Restored Winegrower’s House in a Historic Burgundy Village
In the eastern part of Burgundy, a former winegrower’s house in the historic center of Cuiseaux has come to market for €999,000 with Arrière-Cour Immobilier.
Set behind a tall stone wall, the property reflects the qualities that give Burgundy its enduring appeal: authentic heritage architecture in a village where wine traditions, weekly markets, and surrounding landscapes continue to shape daily life.
Burgundy has long been one of the world’s most revered wine regions, yet its architectural fabric is just as defining—stone-built villages, Romanesque churches, fortified farmhouses, and homes like this one, where original materials and contemporary livability coexist with rare ease.
Cuiseaux, a small historic village at the foothills of the Jura and just beyond the Côte d’Or’s most coveted wine-producing zones, reflects that same cultural continuity. Properties here still sit within Burgundy’s broader heritage identity and a landscape shaped by centuries of wine growing and agriculture.
Cuiseaux offers shops, essentials, weekly markets, and an architectural character that feels authentically lived-in rather than curated for tourism, while remaining entirely practical as a part-time or long-stay address.
Geographically, the village sits between three significant wine and culinary regions: Bresse, known for its gastronomy; the Mâconnais, home to appellations such as Pouilly-Fuissé and Saint-Véran; and the Jura, a rising region producing increasingly collectible wines.
Inside, the residence offers five bedrooms across 328 m² (3,531 sq ft) of living space restored with care. Period features include historic wood panelling, exposed beams, coffered ceilings, and stone fireplaces. The fully equipped kitchen opens directly to a stone terrace.
The village house occupies a manageable 2,400 m² plot (approx. 0.59 acres / 25,800 sq ft) with a swimming pool framed by south-facing terraces and several outbuildings, including a barn, a habitable dependence, a garage, and a greenhouse. The ensemble reads as a contained estate within the village, arranged in a walled “clos” configuration that offers the privacy of a larger domain with the convenience of amenities a short walk away.
As a turnkey residence with period details intact, the house balances architectural narrative with everyday practicality—qualities that define heritage properties with strong long-term value in niche regional markets.
