Le Loft Champêtre - SIMARD

Extremely rare and very elegant "country loft"! Former garage-warehouse carefully and tastefully renovated into an ultra-comfortable, contemporary-inspired holiday home brimming with charm - nestled on a pleasant 500m² enclosed garden complete with a pétanque court - tucked away on the edge of a pasture, on the outskirts of a typical small village, 6.5 km from the charming market town of Saint-Germain-du-Bois (numerous amenities including supermarket & swimming pool) & 12 km from Louhans, the famous capital of Bresse, known for its iconic medieval shopping street with "157 arcades" (one of the most remarkable of its kind in France and Europe) as well as for its highly regarded "Monday market" which has been awarded the "Site remarquable du goût" label. In the heart of the gentle Bresse countryside near Louhans (largely protected in various ZNIEFFs for its remarkable ecosystems), a bucolic rural and preserved natural setting combining agriculture and the great outdoors, between beautiful wild forests and vast bocage plains dotted with ponds and rivers, not far from the banks of the Seille (a rare protected natural area in a Natura 2000 zone) as well as the first foothills of the Revermont and the nearby Jura massif (traversed by the renowned GRP of the "Bresse Comtoise" attached to the GR59). Located on several marked hiking trails (including a vast network of "green walks" crisscrossing the area, to be explored on foot or by mountain bike / several accessible nearby), 5 km from the "Cycloroute71" (Tour de Saône-et-Loire by bike), 9 km from the "Voie Bressane" Green Way (connected to the Voie Bleue along the Saône River as well as to the "Grande Boucle de Bourgogne du Sud" Green Way), 13 km from the Romanesque churches circuit, about thirty km from the first vineyards of the Jura and the Côtes Mâconnaises, about forty km from the Côtes Chalonnaises and about fifty km from the prestigious, world-renowned vineyards of the Côtes de Beaune and Hautes Côtes de Beaune (various wine routes to explore including the "Route des Vins de Bourgogne" and the "Route des Grands Vins" which extends the illustrious The "Route des Grands Crus" crosses through the mythical wine villages of Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, Meursault…). In the heart of the Bresse Bourguignonne - birthplace of the famous AOC Bresse poultry - at the crossroads of the Ain & Jura departments, at the intersection of the Chalonnais, the Bresse du Jura, the Mâconnais, the Tournugeois-Clunisois (labeled "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire") as well as the Bresse de l'Ain. A prime location for exploring the region: 23 km from Pierre-de-Bresse, a designated "Town of Character of Burgundy-Franche-Comté", 28 km from Verdun-Ciel (a river marina nestled at the confluence of the Doubs and Saône rivers), 29 km from Cuisery, one of only 8 French "Book Villages", 30 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (a designated "City of Art & History"), 31 km from the medieval town of Romenay, 32 km from Tournus, 33 km from Lons-le-Saunier, 34 km from Seurre, 36 km from the rare Truchère Nature Reserve (a remarkable protected ecosystem), 40 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (a designated "City of Art & History"), 44 km from the medieval village of Brancion, and 50 km from Beaune. A delightful "concentrated haven of tranquility," unique and incredibly inspiring, for a relaxing "green escape" in ultimate comfort! Perfect for couples or families! An atypical, former "family" country warehouse, completely renovated with meticulous attention to detail, style, and taste, nestled on the edge of a pasture (home to peaceful cows in season) on the outskirts of a small, typical village with shops (and a multi-sports pitch). In the heart of the unspoiled Bresse countryside, a tranquil, gently rolling setting combining beautiful wild forests, cultivated fields, verdant meadows, and idyllic ponds and rivers, not far from the banks of the Seille (a remarkable ecosystem prized by anglers and nature lovers alike, protected as a Natura 2000 and ZNIEFF site for its rich fauna and flora, a migratory bird sanctuary, rare plant species, numerous fish including the famous wels catfish, and other wildlife). A very comfortable cottage. Spacious and bright. A very elegant, contemporary, and refined home with a decidedly "loft and industrial" feel, inspired by "country chic" and "vintage finds." A cozy and inviting atmosphere, soft and incredibly enveloping. Full of charm and character. The meticulously curated decor uses automobiles as a central theme, an inspired tribute to the former garage that occupied the property. A large sheltered terrace (complemented by a second terrace nestled on the meadow side) opens onto a pleasant enclosed garden (lawn, planted, and with trees) featuring a pétanque court, a ping-pong table, and an outdoor relaxation area around a fire pit, naturally shaded by a beautiful maple tree.
