Kilomètre Zéro

Exceptional panoramic views all the way to Mont Blanc on clear days! A very elegant, carefully restored 1970s-style villa—nestled on a pleasant, spacious 5,000 m² property perched on a “panoramic lookout” on an east-facing hillside —tucked away in a quiet setting on the edge of Vineyards and Forest, on the heights above the charming little wine-growing and shop village of Viré (famous for its Viré-Clessé AOC Chardonnay), 5.5 km from the picturesque town of Lugny (“the little capital of the Haut-Mâconnais,” featuring numerous shops, a renowned “tree-top adventure park,” and the first winery to produce Burgundy wines), 7.5 km from the La Salle golf course and 11 km from the charming shopping town of Pont de Vaux (with numerous amenities, including supermarkets and a river Marina on the Saône). Absolute tranquility in the heart of the unspoiled wine-growing countryside of the Haut-Mâconnais (protected as a ZNIEFF and “Natura 2000” site for its rich ecosystems), nestled in the southern foothills of the Southern Burgundy Massif (a splendid wild forest area perfect for hiking or mountain biking, offering exceptional views), just a stone’s throw from the banks of the Saône, nestled in a magnificent rolling rural setting that blends viticulture, nature, and agriculture among bucolic vineyard-covered hillsides, vast forests, fields, meadows, and pastures. An exceptionally prime location along various marked nature trails, including a designated “green trail” (part of a vast network of similar hiking trails to explore in the region) and the renowned GTM mountain biking circuit, certified “VTT FFC” (“Grand Tour du Massif Sud Bourgogne,” connected to a vast network of similarly marked mountain bike trails crisscrossing the massif in a “star” pattern), adjacent to the Romanesque Churches Circuit and the “Burgundy Wine Route” (which is extended by the “Route des Grands Vins”), 5 km from the Voie Bleue running along the banks of the Saône (which runs alongside the “Grande Boucle de Bourgogne du Sud” Greenway as well as the EuroVelo 17/“ViaRhôna” cycle route), 5 km from the “Cycloroute 71” (Tour de la Saône-et-Loire by bike), 5 km from a marked cycling route serving the town of Pont de Vaux, 12 km from the GR76, which connects to the famous GR “Chemin de Cluny” (ViaCluny) as well as the legendary “Chemin des Moines” (which once connected the abbeys of Cîteaux and Cluny), and 13 km from the renowned Mont-Saint-Romain mountain bike downhill trail. In the heart of the Mâconnais region and its famous Vineyards, at the crossroads of the Bresse de l’Ain, the Tournugeois-Clunisois (designated a “Pays d’Art et d’Histoire”), the Chalonnais and the Bresse Bourguignonne, not far from the vineyards of the Côtes Chalonnaises and the Beaujolais (the world’s first Vineyard recognized as a “UNESCO Global Geopark”). 9 km from the Azé Caves, 19 km from Mâcon (Mâcon Loché train station 25 km away), 16 km from the medieval village of Brancion, 19 km from Tournus, 21 km from the illustrious abbey town of Cluny, 25 km from the magnificent natural gem of La Roche de Solutré, designated a “Grand Site de France,” 31 km from the charming medieval town of Saint-Gengoux-le-National (designated a “Cité de Caractère de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté”), 37 km from Vonnas (Georges Blanc’s gastronomic village), 37 km from “Hameau Dubœuf” (Europe’s first theme park dedicated to vineyards and wine), 44 km from Louhans (the historic capital of the Burgundian Bresse region), 46 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (designated a “City of Art and History”) and 48 km from Bourg-en-Bresse. An inspiring “haven” of charm and serenity nestled “in the heart” of the vineyards and the great outdoors! An enchanting setting and location!

Belgian by birth and Burgundian by choice, a “globetrotter” passionate about travel and culture, “curious about places as well as people”—as she likes to describe herself—Raphaëlle welcomes you to a stunning, imposing “’70s-style” villa (built in the 1970s) that has been meticulously restored, perched like a “balcony” and “panoramic lookout” on a gentle hill, on the well-exposed eastern slope. An enchanting setting, nestled on the edge of vineyards and meadows beneath the wooded ridges of the Mountain de Burgy (a splendid, wild forest massif perfect for exploring on foot or by mountain bike, offering exceptional views), just a stone’s throw from an elegant, listed 11th-century Romanesque church. Peace and quiet, in the heart of a small residential hamlet overlooking the picturesque wine-growing town of Viré, a peaceful village preserved with “old-world charm,” featuring small shops and its own AOC “Viré-Clessé” (made from the Chardonnay grape variety). Surrounded by idyllic countryside, nestled in the heart of the unspoiled, gentle countryside of the Upper Mâconnais, combining viticulture, unspoiled nature, and agriculture (protected as a “Natura 2000” site and a ZNIEFF for its rich flora and fauna), a succession of rolling vineyard-lined valleys, farm fields, wooded pastures, and vast Forests. A bright, luxurious holiday cottage. It features a very warm, rustic charm with contemporary touches—opulent and refined, with a colorful “neo-pop” twist. The atmosphere is enveloping, soft, cozy, and ultra-comfortable. It exudes immense style, charm, and character. Spacious, sun-drenched terrace (set in the heart of an exceptional 400-square-meter paved courtyard, featuring ample parking naturally shaded in the summer) on a vast, well-maintained 5,000-square-meter property, flanked by a pleasant, large lawned garden, filled with plants and trees, offering an exceptional panoramic view of the Saône Valley, the Jura Mountains, and—on clear days—Mont Blanc in the background.
