A manor house for sale in Côte-d'Or stands out for its constant use of Burgundy stone, ochre or golden limestone quarried locally, paired with flat-tile roofs and, in some areas, the polychrome glazed tiles that give Burgundian buildings their reputation. From the wine-growing Côte to the plateaus of the Auxois and the Châtillonnais, the department has kept noble residences tied to former agricultural fiefs, often flanked by a round tower or a dovecote. You will find a restored gentleman's residence just as readily as a manor to renovate still in its original condition. Browse the manor houses for sale listed by the department's private owners, agencies and notaries.
This page brings together real price benchmarks for large residences in Côte-d'Or, the most sought-after areas from one plateau to the next, what sets the local building style apart and the checks specific to a house built on karstic limestone. It also outlines how these estates are used today, from a full-time family home to a working vineyard or a venue for private events.

DVF land registry data does not identify manor houses as such: the benchmarks below cover sales of houses over 300 m² of living space on 0.05 to 10 ha, above €1,000/m², tracked by our observatory. They frame the market for large residences without describing it entirely: an estate with 30 ha of parkland or a listed monument sold with its farmland falls outside this scope.

The Côte-d'Or house is recognised by its limestone, cut into large blocks for corners and window surrounds, and by its shallow flat-tile roof; in the Auxois and around Semur-en-Auxois, some manors still carry green, yellow and brown glazed tiles arranged in geometric patterns, a legacy of Burgundian craftsmanship. The plan often combines a rectangular main house with a round stone stair tower, with pedimented dormers and carved fireplaces in the oldest residences, many dating from the sixteenth century.
Outbuildings reflect the department's dual farming and wine-growing character: a wine press and vaulted cellar on the hillside estates, barns and byres in the cattle-raising Auxois, and a dovecote and bread oven found almost everywhere. Many of these houses long served as working farm centres, leaving extensive but sometimes dilapidated outbuildings behind a noble facade, with barns large enough to convert into guest rooms or a reception hall. Recent restoration work keeps lime renders and original oak joinery wherever it can still be salvaged.
The Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, between Dijon and Beaune, hold vineyard-ringed manors that are much sought after despite very limited supply. The Châtillonnais, around Châtillon-sur-Seine and Montbard, on the edge of Champagne and Haute-Marne, offers more isolated houses set within a wide landscape of limestone plateaus and dense forest. The Auxois, around Semur-en-Auxois and Saulieu, on the doorstep of the Morvan, and the Saône valley to the east towards Auxonne and Seurre, round out a set of contrasting areas, from prestigious vineyards to Charolais cattle country.
Dijon and Montbard both have stations served by direct TGV trains to Paris in a little over ninety minutes, and the A6 motorway runs the full length of the department from north to south. The most expensive areas remain the wine-growing Côte and the outskirts of Dijon; the Châtillonnais and the Auxois, more rural, offer comparable floor areas at markedly more accessible levels.
Several manors in the department are listed or classified as historic monuments, particularly on the wine-growing Côte and in the Auxois: confirm the exact status, since exterior works on a protected building require the approval of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France, including near a classified monument. On the limestone plateaus of the Châtillonnais, check for karstic cavities before planning any extension or swimming pool, a phenomenon well documented in several municipalities across the area.
On the technical side, have the property checked for dry rot in cellars and poorly ventilated ground floors, and ask for a termite survey, since the insect has been reported in certain parts of the department in recent years. Check the private drainage system, the condition of the old roofs, and the status, municipal or private, of the rural tracks that often serve these properties standing alone amid open farmland.
