Retired winegrower, Martine welcomes you to an authentic traditional 19th century residence, fully restored, steeped in history (former "farmhouse"), nestled on the edge of a lane in the heart of a peaceful winegrowing hamlet full of charm & perfectly preserved, surrounded by vines, located 3 km from the typical village of Chardonnay, historic cradle of the legendary eponymous grape variety known worldwide (elegant listed 12th century Romanesque church, 12th century manor house, former tithe of the Benedictine monks of the Saint-Philibert de Tournus abbey, Neolithic dolmen "legendary stone" listed as a Historic Monument, etc.). Peace and quiet in the rolling countryside of the upper Mâconnais (protected as a ZNIEFF for its rich fauna and flora), nestled on an exposed plateau in the hollow of a bucolic valley of vineyards, meadows, and forests, on the foothills of the South Burgundy massif (a vast wilderness dotted with marked hiking trails and mountain bike trails for all levels, offering splendid panoramic viewpoints as far as Mont Blanc on a clear day!). The surrounding landscape is of great beauty. 100% relaxing. Spacious, comfortable cottage. A change of scenery, a touch of "vintage" country charm, interacting with some traces of the original building (beams, stone and marble fireplace mantel). Large, exposed and shaded terrace (southwest) opens onto a very pleasant enclosed garden of 150m², carefully planted and full of flowers, with the added bonus of a mini "herb garden" (in a container).

Half floor (2 x 3 steps): 2 bedrooms (double bed 140x190cm / 2 single beds 80x190cm), separate toilet. Enclosed garden (150m²) + terrace + private parking. Large shared garage 10m from the gîte (2 spaces possible / bicycle storage). Minimarket & small shops 4.5 km. Supermarket 9 km. All amenities 11 km. "Postcard" landscape in the lands of the legendary "Chardonnay" grape variety! Authentic traditional 19th century residence, fully restored, nestled in the peace and quiet of a peaceful and picturesque little wine-growing hamlet, located 5 km from Lugny ("the little capital of Haut-Mâconnais", the leading wine-producing cellar of Burgundy wines) and 11 km from the charming gastronomic and shopping town of Tournus, rich in a world-renowned abbey site (A6 motorway, all amenities and numerous sports and leisure facilities on site).
