Le Logis de l'Echevin

Sublime setting in the very heart of the Chenas vineyards! Comfortable, spacious gîte - featuring a beautiful swimming pool (4x8m), a vast, well-kept park & a bucolic little pond shared with the owners - nestled in the peace and quiet of an authentic, carefully restored 1630 hunting lodge, nestled on a family wine estate steeped in history (AOC des crus du Beaujolais labelled "Terra Vitis" because it's farmed organically). Peaceful little residential hamlet, 2 km from the charming, typical market town of La Chapelle-de-Guinchay (all amenities on site / rare village officially included in both the Beaujolais and Burgundy vineyards), nestled in an exceptional, literally magical & enchanting winegrowing landscape overlooking the Saône valley. Ultra-privileged location on the borders of the Mâconnais & Haut Beaujolais mountains, at the very southern tip of Burgundy, in the extension of the famous "Val Lamartinien", on the "Burgundy Wine Route", the Romanesque church circuit and magnificent hiking trails connected to the famous GR76, 12 km from the "voie verte". Prime location at the crossroads of the Rhône & Ain départements, at the crossroads of the Mâconnais, Beaujolais, Clunisois-Tournugeois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire") & Bresse regions, rich in grandiose landscapes, exceptional heritage and world-renowned gastronomy. Ideal for exploring (A6 & RCEA connection 12 km away): 6.5 km from the renowned Touroparc Zoo animal park, 10 km from the Mâcon Loché TGV station, 13 km from the landscaped jewel of the Solutré & Vergisson rocks, classified as a "Grand Site de France", 14 km from Mâcon, 30 km from the famous abbey town of Cluny & Villefranche-sur-Saône, 44 km from Bourg-en-Bresse, 47 km from La Clayette, and 49 km from Tournus. The perfect address for wine lovers or for an ultra-relaxing getaway, with family or friends, alternating multiple discoveries & "farniente" around the pool!

Both winegrowers, Marie-Luce & Pierre-Yves (from a line of winegrowers dating back to the 17th century), welcome you to their carefully restored 1630 hunting lodge, adjacent to their mansion steeped in history (which counted Lamartine among its illustrious guests), nestled on the historic family wine estate of "Château Bonnet" (AOC crus du Beaujolais, organically farmed). In a peaceful residential hamlet, nestled on a south-facing hillside in the very heart of the vineyard, overlooking a small green valley of meadows where a fish-filled river meanders. Beautiful hilly setting. Beautiful unobstructed view of the countryside and vineyards. Superb panorama & scenery. This vast, well-kept property with century-old trees (shared with the owners) features a beautiful, unusually decorated swimming pool (4x8m) (coiled in the château's inner courtyard!), a bucolic little pond (well away from the gîte) and a park with an aerated mini-wood (home to squirrels and a small henhouse for the enjoyment of young and old alike!) and a large lawned garden (a real natural playground!).
