Cottage Mâconnais

Between City & Countryside! Atypical, comfortable "mini-loft" in a small, contemporary, cottage-style Chalet - with access to a beautiful L-shaped swimming pool (11x5m with dedicated 3x3m "Kids area") shared with the owners - nestled in a peaceful, enclosed 2200m² property, a stone's throw from the first vineyards, in the heart of a peaceful residential area adjoining the center of Crêches-sur-Saône (all amenities with large shopping area & supermarkets on site / numerous leisure facilities including a lake-base for swimming), a shopping village nestling on the banks of the Saône (protected as a "Zone Natura 2000" for its rich ecosystems) 10 km from Mâcon. In the middle of the Countryside, bordering a vast wild forest (partly protected as a ZNIEFF for its rich flora & fauna), nestled at the foot of the gentle Arlois Valley (the only one in Burgundy to produce both southern Burgundy and northern Beaujolais wines), a magnificent plateau of vineyards overlooking the Val de Saône ("on the land" of the famous "Moulin à Vent", "Saint-Amour" or "Saint-Véran" crus) in the extension of the sumptuous landscaped jewel of the neighbouring Roches de Solutré & Vergisson labelled "Grand Site de France" (11 km away). An ultra-privileged Location at the very southern tip of Burgundy, at the crossroads of the Côtes Mâconnaises & northern Beaujolais (the world's first vineyard to be recognized as a "UNESCO World Geopark"), ideally situated on the "Route des Vins de Bourgogne", the Romanesque church circuit, and the "balades vertes" hiking trails (a vast network of similar trails connected to the GR76), winding through vineyards & nature, to be explored throughout the region) & numerous signposted mountain bike trails (linked to a vast "VTT area" criss-crossing the massif, certified "VTT FFC"), 3 km from the Voie Bleue (running alongside the Saône) linked to the "Cycloroute71" (Tour de la Saône-et-Loire by bike) as well as to the EuroVélo17 cycle route & 7 km from the Voie Verte of the "Grande Boucle Bourgogne du Sud". At the crossroads of Rhône & Ain, Mâconnais, Beaujolais, Clunisois-Tournugeois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire") & Bresse de l'Ain. Ideal location for easy access to several départements (A6 & RCEA connection 6 km away): 6 km from the Mâcon Loché TGV train station, 7.5 km from the renowned Touroparc Zoo (zoological & leisure park), 8.5 km from "Hameau Dubœuf" (Europe's 1st vineyard & wine theme park), 27 km from Beaujeu (historic capital of Beaujolais), 27 km from the famous abbey town of Cluny, 29 km from Villefranche-sur-Saône, 43 km from Tournus & 44 km from Bourg-en-Bresse. An ideal, soothing "cocoon" for a romantic get-together, just a stone's throw from nature and all shops and services, with a poolside "lézardage" to boot!

Passionate travelers, Jérémy & Laurie-Anne open the doors of a small, contemporary "chalet-cottage" (a former garage that, "for the record", was completely dismantled several kilometers away, rebuilt on site & revisited as a gentle resort) leaning on a "balcony" on the side of a slope, in the hollow of a 2200m² enclosed property. Quiet, in a peaceful residential neighborhood adjoining a playground (Tennis, connected fitness area, city-stadium, basketball court, Kids playground...), a stone's throw from the first vineyards and shops. Nestled on the banks of the Saône (protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its rich ecosystems of flora and fauna, particularly ornithological), with all amenities (large, secluded sales agent zone) and numerous sports & leisure facilities (including a renowned Lake / Base de loisirs du Port d'Arcia with supervised swimming), Crêches-sur-Saône enjoys a magnificent, undulating landscape, combining vineyards and vast, unspoilt forests, offering sublime panoramic views over the Val de Saône, the Alps & as far as Mont-Blanc on a clear day! Comfortable Holiday cottage. Good volume. Atypical architecture worthy of a "mini loft". Warm, wooded feel with contemporary accents. Cosy & cozy atmosphere.
