A beautiful, characterful 19th-century bourgeois residence, carefully restored, situated on a cul-de-sac within a vast 1.4-hectare property—featuring a lovely 4x10-meter swimming pool—in the heart of a peaceful, historic residential neighborhood, facing the “postcard-perfect” quays of the charming gastronomic and shopping town of Tournus (home to a world-renowned abbey site, a river Marina, and a unique array of sports and recreational facilities), equidistant from Dijon and Lyon. Nestled in the unspoiled countryside of Tournus (protected as a ZNIEFF and various Natura 2000 sites for its rich ecosystems), combining hedgerows, beautiful wild forests, and Vineyard-covered hillsides (the nearest vineyards are just 3.5 km away), in the heart of the Saône Valley on the wooded foothills of the South Burgundy Massif (wild and protected), just a stone’s throw from the remarkable Truchère Nature Reserve (an exceptional ecosystem, a mosaic of natural habitats, bordering the confluence of the Saône and Seille rivers). An exceptionally prime location along the routes of the Romanesque Churches Circuit, the “Voie Bleue” (running along the Saône) adjacent to the “Voie Verte” of the “Grande Boucle de Bourgogne du Sud,” and “Cycloroute 71” (Saône-et-Loire Cycling Tour), the renowned GTM mountain bike trail certified “VTT FFC” (Grand Tour of the Southern Burgundy Massif, connected to a vast network of similarly marked mountain bike trails crisscrossing the massif), hiking trails marked as “green walks” (an extensive network of similar trails crisscrossing the region, suitable for hiking or mountain biking), the GR76, and the famous GR “ViaCluny” (running alongside the historic “Chemin des Moines,” which once connected the abbeys of Cîteaux and Cluny), in close proximity to various wine routes (“Route des Grands Vins” and “Route des Vins de Bourgogne”), and just 14 km away from the renowned Mont Saint-Romain downhill mountain bike trail. In the heart of the Tournugeois-Clunisois region (designated a “Pays d’Art et d’Histoire”), at the crossroads of the Côtes Mâconnaises and Côtes Chalonnaises vineyards, where the Ain region meets the rich territories of the Mâconnais, the Bresse Bourguignonne, and the Chalonnais.
