Videlina - SAINT AUBIN EN CHAROLLAIS

Laetitia and Guy (breeders of show pigeons who can show you their impressive aviaries) welcome you to a charming, carefully restored traditional farmhouse dating from 1900 (built with stones from the magnificent nearby Château de Digoine, some of which remain inlaid with unusual fossils in the garden). Nestled peacefully in a small, scattered rural hamlet next to the Canal du Centre, in the heart of the unspoiled Charolais countryside (a protected ZNIEFF area for its rich fauna and flora), you'll find absolute tranquility in the heart of the sublime local bocage (with the famous Charolais cows and/or horses as your privileged neighbors, depending on the season), close to beautiful wild forests, all within a magnificent landscaped setting. A spacious and very comfortable gîte. A warm, rustic charm with contemporary touches, enhanced by the character of the original structure (fireplace mantel, authentic sink, stone walls, door and window lintels, beams and French-style ceilings, exposed timber frame, etc.). A cozy and inviting atmosphere. Full of charm and character. A large sheltered terrace opens onto a 300m² enclosed garden (electric gate) including a large landscaped courtyard, a veritable "natural pétanque court," the owners' vegetable garden (not open to the public during your stay / seasonal vegetables can be picked), and a fenced pasture where their peaceful Ouessant dwarf sheep graze. Beautiful, unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. A true haven of peace and tranquility. Composition: Detached house. Wi-Fi (fiber optic). Gas central heating + wood-burning stove. Air conditioning upstairs. Ground floor: living room/kitchen/lounge (double sofa bed 140x190cm), shower room, separate WC. First floor: 2 bedrooms (double bed 140x190cm / single bed 120x190cm), one with TV and en-suite open-plan bathroom (corner bath), separate WC. Covered terrace + enclosed garden (300m²) + bicycle storage + private parking. Amenities including supermarkets 10 km away. The little house on the prairie! Lovely traditional farmhouse dating from 1900, carefully restored & revisited as a sweet holiday resort, nestled in the peace and quiet of the Charolais countryside (largely protected in ZNIEFF for its rich ecosystems), in the heart of the sublime local bocage, very close to various vast wild forests, 10 km from Paray-le-Monial, illustrious sanctuary city "of the Sacred Heart" (all amenities on site including supermarkets).
