Les Grenouilles - Saint Aubin EN Charollais

Raphaëlle welcomes you to a charming, authentic, characterful 15th-century stable, steeped in history and carefully restored, quietly located on a vast 10-hectare family estate (formerly a "stronghold" with a fortified castle, a historic estate of which an elegant and exotic watchtower still remains) composed of several buildings, all perfectly renovated, nestled in a star-shaped formation around a large interior courtyard. Total tranquility in the countryside, in the heart of a mini rural hamlet nestled in the heart of the bucolic Charolais bocage, on a vast "open" plateau of pastures and meadows (with the famous "local" cows as peaceful neighbors), a stone's throw from a beautiful, preserved forest. Very comfortable gîte. Ultra spacious. Vast, very rare 80m² living room enhanced by unusual original vaulted brick ceilings ("voûtins"). Warm, country character in the spirit of a sweet "family home". Lots of charm and character. Very well-equipped (especially for children). Pleasant garden offering a magnificent unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside, completely unoverlooked, featuring an unusual and beautiful natural swimming pool (8x4m). You'll also enjoy a pétanque court and an orchard for the pleasure of fresh and organic fruit during your stay (apple, pear, fig, etc.). Composition: Detached house adjoining a second gîte (complete independence). Wi-Fi. Oil-fired central heating + fireplace (pleasure fire only). Ground floor: living room-kitchen-lounge, laundry room, separate toilet. 1st floor: 4 bedrooms (2 single beds 90x190cm in each), including 2 with private bathroom/toilet (one with bathtub / one with shower), bathroom (bathtub), separate toilet. Shared grounds for the gîtes (3000m²), natural swimming pool (8x4m), pétanque court, spacious carport (no allocated space) & enclosed kennel for dogs. Dogs are not allowed "pool side".
