poolhouse with full kitchen, stone fireplace and outdoor dining area. Topping it off are wonderful views over pastures and forests. The house, built with massive wood beams and stone and with both hardwood and tile floors, has been designed and decorated with no expense spared. From building materials and appliances to fabrics and furnishings, including fine antique pieces, it is exceptional in every way. A lovely entry hall opens to the living room with wood burning fireplace, terra cotta floors and comfortable seating featuring several sofas and easy chairs. An enormous picture window overlooks Cluny and the countryside. Adjacent to the living room up several steps is the French country kitchen -- open-plan to the dining area. This is a kitchen for both amateur and serious cooks, and it is equipped with every convenience including professional-level range, two ovens, large American-style refrigerator and a full range of quality pots, pans, utensils, china and cutlery. And it is a feast for the eye with beautiful granite counters and pale green wood and glass-front cabinets. A set of cabinets and marble counter separates with kitchen from the dining area with Florentine-tile table seating 8 people. Several steps lead from here to a den with a sofa and armchairs grouped in front of a large fireplace. This inviting room, with satellite television and full stereo system, also enjoys pretty views of Cluny and the countryside. It’s the perfect room for apéritifs with a glass and wood bar tucked in one corner. Off the bar is a half bath with toilet and sink. The library with writing desk and antique mantel, and equipped with a fax machine is next to the den. The house includes three elegant bedroom suites, each with ensuite bath or shower, sinks and toilet facilities. On the ground level is a bedroom suite with queen bed and beautiful bathroom with stall shower. Upstairs are two more bedrooms. The master suite with king bed occupies half of the upper floor and includes a gas-burning fireplace with carved antique limestone mantel. The room is carpeted and features a canopy bed and French doors opening to a balcony from which there are long country views. The ensuite bathroom is spacious and luxuriously appointed with a separate tub and marble shower as well as gold fixtures. Down the hallway is another bedroom with two large single beds in antique frames and ensuite bath with shower attachment. Adjacent is a sitting room with day bed, trundle bed and bathroom with shower. There are few words that do justice to this exceptional property. The best way to discover all its delights is to be there and experience it for yourself.
