A very peaceful landscaped setting, nestled in the heart of the unspoiled Tournugeois countryside (protected as a Natura 2000 and ZNIEFF site for its rich flora and fauna), a stone's throw from vineyards, in the hollow of a bucolic plateau of fields and hedged meadows, at the edge of a vast national forest where a tranquil fishing pond (Étang des Vernes) is hidden. A magnificent, rolling haven of unspoiled nature and greenery (perfect for exploring on invigorating walks or mountain bike rides) offering sublime panoramas and viewpoints. The cottage is very comfortable. It has a warm, "country chic" feel, enhanced by the truly unique character of an old rural building (stone walls and lintels, fireplace mantel, beams, ceilings, and beautiful original timber frame).
