"Fruit of the meeting of the mountain with the sea" (originally from Normandy & Haute-Savoie), Adélie & Grégory open the doors to an authentic characterful residence from the early 20th century, completely renovated, steeped in history (former "miners' house" once linked to the "Houillères" of Epinac), nestled in a quiet area on the edge of a lane & the edge of meadows, a stone's throw from an elegant church dating from the 13th century (listed as a "Historic Monument"), in the heart of a peaceful little typical village. In the heart of unspoiled countryside (partly protected in ZNIEFF for its rich fauna and flora), in the hollow of a green valley of meadows dominated by gentle wooded hills, soothing landscaped setting mixing agriculture, viticulture and nature, between pastures, rivers, hillsides of vines and vast wild forests, on the borders of the bucolic vineyards of Couchois and Maranges, close to the various "belvedere" mountains of the territory culminating at more than 500m (including Mont Rome and the "Montagne des Trois Croix" classified as a "natural park" rich in an exceptional 360° panorama, a site steeped in history, notably Neolithic and Roman). Comfortable cottage with atypical interior architecture. Warm country character mixing "bohemian" charm and contemporary touches, combined with the exotic soul of the place (lovely terracotta tiles and original beams). Pleasant enclosed garden of 500m², with flowers, vegetation, and trees (pear and apple trees / picking possible), including a pétanque court and a large south-facing terrace.

Charming authentic character residence dating from the beginning of the 20th century - steeped in history & fully restored - nestled in a peaceful setting on a pleasant enclosed garden of 500m², in the heart of a peaceful little typical village, 6 km from the commercial town of Epinac (former mining town now labeled "Green Station") & 7.5 km from the charming medieval & wine-growing town of Nolay (with many amenities including supermarkets as well as extensive sports & leisure facilities, including a lake designed for swimming). Soothing gentle rolling countryside, partly protected in ZNIEFF, nestled at the crossroads of the Couchois (Côtes Chalonnaises) & Maranges vineyards (Hautes Côtes de Beaune & Côtes de Beaune of world renown) on the border of the Côte d'Or, in the hollow of a bucolic landscaped hilly setting combining agriculture, viticulture & nature, between hillsides of vineyards, green valleys of bocage meadows, wooded hills & beautiful wild forests, at the crossroads of the splendid preserved territories of the Pays Beaunois, the Autunois and the Morvan (& its Natural Park). Privileged location on the route of a marked "green walk" hiking trail (many hiking trails of the same type crisscrossing the area between vineyards and nature, to be explored on foot or by mountain bike), neighboring the circuit of Romanesque churches and the "Route des Grands Vins" which is extended by the illustrious "Route des Grands Crus" (crossing the legendary wine-growing villages of Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, Meursault, etc.), 6 km from the GR137 connected to the GR7 and the magnificent GRP "Au Fil des Vignobles et Vallées", 2 km from the Voie Verte "du Morvan aux Vignobles" attached to the "Cycloroute71" (Tour de la Saône-et-Loire à vélo), 7.5 km from the "La Voie des Vignes" cycle route (36 km route among the vineyards of the great Burgundy crus, the most eminent in the world), 15 km of the "EuroVélo6" cycle route connected to the "Tour de Bourgogne à vélo" (along the famous Canal du Centre, a navigable route to discover by boat or on foot), 20 km of the legendary GTMC mountain bike route ("Grande Traversée du Massif Central") & 20 km of the Green Way "la Voie des Étangs".
