Michelle & Jean-François welcome you to a charming, authentic, traditional 19th century farmhouse, fully renovated and redesigned as a holiday home, nestled in the peace and quiet of the unspoiled Charolais countryside on a gently rolling plateau facing south, in the heart of a "dispersed" rural hamlet, 3 km from the center of the charming, typical Celtic village of Vendenesse-lès-Charolles, rich in exceptional heritage (very rare "lime kilns" unique in France, listed as Historic Monuments, beautiful listed Romanesque church from the 11th century, 16th century castle, etc.). Absolute tranquility, not overlooked, nestled in the hollow of the bucolic local wooded bocage dotted with ponds and rivers (with the famous Charolais cows, grazing peacefully, as close, privileged neighbors in season), not far from beautiful wild forests. Soothing, beautifully landscaped setting. Ultra-restful and relaxing setting and site, literally enchanting. Spacious, comfortable cottage. A change of scenery with a rustic, vintage charm. Large enclosed grounds (home to the owners' sheep, penned on-site in the spirit of a "micro farm") feature a vast gravel courtyard (a perfect "natural" pétanque court), an exposed terrace ("on the courtyard"), a pleasant flower garden with an orchard (featuring a relaxation area and a sandpit for children), and a lush organic vegetable garden (vegetable and flower picking possible). Splendid, unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside and its rolling pastures stretching as far as the eye can see. Magnificent landscapes. Composition: Single-story detached house (+ outbuildings). Wi-Fi. Oil-fired central heating. Ground floor: living room-kitchen-lounge (double sofa bed 140x190cm as an extra), 2 bedrooms (1 double bed 140x190cm / 2 single beds 90x190cm), bathroom (shower), separate WC. Enclosed grounds of 300m² (small garden + courtyard) + gravel terrace (on courtyard) + bicycle storage + private parking. Amenities & supermarkets 5 km away. A literal haven of peace and relaxation! Charming, authentic, traditional 19th-century farmhouse, fully renovated - with a pleasant enclosed plot - nestled in a peaceful, scattered rural hamlet, in the heart of the bucolic local bocage, 5 km from the charming medieval village of Charolles (the "Charolais Venice"), famous city of Charles the Bold ("Cluniac Site" with numerous amenities including supermarkets and extensive sports and leisure facilities). Absolute tranquility in the heart of the gentle Charolais countryside (partly protected as a ZNIEFF for its rich ecosystems), mixing agriculture and nature between gentle hedged meadows dotted with ponds and rivers and beautiful wild forests, nestled between the verdant Arconce Valley and the first wooded foothills of the Beaujolais massif (partly protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone").
