A charming, authentic 19th-century traditional farmhouse in the “longère” style, featuring a rare and unique architectural structure with “horizontally laid tiles,” renovated by the municipality into an ultra-comfortable vacation home using comprehensive eco-construction principles (a meticulous, full restoration adhering to the stringent regional “Effilogis” standards), nestled in the heart of a peaceful little village in the Bresse Countryside. Quiet and peaceful, Bosjean features a citystade (located just a stone’s throw from the holiday cottage) and a “conservation orchard” (with apple, plum, and pear trees, blackcurrants, redcurrants… /picking allowed) and is surrounded by soothing countryside that blends agriculture and unspoiled nature, part of which is classified and protected as a ZNIEFF (Natural Area of Ecological Interest, Fauna, and Flora) for its rich biodiversity, nestled in the heart of a serene, gently rolling plain of hedgerow-lined meadows, on the edge of a vast wild Forest and close to the banks of the Seille (a river teeming with fish). Spacious and very comfortable holiday cottage. Large living area. A warm, contemporary feel enhanced by the preservation of the original building’s unusual and very elegant “tuiles couchées” walls.
