Marie & Noé welcome you to an authentic, characterful 19th-century stable, meticulously restored according to traditional methods. Nestled in a peaceful setting on a historic estate, it also features a centuries-old mill built by Cluniac monks in the 11th century (currently being restored). Adjoining the stable is a charming, independent gypsy caravan on the garden side. Enjoy complete tranquility in the heart of the unspoiled Charolais countryside (partially protected as a Natura 2000 & ZNIEFF area for its rich flora and fauna). Tucked away in a cul-de-sac on the edge of a small residential hamlet, bordering wooded meadows that are home to the famous Charolais cattle and horses (seasonally). Exceptional 1-hectare property, largely "natural" (featuring a small private forest crisscrossed by paths), bordered by a bucolic river teeming with fish (beaches accessible with a rowboat available), a truly intimate private natural haven and a veritable "adventure and play area" for children. Spacious and very comfortable gîte. Large 60m² living room. Very elegant contemporary country style with industrial touches, enhanced by the soul of the original building (stone walls, period beams and framework). A great deal of style, charm and character. Ultra cozy, cocooning and comfortable. Large terrace opening onto a pleasant, well-maintained garden, full of flowers, greenery and trees (3000m²), with a pétanque court, a swing and a ping-pong table.

Exceptional "natural setting", between "town & country", on a property steeped in history! Authentic 19th century stable of character carefully revisited into an ultra-comfortable charming holiday home - backed by a charming independent caravan on the garden side - nestled in the peace and quiet of an old mill dating from the 11th century, on a 1 ha estate nestled on the banks of a small river, 2 km from the center of Paray-le-Monial, illustrious sanctuary city "of the Sacred Heart" of world renown (all amenities on site including supermarkets) crossed by the famous "Canal du Centre" (to be discovered by boat or on foot).
