Gîte de la Chaume

Elegant "bourgeois" villa of character (built in 1990) nestled in the quiet, on the edge of a vast plateau of wooded meadows (hosting peaceful cows in season), a stone's throw from a majestic 11th century Romanesque church (a heritage marvel of Burgundy classified as a Historical Monument), in the heart of a charming typical little village. Perched on a "panoramic promontory" on a gentle hill overlooking the beautiful surrounding countryside, on the site of a Gallo-Roman fortress followed by a Benedictine priory from the 6th century (as evidenced by a fabulous treasure known as "of Gourdon", discovered in 1845 by a young shepherdess in a field near the gîte, now partly kept in Paris at the museum of the National Library of France), among the oldest villages in the department of Saône-et-Loire, Gourdon enjoys a magnificent preserved landscape setting (protected in ZNIEFF and various "Natura 2000 Zones" for its rich flora and fauna), combining agriculture and the great outdoors between hedgerows, numerous large lakes and ponds (several of which are equipped for swimming and water sports) and beautiful wild forests, not far from the first vineyards of the Mâconnais (first vines nestled about fifteen kilometers away). A very comfortable and spacious cottage. The large living room features a beautiful cathedral ceiling, enhanced by an authentic and majestic fireplace from an 18th-century château. It exudes a warm, rustic charm with a touch of vintage. The cozy, luxurious, and refined atmosphere of this charming, 1980s-inspired home offers a delightful escape. Full of character and character, the cottage boasts a large, sunny and shaded terrace opening onto a lovely courtyard, a veritable natural pétanque court, nestled within a pleasant, enclosed property. The grounds are meticulously landscaped with lawns, greenery, and trees (cherry, apple, and mirabelle plum trees are available for picking during your stay). Enjoying a superb, unobstructed view of the rolling, bucolic countryside around Montceau-les-Mines, with the famous town of Le Creusot visible in the distance (a town with a prestigious industrial past, the ancestral home of the Schneider dynasty).
