Le Chant de la Rivière

Annie welcomes you to a comfortable contemporary house nestled on the edge of a small, quiet, cul-de-sac, in a pleasant, preserved rural setting on the edge of bocage & meadows, a stone's throw from the Drée (and a ford) a bucolic, fish-filled river. Quiet residential area adjoining the center of the charming, typical & commercial village of Epinac (many amenities on site), a major mining town from the end of the 19th century (industrial site for the production of glass & coal) associated with one of the oldest railway lines in France (of which the station still exists). Now a "Green Station" (a benchmark ecotourism label for nature destinations), the town boasts a rich industrial heritage (a dedicated museum, the "Circuit des gueules noires" (Black Mouth Circuit) leading to the 10 largest old wells, numerous remains including the unmissable, perfectly preserved Hottinguer Well), a multi-activity leisure center, a landscaped fishing pond (with picnic areas by the water), numerous marked hiking trails (green walks), including a "nature trail" with a botanical path to discover the local flora and fauna, and enjoys a magnificent, unspoiled landscaped setting of gentle mountains alternating with lush greenery, rolling countryside, and vast wild forests. A very comfortable cottage with fully equipped, ultra-detailed furnishings. A warm, contemporary feel. A large, intimate, sheltered terrace (bioclimatic pergola). Well-kept, flower-filled grounds include a children's playhouse, a trampoline, and a small pond with frogs. Composition: Single-story detached house. Wi-Fi. Electric heating + wood pellet stove. Living room-kitchen-lounge, 3 bedrooms (1 double bed 140x190cm in each), bathroom (corner bath), separate toilet, shower room/laundry room (shower + toilet). 1 men's mountain bike, 1 women's mountain bike with child carrier and 2 children's mountain bikes on request. Sheltered terrace + land + carport + private parking. Amenities 1 km. Supermarket 2 km. Between "town & country"! Very comfortable contemporary house located in the countryside, on the edge of meadows, a stone's throw from the center of the charming, typical & commercial village of Epinac (former mining town steeped in history, now labeled "Green Station" with many amenities) nestled on the border of the Côte d'Or, on the south-eastern slope of the Morvan massif at the gateway to the Natural Park. In the heart of the Autunois, a magnificent preserved territory, steeped in history, traditions, legends & mysteries, rich in an exceptional heritage (ancient, medieval, industrial...) & absolutely magnificent landscapes (gentle rolling mountains combining hedged farmland, green valleys, rivers and deep wild forests), dotted with numerous referenced hiking trails, to be explored on foot or by mountain bike.
