In the heart of the medieval town of Semur-en-Auxois, ”the Porte Guillier” is a rare heritage property built on a former 14th-century city gate, later integrated into a refined townhouse, creating a unique architectural ensemble where medieval structure and later residential transformation coexist naturally within a single property. The building offers approximately 403 square metres of living space distributed across four levels, combining private residential areas with an ongoing hospitality activity in an authentic historic setting. It comprises five bedrooms, including three currently operated as guest suites, allowing immediate continuation of a boutique accommodation activity in one of Burgundy’s most visited and historically significant towns. The property retains a strong architectural identity, with original structural elements, generous volumes and a distinctive vertical organisation that reflects its historical evolution through time. It further benefits from vaulted cellars, an outbuilding, a large garage, an internal courtyard with a garden and two covered terraces, all of which are particularly rare features in the very center of medieval town. A significant added value lies in approximately 140 square metres of convertible attic space located on the upper levels, offering substantial potential for expansion, additional accommodation capacity or the creation of private luxury living areas depending on the future vision of the property. This flexibility allows the property to adapt to several potential uses, whether as a continuation of its current hospitality activity, a transformation into a private heritage residence, or a mixed-use investment asset combining lifestyle and income potential. The property benefits from its historic classification and architectural significance, reinforcing its long-term value preservation and its unique position within the regional real estate market. Located in the pedestrian historic centre of Semur-en-Auxois, the property enjoys a dominant position within the medieval city, with immediate walking access to restaurants, shops, monuments and cultural landmarks, in a highly sought-after tourist destination in Burgundy, within easy reach of Dijon and major regional transport connections.
A rare opportunity to acquire a landmark historic property combining architectural heritage, hospitality activity and significant development potential in one of Burgundy’s most authentic medieval towns. For further information or to arrange a private viewing, please contact us directly.
Au coeur de la cité médiévale de Semur-en-Auxois, découvrez une demeure absolument unique : plus de 250 m2 habitables avec jardin, cour, terrasses et garage, installés au sein même des anciens remparts. Derrière ses murs chargés d’histoire se dévoilent de généreux volumes où parquets anciens, terres cuites, boiseries, galeries en bois, stucs et nombreuses cheminées d’époque composent une atmosphère rare. Depuis la propriété, les perspectives sur la collégiale Notre-Dame, les tours du donjon et les toits de la cité rappellent à chaque instant le caractère exceptionnel de son emplacement. La demeure trouve son origine dans la principale porte orientale des remparts, édifiée au début du XIVe siècle et intégrée vers 1600 à l’ancien hôtel particulier des marquis de Massol. Répartie sur quatre niveaux, elle développe aujourd’hui environ 258 m2 habitables et dispose de 146 m2 supplémentaires offrant un remarquable potentiel d’aménagement, soit près de 404 m2 de surface exploitable. Elle comprend cinq chambres, dont trois actuellement utilisées en chambres d’hôtes, et se prête aussi bien à une résidence familiale qu’à une résidence secondaire ou à la poursuite d’une activité d’accueil. Au dernier niveau, les volumes sous charpente et les réseaux déjà en place permettent d’imaginer de nouveaux espaces de vie selon les besoins. La propriété bénéficie également de caves, d’une dépendance et d’un vaste garage. Cour intérieure, jardin privatif et deux terrasses abritées complètent cet ensemble : des prestations particulièrement précieuses au coeur d’un centre historique piéton. Commerces, restaurants et patrimoine de Semur-en-Auxois sont à deux pas, dans une cité vivante toute l’année et au coeur de la Bourgogne. Bien plus qu’une demeure ancienne, cette propriété offre la possibilité rare d’habiter une fragment de l’histoire de Semur-en-Auxois, tout en bénéficiant des espaces et du confort nécessaires à une véritable vie de famille. Une adresse patrimoniale confidentielle, destinée aux amoureux de lieux qui ne ressemblent à aucun autre.
