Le Tilleul

In the heart of the Morvan Massif! Authentic late-19th-century farmhouse converted into a comfortable holiday home, set in the quiet Morvan countryside on a vast 2000m² enclosed garden, in a small rural hamlet nestled in a bucolic setting of unspoilt nature & greenery. Restful, gentle mountain scenery, on the edge of meadows & deep, wild forests, nestled in the very heart of the Morvan Nature Park, on the Romanesque church circuit & on marked "balades vertes" footpaths (a very rich network of similar paths throughout the massif), 9 km from the renowned GRP "Grand Tour du Massif du Morvan" (connected to several GR), 9 km from the legendary GTMC (Grand Traversée du Massif Central) mountain bike route, 14 km from the "voie verte" (in its "all-terrain" version linked to a signposted cycle route) and some 50 km from the first Couchois vineyards & wine route (Côtes Chalonnaises adjoining Côtes de Beaune). Magnificent wild & preserved environment ideally located on the border of the Nièvre (& the "Grands Lacs du Morvan" territory) & very close to the Côte d'Or, right in the heart of the Autunois-Morvan, a sumptuous natural territory, steeped in history and imbued with legends & mysteries, rich in a very rare historical heritage and absolutely grandiose landscapes. A prime location in the heart of Burgundy, 21 km from Saulieu, 23 km from Autun (classified as a "Ville d'Art et d'Histoire", bearing witness to over 2,000 years of human presence!), 24 km from the renowned Lac des Settons (supervised sandy beach, nautical leisure center & multiple aquatic activities), 33 km from Château Chinon, 39 km from the famous Gallo-Roman archeological site of Bibracte, awarded the prestigious "Grand Site de France" label & 59 km from Le Creusot TGV station. The perfect base for a relaxing country break for two!

English by birth and Burgundian by adoption, Michelle & John welcome you to an authentic late-19th-century Morvan home, perfectly restored and transformed into a comfortable country holiday home, nestled in a charming, gentle mountain valley, on the edge of forests, fields & meadows. A peaceful little farming & rural hamlet in the Haut Morvan overlooking the bucolic Ternin valley & the typical village of Chissey-en-Morvan, the most northerly in Saône-et-Loire, nestled on the historic ancient Roman road linking Sens to Autun (remains to be visited), with a notable heritage (numerous châteaux, manor houses, fortified houses & mills) and splendid landscapes, this commune is also involved in the precursory "starry sky" project led by the Morvan Natural Park (with the prestigious "International Dark Sky Reserve" label in its sights). A charming, relaxing and restful setting, preserved by nature and greenery. The privilege of observing wildlife on site (foxes, deer, wild boar, birds...). A comfortable gîte with a delightful country charm and contemporary accents, enhanced by the preservation of rich traces of the past (original beams & French ceilings, stone fireplace mantel, floor tiles...).

Vast enclosed garden of 2000m², planted with trees and flowers, landscaped with respect for nature (maintaining "ecological continuity"). Beautiful unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside.
