Yvane & Stéphane open the doors of a very rare authentic traditional mill built in 1810 (which once produced flour), steeped in history & very carefully restored, immersed in a bucolic "wild" cirque of vineyards & meadows, on a gentle hill, within a "dispersed" rural hamlet overlooking the charming little village of Saint-Désert. Set in the gentle, undulating wine-growing Countryside of the Côtes Chalonnaises (protected by ZNIEFF & Natura 2000 zones for its wealth of flora & fauna), this soothingly landscaped setting combines bocage, vineyard slopes & wild forests (including the nearby Givry state forest, the region's literal "green lung"). A very comfortable Holiday cottage with an unusual "avant-garde" contemporary architecture, including an atypical shower room reminiscent of a "boat cabin" or its wooded "teepee" room coiled up under the roof in the spirit of a "romantic cocoon". The warm country feel is enhanced by the exotic spirit of the place (elegant stone lintels & walls with niches, beams, superb period stone staircase). Enormous charm & character. Delightful dialogue between past & present in a cosy & cozy atmosphere. Pleasant 1500m² lawned garden adorned with a fruit orchard (cherry, mirabelle, plum, peach, quince...), opening onto the meadows of a vast 6000m² largely natural property, offering a sublime 360° view as far as Mont-Blanc on a clear day!
