Relaxing little "country corner" in the heart of nature! Absolutely magical setting! Charming traditional 17th-century farmhouse steeped in history & fully restored - with a vast garden featuring a beautiful 5x3m above-ground swimming pool - nestled in the calm of unspoilt countryside, protected as a "Zone Natura 2000" & ZNIEFF for the quality of its rich ecosystem, in a "dispersed" mini rural hamlet 8 km from the charming medieval, wine-growing & shopping village of Saint-Gengoux-le-National, a major Cluniac site and a "Cités de Caractère de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté" (many local amenities including supermarket). Absolute tranquility, nestled on the edge of meadows at the edge of a vast wild forest (the Bois du Grand Bragny), in the hollow of the bucolic Grosne valley winding at the foot of the wooded foothills of the nearby South Burgundy massif, a soothing hilly setting with magnificent landscapes, a succession of vineyard slopes, bocage, rivers, ponds & forests.
