A charming, traditional 18th-century Mâconnais house, meticulously restored according to the highest standards, nestled peacefully on the edge of a lane and meadows, at the edge of a tranquil hamlet steeped in history. This hamlet once housed a priory founded in the 11th century – the remains of which still exist – dedicated to young women from the local nobility (the famous "Ladies of Lancharre"). Perfectly preserved and boasting an exceptional heritage (a listed 11th-century Romanesque church, beautiful typical houses, listed medieval tombstones, a 15th-century tile works, the fortified gate of a former royal abbey, etc.), the property enjoys a bucolic rural and natural setting, nestled beside fields at the edge of a vast forest, not far from the first vineyards and wooded hills of the South Burgundy massif (a superb wild area to explore on foot or by mountain bike). A spacious and very comfortable gîte. A warm, rustic charm with contemporary touches (punctuated by a few unusual "sixties" details) enhanced by meticulous heritage restoration (majestic exposed beams, stone and brick fireplace mantel, original stone walls and imposing door lintels, terracotta tiles, etc.). Full of charm and character. A cozy and inviting atmosphere enhanced by the unique character of the place.
