Gîte de Fer - GENOUILLY

Marie-Claire & Alain (amateur beekeeper whose hives are kept well away from the gîte), welcome you to a charming authentic traditional 18th century farmhouse, steeped in history & fully restored, nestled in a quiet, "cul de sac", in the heart of a peaceful & picturesque mini rural hamlet crossed by a bucolic little river full of fish (site that once housed a mill). Absolute tranquility, nestled in the rolling countryside, a stone's throw from the first vineyards, on the edge of a beautiful meadow (home to Charolais & Limousin cows in season), under the wooded ridges of the surrounding gentle hills, at the foot of a vast wild forest massif with a literal "Sea of Stones" (geological curiosity made up of several clearings of granite blocks of all sizes over nearly a kilometer). Magnificent rural & natural setting around, partly protected in Natura 2000 Zone & "ZNIEFF" for its faunal & floral riches. Enchanting setting & site, a true haven of peace & rest. Comfortable cottage. Warm country character, a bit rustic, mixed with the totally exotic soul of an old residence. Intimate & very pleasant "enclosed hanging garden" of 80m² bordering the meadows, carefully lawned & planted (supported by historic dry stone walls), with a shaded terrace under reed. Exposed terrace at the foot of the cottage. Access to pétanque ground & ping-pong table. Composition: Gite adjoining the owners' home (total independence). Wifi (fiber). Wood + electric central heating. Wood stove. 1st floor (access by external staircase): mini veranda, kitchen, living room, 1 bedroom (2 single beds 80x190cm which can be twinned into a double bed 160x190cm), bathroom (shower), separate toilet. 2nd floor: 1 bedroom (single bed 90x200cm + 2 single beds 80x190cm), TV lounge.
