Céladon - SAINT-BOIL - Gîte

A renowned ceramic artist exhibiting worldwide (with a studio and showroom on site, available for visits upon request with her), Marie-Laure welcomes you to an authentic, characterful former outbuilding, steeped in history and fully restored. It was once linked to the artisanal tile works built in the early 19th century that occupied the premises (of which the imposing brick kiln remains). Enjoy peace and tranquility in the heart of the rolling countryside (protected as a ZNIEFF and various Natura 2000 sites for their rich fauna and flora), within a small residential hamlet nestled amidst meadows on the edge of a peaceful, picturesque, and perfectly preserved wine-growing village (boasting a beautiful listed 12th-century Romanesque church and a rare ancient quarry of Gallo-Roman sculptures from the 3rd century). An ultra-relaxing setting and location, nestled on the edge of fields and idyllic wooded meadows (home, in season, to the famous local Charolais cows), just a stone's throw from the nearest vineyards (600m away) and the Green Way, in the heart of a magnificent landscaped setting of preserved nature and greenery. A comfortable cottage. A warm country charm enhanced by a few vintage touches (including beautiful 1950s tiles in the kitchen) and the utterly captivating atmosphere of a former rural home. Full of charm. Cozy ambiance. A lovely, private garden area nestled within a pleasant enclosed property, landscaped with lawns and trees, and adorned with a fruit orchard (cherry, mirabelle plum, plum…/picking possible). Soothing, unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. Composition: The cottage is attached to the owner's house and ceramics workshop (completely independent). Wi-Fi (fiber optic).

Stay "in the heart of the meadows" on a site steeped in history, on the edge of a peaceful & picturesque wine-growing village, a stone's throw from the vineyards and the Green Way! Authentic character outbuilding of a former artisanal tile factory dating from the early 19th century, completely renovated into a gentle holiday home, nestled in the calm on the edge of fields & meadows - on a pleasant enclosed property of 1600m² - within a small rural residential hamlet located 8 km (equidistant) from the charming medieval towns of Saint-Gengoux-le-National ("major Cluniac site" labeled "Cities of Character of Burgundy-Franche-Comté") and Buxy (numerous amenities on site including supermarkets).
