Les Balcons de la Chaux
Guide-interpreter lecturer of the Morvan Park & "writer poet" (having published around fifteen collections), Marie-Paule opens the doors to a charming, authentic, traditional Morvan farm from the late 18th century, dressed in beautiful Virginia creeper, steeped in history & fully restored, leaning "on a balcony" & "panoramic belvedere" on the south-east facing hillside facing the foothills of Haut Folin (highest point of the Morvan massif at 901m), in the heart of a peaceful little rural hamlet. Absolute tranquility, in the hollow of a magnificent preserved rural & natural setting, overlooking a bucolic valley of wooded meadows protected in ZNIEFF for its rich fauna & flora (welcoming the famous Charolais cows in season), on the edge of an immense wild forest. Beautiful landscaped setting. A true haven of peace & rest, 100% relaxing. In the heart of a gently rolling mountain countryside, blending agriculture and nature, between verdant hedged fields, rivers, ponds, and deep forests. Spacious, comfortable cottage. Atypical architecture (interconnecting rooms). Warm, rustic country character blends with the completely exotic feel of an old country house (magnificent fireplace mantel and original beams). Pleasant private garden, planted with trees and vegetation, with a naturally shaded terrace area, nestled on a vast 5,000m² property, partly sloping, including several playful areas for relaxation and rest (hammocks). Magnificent panorama and splendid unobstructed views of the mountain range and surrounding countryside. Composition: Gite adjoining the owner's home (complete independence). Wi-Fi (fiber). Heat pump heating. Fireplace. Air conditioning. Ground floor: living room-kitchen-lounge, 1 bedroom (3 single beds 90x190cm including 2 bunk beds), hallway, bathroom (shower/WC). 1st floor: mezzanine bedroom (double bed 140x190cm). Private garden + parking. Bicycle storage. Shared property (5000m²). Mini-market 9 km. Supermarket 18 km. An absolutely enchanting haven of peace and relaxation, in the heart of the Morvan Natural Park, in the footsteps of Vercingetorix and Caesar! Charming, authentic, traditional Morvan farmhouse from the late 18th century, fully renovated - nestled in a peaceful setting on a pleasant 5000m² property - nestled "on a balcony" on the foothills of Haut Folin (the highest point in the Morvan massif), neighboring the equally "iconic" Mont-Beuvray, 9 km from the prestigious Gallo-Roman archaeological site of Bibracte, labeled "Grand Site de France" and 18 km from the commercial town of Etang-sur-Arroux (plenty of amenities including a small supermarket). Absolute tranquility, sublime panorama & magnificent landscaped setting, nestled in the heart of a peaceful little rural hamlet in the hollow of a bucolic valley of wooded meadows on the edge of an immense wild forest massif, soothing rural & natural setting preserved in large part protected in "Natura 2000 Zone" & ZNIEFF for its remarkable ecosystems. Ultra-privileged location not far from the Romanesque churches circuit, ideally located on the routes of numerous marked hiking trails in "green walks" (very extensive network of hiking trails of the same type to explore on foot or by mountain bike in the area) & the legendary GTMC mountain bike circuit (Grande Traversée du Massif Central), 1.5 km from the renowned GRP of the "Tour du Morvan" connected to the nearby GR13 & GR131, 2 km from the "Cycloroute 71" route (Tour de la Saône-et-Loire by bike), 18 km from a marked mountain bike route ("Green Itinerancy in Autunois-Morvan"), 23 km from the Green Way "from Morvan to the Vineyards" and around fifty km from the first vineyards of Couchois (Côtes Chalonnaises / adjoining the famous Côtes de Beaune & Hautes Côtes de Beaune) & the "Route des Grands Vins" extended by the illustrious "Route des Grands Crus" (crossing the legendary wine-growing villages of Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, Meursault, etc.). Prime location in the heart of the Autunois-Morvan region, a sublime territory steeped in history, traditions, legends and mysteries, rich in a very rare historical heritage (ancient, medieval, industrial, etc.) as well as grandiose landscapes, on the border of the Nièvre (territory of the "Great Lakes of Morvan"), at the crossroads of the Côte d'Or. Ideal for exploring: 23 km from Autun (labeled "Town of Art & History" with 2000 years of human presence), 26 km from Château-Chinon, 31 km from the famous Paldenshangpa Buddhist temple, 31 km from the departure station of the "Vélorail du Morvan" (22 km of unusual nature walks), 32 km from the renowned Lac des Settons (supervised fine sand beach, water sports center & multiple aquatic activities), 39 km from the unusual nature amusement park "Diverti'Parc", 41 km from Le Creusot (renowned Parc d'attraction des Combes / Gare Creusot TGV 50 km away) & 51 km from the medieval village of Nolay. A perfect "bubble of serenity" for a rejuvenating "breath of fresh air" like a "break out of time"! For lovers or families!
