Videlina - SAINT AUBIN EN CHAROLLAIS

Lætitia & Guy (breeder of "competition pigeons" who can show you around their impressive aviaries) welcome you to a charming traditional farmhouse from 1900, carefully restored (built, for the record, with stones from the sumptuous neighbouring castle of Digoine, some of which remain encrusted with unusual fossils on the garden side), nestled in the peace and quiet of a small scattered rural hamlet adjoining the Canal du Centre, in the heart of the preserved Charolais countryside (protected in ZNIEFF for its fauna and flora riches). Absolute tranquility, in the heart of the sublime local bocage (with the famous Charolais cows and/or horses as privileged neighbours depending on the season), very close to beautiful wild forests, in the hollow of a magnificent landscaped setting. Spacious gîte with very good comfort. Warm country character with contemporary accents enhanced by the soul of the original building (fireplace mantel, authentic sink, walls, stone door & window lintels, French beams & ceilings, framework, etc.). Cozy & cocooning atmosphere. Lots of charm & character. Large sheltered terrace opening onto an enclosed plot of 300m² (electric gate) including a large landscaped courtyard, a real "natural pétanque ground", the owners' vegetable garden (not visited during your stay / possible picking of seasonal vegetables) & a fenced pasture welcoming their peaceful "Ouessan dwarf sheep". Beautiful unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside. A literal haven of peace & rest. Composition: Detached house. Gas central heating + wood stove. Ground floor: living room-kitchen-lounge (double sofa bed 140x190cm as an extra), shower room (shower), separate toilet. 1st floor: 2 bedrooms (double bed 140x190cm / single bed 120x190cm) including one with TV & private "open" bathroom (corner bath), separate toilet. Sheltered terrace + enclosed land (300m²) + bicycle storage + private parking. Amenities including supermarkets 10 km away.
