La Bergerie - MATOUR

Exceptional site and setting, literally magical & enchanting! Absolute calm & picture-postcard landscapes! Lovely authentic character sheepfold from the early 19th century - steeped in history & carefully restored according to the rules of the art - nestled on a south-east facing hillside in the heart of a sublime natural & green setting, on the edge of meadows and forests, 3.5 km from the charming typical and commercial village of Matour (very many amenities and remarkable level of leisure facilities). Sublime preserved environment, nestled on the wooded foothills of the Saint-Cyr mountain (highest point in southern Burgundy) extending the Beaujolais massif and the sumptuous neighboring landscape jewel of the Roche de Solutré labeled "Grand Site de France" (located 30 km away), in the hollow of the Haut-Clunisois, splendid hilly territory of gentle mountains (partly classified as a Natura 2000 zone). Prime location on the routes of several marked hiking trails in "green walks" (connected to the nearby GR7) & mountain bike trails winding through nature, 9 km from an 88 km cycle route referenced "coup de cœur cycle loop", 12 km from the Romanesque churches circuit, 23 km from the greenway around thirty km from the first vineyards of Beaujolais & Côtes Mâconnaises and the wine routes (including the famous Val Lamartinien named after the famous French poet and writer born in the area). Ultra-privileged location at the crossroads of the Rhône & Loire, at the crossroads of Charolais-Brionnais - cradle of the world-renowned AOCs of cattle and sheep breeds - and Mâconnais-Clunisois (both territories labeled "Pays d'Art & d'Histoire"), rich in absolutely magnificent landscapes, renowned gastronomy and an exceptional historical heritage, notably medieval and Romanesque. Ideal for exploring: 20 km from La Clayette, 26 km from Charolles, 27 km from the famous abbey city of Cluny, 32 km from Beaujeu (historic capital of Beaujolais), 39 km from Charlieu, 40 km from Mâcon (Mâcon TGV station 38 km away), 40 km from Paray-le-Monial & 52 km from Digoin (& its river marina linked to the Canal du Centre). An idyllic haven of peace for a total disconnection, as if literally immersed "out of time", a stone's throw from all the amenities! A little corner of paradise for young and old! Nadine & Michel open the doors of an authentic sheepfold of character from the early 19th century, perfectly restored according to the rules of the art, nestled in the heart of nature like a literal Burgundian "alpine chalet" in the hollow of a splendid preserved cirque of meadows & forests (the rare privilege of being able to observe wildlife on site) nestled under the wooded ridges of the Saint-Cyr mountain, the highest point in southern Burgundy (unique belvedere offering an exceptional panoramic view as far as Mont-Blanc on a clear day!), a stone's throw from a picturesque peaceful little typical hamlet. Total peace & quiet (without any vis-à-vis, or close neighbors), nestled "on a balcony" on the south-east hillside exposed facing the bucolic mountains of Mâconnais & Clunisois extending as far as the eye can see. Exceptional setting and site, 100% relaxing & restful. Haven of peace and tranquility literally magical and enchanting. Breathtaking panorama & sumptuous landscapes.
