Gîte du Bois de la Velle

Julie & Patrick welcome you to an authentic, traditional, characterful 19th-century farmhouse, carefully restored, nestled as a "lookout" on the side of a gentle, exposed hill, overlooking a vast plateau of bucolic wooded bocage in a "panoramic belvedere", on the edge of a small rural agricultural & residential hamlet. Peace & absolute tranquility in the heart of the rolling Charolais countryside, nestled in a cul-de-sac on the edge of pastures (welcoming horses as privileged neighbors in season), in the hollow of a sublime, preserved setting of nature & greenery. A true "mini green paradise", 100% relaxing, offering the rare privilege of being able to observe wildlife (roe deer, hares, foxes, birds of prey, dormice, various birds...). A literal haven of peace & rest in the heart of an exceptional setting. Spacious, comfortable gîte. Warm, slightly vintage country charm, enhanced by the exotic feel of the place (lintels and original stone walls). A unique panoramic living room, ultra-bright, opening onto the surrounding countryside. Plenty of charm. Cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Large exposed balcony-terrace with superb unobstructed views. Pleasant private garden opening onto the meadows, featuring a shaded relaxation area under reed screens, nestled on a magnificent, meticulously landscaped property (full of flowers, vegetation, and trees) housing a pétanque court naturally shaded by the trees and a "mini pond". Sumptuous panorama and landscapes. Composition: Gîte adjoining the owners' second home (total independence in a wing of the building). Wi-Fi. Electric heating + wood stove. Gîte on the 1st floor (ground-level access). Ground floor: kitchen, living room. 1st floor: bedroom (double bed 150x200cm), bathroom (shower/WC). Balcony-terrace + garden (reserved space) + covered carport + bicycle storage + private parking. Shared access to the entire property (including pétanque court & mini pool). Amenities including supermarket 9 km away. Sublime landscaped setting! A literal haven of peace and relaxation! Authentic, traditional 19th-century farmhouse with character, carefully restored, nestled as a "lookout" on a hillside, in a peaceful setting in the heart of the unspoiled Charolais countryside, on the edge of a peaceful mini-hamlet, 9 km from Charolles, the "Charolais Venice", the famous city of Charles the Bold (all amenities on site, including a supermarket). Absolute tranquility immersed in a sumptuous, hilly rural setting, nestled in the hollow of the gentle Arconce valley, combining agriculture and nature (protected as a ZNIEFF for its rich ecosystems), in the heart of the famous bucolic local bocage dotted with ponds and rivers, not far from a vast wild forest. On the routes of the Romanesque churches circuit & several marked footpaths (connected to a vast network of "green walks" crisscrossing the territory, to be explored on foot or by mountain bike), 14 km from the GR7, 14 km from the Voie Verte du Canal du Centre (joining the Eurovélo6 as well as the "Tour de Bourgogne à Vélo"), 20 km from the Voie Verte Véloire (along the Loire, the last wild river in Europe, protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone") connected to the "Cycloroute71" (Tour de Saône et Loire à vélo), about thirty km from the first vineyards of the Mâconnais & Côtes Chalonnaises and about fifty km from the vineyards of Beaujolais, the first vineyard in the world recognized as a "UNESCO Global Geopark" ("Burgundy Wine Route" & Beaujolais Wine Route to explore). In the heart of the magnificent territory of Charolais-Brionnais (labeled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire"), an ultra-renowned breeding land rich in sumptuous landscapes and an exceptional historical heritage, cradle of the world-renowned AOC cattle breed, at the crossroads of Mâconnais, Clunisois-Tournugeois (labeled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire") & Chalonnais, not far from Beaujolais, Sologne & Montagne Bourbonnaise and Pays Roannais.
