Retired farmers (former breeders of Charolais cows & goats), Monique & André welcome you to a charming authentic traditional farmhouse built in the 17th century, steeped in history & lovingly restored (family property for generations), sublimated by a pretty centuries-old Virginia creeper that adorns its facade, coiled in a "panoramic balcony", on a south-facing hillside. Absolute peace and quiet in the heart of the unspoilt Cluny Countryside (protected as a Natura 2000 & ZNIEFF zone for its wealth of flora & fauna), overlooking a vast "open" valley of verdant bocage meadows encircled by wooded hills (where peaceful horses graze in season & "Roudoudou" the owners' donkey), nestled in the heart of a picturesque rural hamlet perched on a hilltop overlooking the gentle Grosne valley & its fish-filled river, just a stone's throw from the elegant listed Romanesque church (dating from the 11th century). Sublime surrounding countryside, a mix of agriculture & nature between hedged farmland & deep, wild forests. Sumptuous panorama & exceptional unobstructed view of the southern Mâconnais mountains.
