La Petite Bruyère

Exceptional setting & landscaped site! Farm outbuilding carefully converted into a comfortable holiday home (still housing the cowshed & stables) nestled in the heart of the countryside on a vast 3-hectare property with shared heated swimming pool (4x8m) - set up as a "micro-farm" with animals - located 12 km from the charming medieval & spa town of Bourbon-Lancy (all amenities & numerous leisure facilities on site, including a casino). Absolute calm & total tranquility immersed in a sublime, unspoilt setting of nature & greenery, a vast, undulating bocage glade nestled in the heart of a beautiful forest, bordering the banks of the Loire (Europe's last "wild river"), a protected site classified as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its remarkable ecosystem. Ideally located on the route of the Romanesque church circuit, a referenced cycling itinerary (linked to the voie verte), and several signposted "balades vertes" hiking trails (550 km of paths & over 200 hiking trails to discover in the area), 6 km from the voie verte (connected to EuroVélo6), 9 km from the legendary GTMC mountain bike circuit (Grande Traversée du Massif Centrale) and 17 km from Digoin's river marina connected to the "Canal du center" & "Canal tranquille" (linking Digoin to Roanne). A prime location at the very southern tip of Burgundy, at the crossroads of the Allier, Loire & Nièvre départements, on the edge of the magnificent Charolais-Brionnais region - cradle of the world-renowned AOC beef and sheep breeds - with its sumptuous unspoilt landscapes and exceptional historical heritage (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), at the crossroads of Autunois-Morvan, Sologne & Montagne Bourbonnaise and Pays Roannais. Perfect location for touring: 21 km from the famous PAL theme park, 29 km from Paray-le-Monial (famous basilica), 38 km from Luzy, 43 km from Charolles, 43 km from Marcigny ("site clunisois" famous for its Monday morning market created in 1266) & 46 km from Moulins. Possibility of renting the house's 2 gîtes (direct communication with n°3092), for a total capacity of 7 people. The perfect spot for a rejuvenating getaway, literally out of time! A real little paradise on earth for young and old alike!
