Comfortable 100% atypical gîte nestled in an exceptional "building" carefully restored steeped in great history - authentic guard turret of a magnificent medieval fortified castle from the 13th century perfectly preserved - located in a quiet area, between town and countryside, on a vast wine estate of 25 ha (home to many animals in the spirit of a "micro farm") nestled on the hillside 6 km from Mâcon, the southernmost city in Burgundy (all amenities on site). Pleasant environment, in the hollow of a charming countryside and hilly wine-growing setting, succession of hillsides of vines (on site), gentle meadows and wooded hills of the vast surrounding forests.

Winegrower & "farmer" by passion (a real animal refuge, the property is home to llamas, sheep, donkeys, horses, a barnyard with swans like rabbits roaming free!), Arnaud welcomes you in an authentic guard turret of the 13th century restored to the rules of the art, adjoining the old drawbridge overhanging the moat of a magnificent perfectly preserved medieval castle, steeped in great history (family property since 1838), on a vast wine estate of 25 ha (tastings & sale possible). Beautiful neat property nestled on a balcony on the hillside in the heart of the Mâcon countryside, on a vast exposed plateau dominating the Saône valley, in the hollow of a pleasant peaceful little rural hamlet. Soothing preserved rural setting nestled in the heart of the vineyards, between bucolic meadows & wooded hills of the vast surrounding forests, a stone's throw from the center of the village (& its listed Romanesque church from the 13th century), very close to the charming shopping town of Charnay-lès Mâcon (many amenities on site). Lovely cottage 100% atypical & unusual. Warm contemporary country character, enhanced by the exceptional original architectural ornaments (sublime “star” frame, imposing fireplace mantle, etc.).
