A polyglot and globetrotter with a passion for travel (having visited some fifty countries), and a pastry chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant, Eloïse welcomes you to a charming, authentic 17th-century farmhouse, steeped in history and fully restored, nestled on a 5-hectare estate, largely untouched (a family property since its origins), which also includes the elegant neighboring manor house. Peace and tranquility abound on the edge of a vast plateau of fields and wooded meadows, in the heart of a peaceful residential hamlet, bordering a delightful, typical little village with a few small shops and a supermarket, nestled on the banks of the Dheune (a bucolic, fish-filled river), between the Chalonnais and Beaunois regions, at the edge of the Gergy forest, the literal "green lung" of the area dotted with ponds. The surrounding countryside is pleasant and unspoiled (classified as a ZNIEFF for its rich fauna and flora), a soothing landscape of gently rolling plains blending agriculture and nature, between cultivated fields, meadows, and vast national forests (including one protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its rich ecosystems), just a stone's throw from the crossroads of the vineyards of the renowned Côtes de Beaune, Hautes Côtes de Beaune, and Côtes Chalonnaises. This spacious and very comfortable gîte boasts a warm, rustic charm with contemporary touches, a delightful mix of vintage features (including beautiful terrazzo floors in a 1970s-style bathroom) enhanced by the unique character of the original building (preserving the old stone and wood lintels and stone walls). A cozy and inviting atmosphere. A very large, intimate garden with mature trees, featuring a spacious gravel terrace in front of the cottage (sunny and/or shaded) and a lovely herb garden, complemented by a gentle meadow adorned with a fruit orchard (raspberry, apple, mirabelle plum, cherry, plum, apricot, pear, walnut, etc. / fruit picking possible during your stay), offers a beautiful, unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside and the Dheune plain.
