About this property

In the heart of rural Burgundy, where Charolais cattle graze in nearby fields, this charming 18th-century manor house has stunning views over the surrounding hills and woods of the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan.

Originally built as a hunting lodge, it was modified in the early twentieth century to become a summer residence for the long-standing owners in Dijon. The most recent owners have restored this historical residence with great sensitivity, respecting the wonderful handicraft across the manoir, furnishing the home with period pieces and also featuring calming pieces of masters and contemporary art.  What they have created is a characterful and graceful place from which to discover this stunning part of Burgundy.

With seven first-floor bedrooms, up to 12 guests can enjoy Manoir des Chasseurs; there is ample space across the vast ground floor with a choice of two living areas, a dining room and fully-equipped kitchen with modern features. The grand salon offers a relaxing place to unwind by the open-fire whilst the gentleman’s salon is a characterful room perfect for long evenings chatting, playing cards and enjoying excellent local wine. There’s also a romantic library with a fireplace and upstairs a sweet little living room with a sofa looking over the beautiful views from the house.

Outside you are greeted with an inviting swimming pool alongside a laid-back al-fresco dining area, perfect for long lunches with loved ones. Younger members of the family will love the rustic old farmhouse where you will find table-tennis, a trampoline and some other outdoor games.

Here you are in the heart of the rural Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan, a paradise for hikers and cyclists with trails crossing woodlands, hills, streams and hidden villages as well water-based activities such as rafting, canoeing, sailing and swimming along the park’s rivers and lakes. Despite this remote location, it’s only half-an-hour from the fascinating Roman town of Autun where you can discover its historical treasures or pick up some fine local produce at one of the weekly markets.



The spectacular Burgundy wine region is within easy reach from beautiful Beaune to historic Dijon. Follow the wine road, Route des Grands Crus, and discover little villages such as Pommard and Meursault alongside idyllic vineyards where you can sample wines from the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune regions.

This region is perfect for those who enjoy fine wines, amazing regional food and spectacular scenery; Manoir des Chasseurs is a unique and characterful home from which to experience this authentic part of rural Burgundy.

You can go horse riding through the spectacular scenery or take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage for a touch of luxury. There are also hot-air balloon rides leaving from Autun (24km) an amazing way to see some of the breath-taking vistas around you.

Head to Mont Beuvray (14km) in the wooded hills where you will not only finding outstanding natural beauty but also the brilliant Bibracte, which tells the history of ancient life in Gaul.  There are some amazing trails for hikers, horse-riders and mountain bike here, including guided tours.

Dijon (104km), just 90-minutes away at the top end of the wine route, is a historical town with a delightful old quarter and of course famous mustard stores whilst Cluny (95km) to the south is a stunning medieval village most famous for its abbey, a National Monument of France, once the largest in the western world.

    The Manoir is wonderful - luxurious and characterful throughout. We were extremely well looked after by Ana and her team. Everything was beautifully clean and generously provided, which made us feel very welcome indeed. We think and talk about the house often and really hope to return soon.

    Amazing stay with great views! Everything is right and the house feels like a “home”. All facilities are accurate and the house is great to stay with a large company. The house is beautifully located in a green/quiet area. That means you have to drive everywhere. There is a bakery that is open every day in a 10-minute drive, and the first larger town of Autun with supermarkets is a 30-minute drive away. But be prepared for that and you have a fantastic stay! Communication with Anna is also easy and swift. Definitely recommended!

    What a fantastic week myself and friends have had at Manoir Des Chasseurs! Very well maintained & lovely house with beautifully curated & quality interior. Loved the master bedroom with gorgeously styled en-suite. Pool very clean & a nice size, adjacent to this is a lovely area to sit and eat al fresco. We enjoyed the barn with table tennis, also the tennis courts which were not advertised as they aren’t in great condition but we made use of them and were pleasantly surprised by the inclusion. The Welcome hamper was brilliant. House very clean, bedding is sumptuous and ample supplies of towels available. Overall a fantastic stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return to this property. Thank you very much.
