About this property
The Yellow Clown House
Nadine (former equestrian guide) welcomes you to a charming traditional 19th century character house, steeped in history and carefully restored (formerly a "wheelwright" workshop then a village café-inn), nestled in the peace and quiet of a vast natural property of 3 hectares, sheltering, on the edge of the gîte, her peaceful horses in "pasture". Peace and quiet in the heart of the unspoiled Charolais countryside (protected in ZNIEFF for its rich ecosystems), nestled in the hollow of a small typical rural hamlet, on a hilly plateau of gentle hedged meadows dotted with small rivers (home in season to the famous Charolais cows), a stone's throw from a vast wild forest (to explore during relaxing walks or mountain bike rides). Bucolic rural and natural surroundings, literally enchanting. Comfortable gîte. Ultra spacious. Large living room. Warm, slightly vintage country charm (including a beautiful 1980s kitchen) complements the completely exotic feel of the property (carefully renovated: beams, French-style ceilings, and original stone walls). A pleasant relaxation room nestled in the former bistro room offers table football, billiards, and ping-pong. A terrace opens onto a large courtyard, a literal "natural" pétanque court, with a restored bread/pizza oven (available for guests' use). Superb unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. Magnificent panorama and landscapes. Composition: Detached house adjoining the owner's house (completely independent). Wi-Fi (fiber). Gas central heating + wood stove. Ground floor: living room (double sofa bed 140x190cm), kitchen, separate toilet, relaxation room (table football, billiards, ping-pong). 1st floor: 2 bedrooms (double bed 140x190cm / 2 single beds 90x190cm), bathroom (shower), separate toilet. Terrace + courtyard + private parking. Shared garden. Horse riders welcome (without box). Small shops & supermarket 9 km away.
