Owners of the place for a century, the Mathieu family welcomes you to a very rare authentic "fortified house" of character from the 16th century, fully restored, an exceptional Renaissance-style building perfectly preserved and steeped in great history, former "hunting lodge" of the lord of Busseuil (once gathering the lords of Brionnais during great hunts), leaning "in a star" with several outbuildings around a large courtyard, perfect "natural pétanque ground". Total tranquility in the heart of a small rural hamlet (residential & agricultural) nestled in the unspoiled countryside in the hollow of a sublime hilly bocage plateau (with peaceful Charolais cows as close neighbors) crossed by a bucolic river full of fish, near a beautiful wild forest. A true haven of tranquility 100% relaxing, immersed in a literal "postcard setting". Comfortable cottage. Ultra spacious. Beautiful volumes. A warm, bourgeois, slightly vintage country feel blends with the unusual, chateau-style ambiance of the property, offering a completely exotic setting (magnificent stone fireplace mantel and spiral staircase, vaulted ceilings, beams, French ceiling, engraved stone lintels, etc.). A large gravel terrace (naturally shaded) opens onto a pleasant lawned and wooded garden (swing and ping-pong table). Superb unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside.
