About this property

Gîte du Prieuré de Saint-Hippolyte

Jacques & Patricia open the doors of an elegant authentic medieval building of character, fully restored according to the rules of the art, nestled on a property steeped in history (formerly "dependence" of the priory & "deanery" which occupied the premises / agricultural estate linked to the abbey of Cluny), adjoining the remains of the emblematic & majestic fortified Romanesque church of Saint-Hippolyte dating from the 11th century, one of the very first of this type built in Burgundy ("Cluniac Site" classified MH, "candidate" in the process of being classified as UNESCO world heritage), a literally exceptional building & a true heritage gem. In a quiet area, on the edge of a lane, in the heart of a picturesque little rural residential hamlet, nestled in the heart of the rolling Clunisoise countryside in the hollow of the verdant Guye valley (& its fish-filled river), sublime landscaped setting protected in the Natura 2000 Zone & ZNIEFF for its fauna & flora riches (including the nearby Monts site & its "limestone lawns" typical of Burgundy). Very comfortable gîte. Ultra spacious. Vast panoramic living room bathed in light. Warm "bourgeois" cachet in a "chic countryside" spirit enhanced by the soul of the original building (preservation of stone walls, wooden beams & lintels, stone fireplace mantel, rafters, etc.). Wealthy & refined atmosphere. Lots of charm & character. Pleasant enclosed garden (600m²) carefully landscaped, with a beautiful exposed terrace & a "natural" pétanque court (courtyard). Composition: Gîte in the owners' house (total independence without vis-à-vis). Wifi (fiber / "airbox" system). Gas central heating + fireplace. Gîte on one level (+ half floor). Ground floor: kitchen, living room, laundry room. Half floor: two bedrooms (double bed 160x200cm in each) with TV & private bathrooms (showers) including 1 with Wc, separate Wc. Terrace + enclosed garden (600m²) + bicycle storage + private parking. Mini-market 6 km. Supermarket 9 km. Literally exceptional address! Stay on a "Cluniac Site" full of great history, at the foot of the remains of the emblematic & majestic fortified Romanesque church of Saint-Hippolyte, a heritage jewel of Burgundy dating from the 11th century! Lovely charming cottage nestled in an authentic medieval outbuilding of character (formerly linked to the priory which occupied the premises) very elegantly restored according to the rules of the art - with a pleasant enclosed garden carefully landscaped - located in a quiet area 6.5 km from the charming market town of Cormatin (sumptuous 17th century castle & many amenities on site) & 9 km from the medieval town of Saint-Gengoux-le-National labeled "Cities of Character of Burgundy-Franche-Comté" (supermarket on site). In the heart of a peaceful and picturesque little residential hamlet in the upper Mâconnais nestled in the heart of the rolling Clunisoise countryside (largely protected in the "Natura 2000 Zone" & ZNIEFF for its remarkable ecosystems), in the hollow of the verdant Gyue valley, a splendid preserved setting combining bucolic groves, vineyards, meadows and beautiful wild forests, neighboring the wooded foothills of the nearby Massif Sud Bourgogne. Ultra-privileged location at the crossroads of the Mâconnais & Côtes Chalonnaises vineyards, ideally located on the routes of the Romanesque churches circuit, marked hiking trails in "green walks" (vast network of similar paths to explore on foot or by mountain bike in the area), the GR76 & a referenced "favorite bike loop" of 27 km (another identical route of 24 km accessible at 4.5 km), 4 km from the Green Way of the "Grande Boucle de Bourgogne du Sud" (adjoining the "Cycloroute71", Tour de la Saône-et-Loire by bike) & 10 km from the famous GMT mountain bike route (Grand Tour du Massif sud Bourgogne linked to a vast network of marked mountain bike trails, labeled "VTT FFC" crisscrossing the massif), very close to the "Route des Vins de Bourgogne" which is extended by the "Route des Grands Vins". Prime location in the heart of Tournugeois-Clunisois (labeled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), at the crossroads of Mâconnais, Chalonnais & Charolais-Brionnais (labeled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire", cradle of the world-renowned AOC bovine). Ideal for exploring: 9 km from Taizé (& its famous religious community), 16 km from the illustrious abbey city of Cluny, 18 km from the medieval city of Brancion, 22 km from the medieval village of Mont-Saint-Vincent (& its 360° panoramic "belvedere" unique in Burgundy), 27 km from Tournus (A6 on site), 35 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (labeled "City of Art and History"), 36 km from Charolles, 37 km from the landscaped jewel of Roches de Solutré & Vergisson labeled "Grand Site de France", 38 km from Mâcon (Mâcon Loché TGV station 37 km away), 43 km from Le Creusot (renamed Parc d'attraction des Combes & TGV station 38 km away) & 49 km from the city of the "sacré cœur" of Paray-le-Monial. A perfect & ultra comfortable "cocoon" full of charm for a revitalizing "green getaway" for lovers or families! 100% exotic site, absolutely magical...
