Christine & Bernard (former railwayman, owner of magnificent "miniature train circuits" which can be visited nearby), open the doors to a charming, authentic, traditional farmhouse dating from the 19th century, fully and carefully restored (former country farmhouse), nestled in a quiet setting on the edge of meadows and lanes, in the heart of a peaceful little residential village in the gentle peri-urban Chalonnaise countryside, bordering the center of the commercial village of Saint-Marcel (with many amenities including supermarkets). Total tranquility between town and countryside, nestled in the heart of the Val de Saône, a peaceful, preserved setting combining viticulture, agriculture and nature, a stone's throw from the fields and a vast national forest dotted with ponds, the literal "green lung" of the territory, alongside a huge collection of wild forest areas surrounding Chalon-sur-Saône (to be explored during relaxing walks or mountain bike rides), very close to the banks of the Saône (a paradise for fishermen and other kayakers, a natural area largely classified and protected in the Natura 2000 Zone and ZNIEFF for its rich flora and fauna). Spacious, comfortable gîte. Warm, country feel with a vintage feel. Soft, exotic atmosphere of an old residence. Large gravel terrace overlooking the courtyard (a real natural pétanque court) opening onto a vast enclosed garden of 800m², lawned, planted and planted with trees (cherry trees, mirabelle plum trees, apple trees, raspberry bushes, gooseberry bushes, etc. / picking possible), offering a beautiful unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside. Composition: Detached house housing the owners' garage (living opposite the gîte). Wi-Fi (fiber). Heat pump heating. Single-story gîte: living room/kitchen, living room/lounge (double sofa bed 140x190cm), 2 bedrooms (double bed 140x190cm / 2 single beds 90x190cm), bathroom (shower), separate toilet. Enclosed garden (800m²) + terrace + bicycle storage + private parking. Shops including supermarkets are 2.5 km away.
