Eaux Calmes - ARTAIX

Passionate about history, flora, and fauna, Claire and Jean-Yves welcome you to their beautifully restored, authentic 19th-century stables, once part of the traditional farmhouse they now inhabit. Enjoy absolute tranquility in this small rural hamlet, nestled on the edge of fields and meadows (with peaceful Charolais cows as seasonal neighbors) on the banks of the Loire, the "last wild river in Europe" (with a private observation point on site and direct access for fishing). Protected as a Natura 2000 site for its exceptional plant and animal life (fish, mammals, birds, amphibians, etc.), it serves as a migratory, breeding, and nesting route for numerous species, some of which are very rare. An enchanting and ultra-relaxing setting, nestled in the gentle rolling countryside of the Brionnais region (a protected ZNIEFF area due to its rich flora and fauna), in a peaceful, unspoiled haven, combining bucolic hedgerows dotted with ponds and rivers, and beautiful wild forests. A spacious and comfortable cottage. A warm, rustic charm with a touch of vintage, enhanced by the original building's character (stone lintels, period beams and timber frame). Large sheltered terrace. Large flower-filled courtyard (a veritable "natural pétanque court") complete with children's play equipment (swing, slide, and sandbox). Pleasant garden bordering the meadows. Beautiful unobstructed views of the Loire River and the surrounding countryside. Composition: Cottage adjoining the owners' accommodation (completely independent). Wi-Fi (fiber optic). Heat pump heating. Air conditioning. Laundry room with external access (via the terrace).

Covered terrace + 600m² grounds (garden and courtyard) + bicycle storage + private parking. Supermarket 6 km. Shops 7 km. An ultra-relaxing setting and location, nestled "by the water" on the banks of the Loire, the "last wild river in Europe" protected in a "Natura 2000 Zone" (for its exceptional ecosystems) just a stone's throw from the "tranquil canal" (linking Roanne to Digoin)! Authentic former stables attached to a fully renovated 19th-century farmhouse, nestled in peace and quiet on the edge of fields and meadows within a peaceful little rural hamlet, 7 km from the charming medieval market town of Marcigny, a "Cluniac site" particularly known for its Monday morning market established in 1266 (numerous amenities on site including supermarkets). Absolute tranquility in the heart of the gentle rolling Brionnais countryside (classified as a ZNIEFF), in the hollow of a magnificent preserved landscaped setting mixing agriculture & nature between bucolic hedgerows dotted with ponds & rivers and gentle wild forests.
