La Grande Ourse - SAINT PIERRE DE VARENNES | House in SAINT PIERRE DE VARENNES
2 Bedroom House in Saint-Pierre-de-Varennes, SAINT PIERRE DE VARENNES
Charming authentic old "fournier" from the 19th century (traditional bread oven), very carefully restored, nestled in the heart of a small typical agricultural village (rich with a beautiful Romanesque church from the 12th century located a stone's throw away) perched on an exposed hill, at the foot of a very old volcano (the "Volcan de Drevin", culminating at 494 m). Soothing rural and preserved natural setting, nestled on the immediate edge of a vast plateau of meadows (with the peaceful Charolais cows as neighbors...), in the hollow of the gentle rolling Creusot countryside, a succession of valleys of hedged farmland surrounded by wooded hills, bucolic fish ponds (including the vast fishing pond of Brandon with an area of 48 ha nearby) and deep wild forests to explore on foot or mountain bike (many panoramic "belvederes"). Very comfortable gîte. Warm, contemporary character enhanced by a meticulous "ethnic" decor inspired by the owners' various travels (between Asia, Madagascar, Jordan, and the Maghreb). Plenty of charm. A cozy, comfortable, and cocooning atmosphere. A large, exposed and shaded terrace opens onto a pleasant little natural garden featuring an imposing cherry tree, surrounded by centuries-old dry-stone walls, and a rare heated "natural swimming pool." Magnificent unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside and the majestic medieval Brandon Castle (a listed 12th-century building steeped in history) in the background. Composition: Semi-detached house to the owners' home (complete independence). Wi-Fi. Electric heating + wood-burning stove. Ground floor: living room-kitchen-lounge, bathroom (shower/toilet). 1st floor: mezzanine bedroom (double bed 140x190cm), bedroom (2 single beds 90x190cm which can be twinned into a double bed 180x190cm), separate toilet.

Authentic old "fournier" from the 19th century (traditional bread oven) elegantly renovated into a very comfortable holiday home - with a beautiful heated swimming pool (3x10m) in natural swimming pool (private use during dedicated hours from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.) - nestled on the edge of meadows in the heart of a small typical village 8 km from Le Creusot (all amenities on site including supermarkets), famous industrial city steeped in great history (all amenities and numerous leisure facilities on site including the renowned Parc de loisirs des Combes) & 9 km from the charming medieval & commercial village of Couches (exceptional heritage including the famous castle of the Queen of France Marguerite of Burgundy dating from the 13th century or the seven menhirs of Epoigny, one of the most important megalithic sites in Burgundy). Soothing rural setting all around, nestled in the hollow of a peaceful rolling landscape, a succession of wooded hills, bucolic ponds, deep forests and verdant bocage valleys. Ideally located on the routes of several marked hiking trails as "green walks", 3 km from the GR137 (connected to the GR7 & GR76 as well as the superb GRP "Au Fil des Vignobles et Vallée"), 10 km from the greenway & the EuroVélo6 attached to the "Tour de Bourgogne à Vélo" (along the famous Canal du Centre, "Le Fleuve tranquille", a navigable route to discover during a boat trip or on foot), 10 km from the circuit of Romanesque churches & 10 km from the first vineyards of Couchois & the "Route des Grands Vins" (which extends the illustrious "Route des Grands Crus" crossing the legendary wine-growing villages of Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, Meursault, etc.). Prime location at the crossroads of the Côte d'Or, at the crossroads of the rich territories of Autunois, Morvan & its Natural Park, Chalonnais & Pays Beaunois, not far from the world-renowned vineyards of Côtes de Beaune, Hautes Côtes de Beaune & Côtes Chalonnaises. 12 km from Le Creusot TGV station, 15 km from Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune (& its river marina linked to the Canal du Centre), 23 km from the spa & wine town of Santenay (casino on site), 25 km from Autun ("Town of Art and History", rich in an inestimable heritage covering more than 2000 years of human presence), 37 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (labeled "Town of Art and History"), 41 km from Beaune & 45 km from the famous Gallo-Roman archaeological site of Bibracte labeled "Grand Site de France".
