Le Vernay

Absolutely magical setting in the heart of the Mâcon countryside! Elegant, traditional 19th-century farmhouse with character, fully restored to the highest standards, nestled in the heart of the magnificent vineyards of the "Val Lamartinien", in the extension of the sumptuous landscaped jewel of the nearby Roche de Solutré "Grand Site de France", 17 km (equidistance) from Mâcon & the illustrious abbey town of Cluny (all amenities on site). Total tranquility in a peaceful mini rural hamlet nestled on an exposed plateau, on the edge of meadows & a vast forest (largely classified & protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its very rich ecosystem), just a stone's throw from the first vineyards, in the heart of an exceptional viticultural & natural setting, sublime unspoilt countryside of gentle rolling mountains. Ultra-privileged location on the edge of the Mâconnais vineyards & Haut Beaujolais mountains, very close to the Romanesque church circuit, ideally situated on the "Burgundy Wine Route" & a marked "Balade Verte" hiking trail (a very rich network of similar hiking trails winding between vineyards & open countryside, to be explored on the massif), 2.5 km from the GR76, 6.5 km from the Voie Verte (and its remarkable "Tunnel du Bois Clair" at 11 km, France's longest former railway tunnel open to a Voie Verte at 1.6 km), 8 km from a 17 km "Coup de Cœur" referenced cycling loop, 12 km from a referenced mountain bike itinerary (connected to a vast mountain bike area criss-crossing the massif), 15 km from the renowned GTM mountain bike circuit (Grand Tour du Massif sud Bourgogne) & 17 km from the Voie Bleue. A prime location at the very southern tip of Burgundy, at the crossroads of the Rhône & Ain, Mâconnais, Beaujolais, Clunisois-Tournugeois (labelled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire") & Bresse de l'Ain. Ideal for easy access (A6 16 km / RCEA connection 9 km): 14 km from Mâcon Loché TGV station, 26 km from the renowned Touroparc Zoo animal park, 33 km from Beaujeu (historic capital of Beaujolais), 40 km from La Clayette, 44 km from Tournus, 45 km from Charolles & 49 km from Villefranche-sur-Saône.
