Noëlle and Axel (a history enthusiast and author of a local book) welcome you to a charming, authentic early 19th-century farm outbuilding, meticulously restored to the highest standards. Nestled on the edge of a narrow lane opposite the village's elegant 12th-century Romanesque church, it offers peace and tranquility in the heart of a peaceful and picturesque little village, perfectly preserved in the gentle Cluny countryside (classified and protected as a Natura 2000 site for its rich flora and fauna). Perched on a hillside in a magnificent, rolling landscape of hedged meadows dotted with idyllic little rivers and ponds, it lies beneath the wooded ridges of the vast Trois Monts state forest (the literal "green lung" of the region, perfect for leisurely walks or mountain biking). The comfortable cottage is tucked away under the eaves, offering spacious rooms. A warm, chic country style, both elegant and refined, complements the rich features of the original building (stone walls and wooden lintels). Full of charm and character. A cozy, inviting, and comfortable atmosphere. A large gravel courtyard with a terrace area overlooks a raised garden. Access to the owners' large and very pleasant enclosed garden (3000m²), meticulously landscaped (lawn, planted, and with trees), which includes a beautiful shared heated swimming pool (4x12m) with a covered terrace. Composition: The cottage is attached to the owners' residence (completely independent and private). Wi-Fi (fiber optic). Wood-fired central heating. Raised ground floor (3 steps): kitchen-living-room (sofa bed 120x190cm), 1 bedroom (2 single beds 80x200cm that can be joined to make a double bed 160x200cm), shower room, separate WC. Private gravel terrace and small garden. Enclosed garden (3000m²) with heated swimming pool (4x12m) belonging to the owners (private access from 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 5pm). Bicycle storage. Ample public parking on site. Mini-market and small shops 12 km. All amenities including supermarkets 17 km. Charming authentic early 19th century farm outbuilding carefully restored - offering access to a beautiful heated swimming pool (4x12m) shared with the owners (in "private hours") situated on a vast enclosed landscaped garden of 3000m² - nestled in the quiet heart of a peaceful picturesque little village in the gentle Cluny countryside, 13 km from the typical town of Saint-Bonnet-de-Joux (supermarket on site) and 17 km from the illustrious abbey town of Cluny with the prestigious "European Heritage" label (all amenities on site including supermarkets). Total tranquility in the heart of the rolling countryside, protected in "Natura 2000 Zone" for its rich ecosystems, nestled between the green valleys of the Grosne & the Guye, in the hollow of a magnificent preserved setting of nature & greenery combining bucolic hedgerows, forests & ponds, "at the foot" of the iconic panoramic sentinel of the Butte de Suin (culminating at 600m altitude), not far from the wooded foothills of the South Burgundy massif as well as the northern Beaujolais massif. Ideally located, next to the Romanesque churches circuit and the "Cycloroute 71" (Saône-et-Loire cycling route), on the route of numerous marked "green walks" (a very extensive network of similar hiking trails to explore in the area), 1 km from the GR76 long-distance hiking trail running alongside the GR7, 14 km from the "Grande Boucle de Bourgogne du Sud" greenway (and its remarkable "Tunnel du Bois Clair" 16 km away, the longest former railway tunnel in France converted into a greenway at 1.6 km), 16 km from a highly recommended 63 km cycling loop (another similar 27 km route is accessible 20 km away), and 17 km from the renowned GTM mountain bike route ("Grand Tour du Massif Sud Bourgogne," connected to a vast network of marked mountain bike trails crisscrossing the massif, all certified as "VTT" trails). FFC"), about fifteen kilometers from the first vineyards of the Côtes Mâconnaises (and the renowned "Val Lamartinien"), about thirty kilometers from the vineyards of Beaujolais (the first vineyard in the world recognized as a "UNESCO Global Geopark") as well as the Côtes Chalonnaises ("Burgundy Wine Route" extended by the "Route des Grands Vins" & "Beaujolais Wine Route" to explore). An ultra-privileged central location, in the very heart of southern Burgundy, on the edge of the Clunisois-Tournugeois (labeled "Land of Art and History"), at the crossroads of the Mâconnais, the Chalonnais and the Charolais-Brionnais, cradle of the world-renowned AOC cattle breed (labeled "Land of Art and History"). Ideal for easy exploration: 20 km from Taizé (and its famous religious community), 26 km from Saint-Gengoux-le-National (labeled "Cities of Character of Burgundy-Franche-Comté"), 25 km from Charolles, 29 km from the sumptuous landscape jewel of the Roche de Solutré labeled "Grand Site de France", 30 km from the medieval town of Mont-Saint-Vincent (one of the most beautiful sites in Burgundy with a literally unique 360° panoramic "belvedere"), 31 km from Mâcon (TGV stations: Mâcon Loché 29 km / Creusot 48 km), 33 km from the medieval village of Brancion, 38 km from Paray-le-Monial, 41 km from Tournus & 43 km from Beaujeu (historical capital of Beaujolais). A soothing, charming haven for a relaxing "getaway to the countryside" for couples, with lounging and sunbathing by the pool as a bonus!
