La Maison Des Pimolles

A MASTER’S HOUSE IN PUISAYE

In Puisaye, houses that span generations have a unique identity. The Maison des Pimolles is one of them: its architecture reminds us of the past and the region’s history. Behind its 19th-century facade, nearly 380 m² of living space opens onto a one-hectare wooded park, accompanied by an outbuilding of about 100 m², a swimming pool perfectly integrated into the garden, and a pétanque court. Just before the gate, the municipal tennis courts with free access already hint at the lifestyle the house offers. An address where one can imagine large summer gatherings, family reunions, and the rhythm of the seasons that accompany the Burgundy countryside.

A HOUSE THAT BELONGS TO THE LANDSCAPE

Approaching Mézilles, the road leaves the main routes to join the gentle relief of Puisaye. Here, hedgerows outline the paths, large trees form cathedral-like canopies over the roads, and the homes seem to have long found their rightful place. The Maison des Pimolles appears around the bend, set back from Mézilles’ main street. Its bourgeois architecture recalls the elegance of 19th-century Burgundian manor houses. Its proportions are balanced, its glazed windows and doors generously invite light, and the whole retains a sobriety that transcends eras without losing its character. The renovation carried out in 2016 delicately supports this history. The old materials remain at the heart of the story: the subtle mix of parquet and terracotta tiles, exposed beams, open fireplaces, and generous volumes give it an atmosphere as warm as it is airy. The living room becomes the heart of the home. Conversations linger there in front of the large openings facing the garden, while the kitchen, contemporary in design, naturally accompanies everyday moments.

A HOME DESIGNED TO WELCOME

The property offers a way of living where everyone finds their place: the entrance is flanked by a small lounge and the dining room, both facing the garden, while a corridor invites you to continue to the kitchen open to a spacious living room heated by a fireplace, adjoining the billiard room. The glass doors open onto the terrace and the pool overlooking the garden. The eight bedrooms (including two suites with their own bathrooms), spread over the top two floors and served by bright corridors, allow for comfortable accommodation of family or friends. To the west of the house, an outbuilding to be developed extends this hosting capacity with multiple possibilities: independent accommodation for relatives, a guesthouse, or a conversion project where hospitality would find a natural setting here.

The approximately one-hectare park blends naturally with the house. Centuries-old trees create perspectives, lawns dressed with rose beds lead to the house or to the pool via the pétanque court. It is a garden where one can imagine reading in the shade of oaks, playing, hosting receptions during summer evenings, or simply strolling.

THE SPIRIT OF PUISAYE

Living at the Maison des Pimolles means experiencing a special terroir: that of a discreet Burgundy where villages live with the seasons, and where Toucy gathers shops, a remarkable market, and services just minutes away. A house where several generations come together, a refuge between town and countryside, a place where hosting becomes natural. It can accommodate a guesthouse or gîtes activity, continuing its history and hosting capacity. Some houses charm by their size. Others leave a lasting impression by the atmosphere they exude. Entering this house will definitely convince you of its potential.

THE AGENCY’S OPINION

We love homes rooted in their terroir as much as for their architecture. The Maison des Pimolles has this precious quality. It is firmly established in Puisaye, its light, landscapes, and rhythm. The room volumes, the park, the outbuilding, and the recent renovation form a highly coherent whole, where one can imagine family life, a country residence passed down through generations, or a place for welcoming guests.
