Gîte du Lac

Exceptional residence set in magnificent landscaped grounds! Very comfortable gîte - including en-suite bedrooms & access to a lovely heated swimming pool (5x10m) - nestled in a delightful authentic "medieval base" château nestled in the peace and quiet of a 1 ha property (adjoining the owners' farm), 7 km from the charming medieval & commercial town of Marcigny, a "Cluniac site" famous for its Monday morning market created in 1266 (many amenities on site, including supermarkets). Peaceful little rural hamlet nestled in a splendid setting of gentle rolling countryside, on a plateau overlooking the verdant Arconce valley in the heart of the bucolic Brionnais bocage, just a stone's throw from the picturesque, perfectly preserved village of Anzy-le-Duc (famous for its sumptuous, listed 11th-century Romanesque church), close to the banks of the Loire (the last wild river in Europe to be classified & protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its rich ecosystem), bordered by the "quiet canal" linking Roanne to Digoin. Ideally located on the route of the Romanesque church circuit, a marked "balade verte" footpath (a vast network of hiking trails of the same type to be discovered throughout the region) & a referenced 55 km "Coup de Cœur" cycling loop (two other identical 49 & 63 km circuits accessible within 10 km), 3.5 km from the Voie Verte "Véloire" (connected to EuroVélo6), 7 km from a referenced 30 km "Coup de Cœur" mountain bike route, some 30 kms from the first vineyards of the Côtes Roannaises & some 50 kms from the Beaujolais vineyards. Right in the heart of the sublime Charolais-Brionnais region (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), cradle of the world-renowned AOC cattle and sheep breeds, rich in sumptuous landscapes and an exceptional historical heritage, at the crossroads of Sologne & Montagne Bourbonnaise and Pays Roannais, not far from Mâconnais-Clunisois and Beaujolais. Ideal location for easy access to several départements (at the crossroads of the Allier, Loire & Rhône rivers): 21 km from Paray-le-Monial, 22 km from Digoin (& its river marina linked to the famous Canal du Centre), 24 km from La Clayette, 28 km from Charlieu (& its exceptional Romanesque Benedictine abbey), 25 km from Charolles, 37 km from Roanne & 49 km from the famous PAL theme park. A charming resort with 100% change of scenery, ideal for a relaxing "countrybreak" in "tribe" mode, with the option of lounging by the pool as a bonus!

Authentic, delightful "medieval base" château, remodeled over the years, steeped in history & carefully restored, nestled in a peaceful 1 ha park with century-old trees and a lovely heated swimming pool (10x5m), adjoining the owners' farm (organic Charolais cows) in a peaceful "family" rural mini hamlet. Superb landscaped setting, nestled "en balcon" & "belvédère panoramique" on an exposed hill overlooking a bucolic meadow valley crossed by a river, in the heart of the gentle rolling Brionnais countryside & its sumptuous bocage dotted with ponds, close to a vast national forest. Splendid unobstructed views over the surrounding countryside. Just a stone's throw from the charming & perfectly preserved village, famous for its iconic & very elegant 11th-century listed Romanesque church (one of the most beautiful in Burgundy) & its magnificent 12th-century Prieuré. Very comfortable gîte. Very spacious. Rooms of noble dimensions. Beautiful volumes. Warm, refined & cosy "bourgeois" country feel, combining a "châtelain" spirit with a contemporary ambience, enhanced by the rich traces of the original building (molded doors, woodwork, marble mantels, parquet floors, rosettes & moldings...). Enormous charm & character. Cosy & ultra-cozy. Pleasant "reserved space" in the garden under the trees.
