la Ferme Saint-Christophe

A charming, authentic, traditional 18th-century farmhouse steeped in history, fully renovated into a peaceful holiday retreat, nestled quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac in a delightful, typical rural hamlet, bordering meadows (with sheep or Charolais cows as close neighbors in season). Total tranquility on the edge of a peaceful little village perched on a "belvedere" on the foothills of Mont-Saint-Vincent, an exceptional "promontory" reaching 603m and offering a breathtaking panorama (a remarkable 360° unobstructed view over 14 departments, all the way to Mont Blanc & Puy de Dôme on a clear day!), sheltering on its slopes the picturesque medieval town of the same name, steeped in history and brimming with charm (located just a stone's throw away). The surrounding countryside is magnificent and rolling (protected as a ZNIEFF and various Natura 2000 sites for their rich flora and fauna), a bucolic and preserved setting combining hedged meadows dotted with lakes and ponds, and beautiful wild forests, not far from the first vineyards of the Mâconnais region. The cottage offers comfortable accommodation. It has a warm, rustic charm, reminiscent of a gentle country house with a touch of bohemian flair, enhanced by the unique character of a perfectly preserved historic rural residence (retaining its rich original architectural features: exceptional terracotta tile floors, fireplace mantel, stone walls, exposed beams and timbers, authentic stone and wood manger, etc.). Full of charm and character. Large enclosed grounds (with badminton/volleyball net), meticulously landscaped with flowers and trees, nestled like a panoramic balcony on a sunny south-facing hillside (flanked by a fruit orchard with blackcurrants, raspberries, plums, cherries, apples, pears… / fruit picking possible during your stay). A sunny terrace opens onto a large courtyard (a veritable "natural pétanque court") with a second terrace and an authentic former farm outbuilding offering a sauna and a games room (ping-pong table) with a summer kitchen (upstairs) leading to a vast, largely sheltered panoramic terrace. Sublime landscapes and splendid unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside with the Charolais mountains in the background. An enchanting setting, 100% relaxing and rejuvenating.
