Les Glycines - CORMATIN

Marie-Véronique opens the doors of an authentic 19th century character residence nestled on a property steeped in history bordering the sumptuous 17th century Cormatin castle & its sublime 10ha gardens (literally "jewel" of the Renaissance listed as a historic monument). Formerly linked to a parchment manufacturing activity occupied by monks from the Cluny Abbey then transformed into a "filatrie" (weaving loom), the site now hosts a craft & gourmet exhibition gallery (partially open to the public). Calm & tranquility nestled in a dead end, on the edge of a small alley, in the heart of a picturesque typical village, full of charm & perfectly preserved, rich in small shops & a notable heritage (including a listed 11th century Romanesque church). Nestled on the banks of the Grosne in the hollow of the gentle rolling Clunisoise countryside, at the foot of the wooded hills of the Massif Sud Bourgogne (vast wild forest area), on a site protected in ZNIEFF & Natura 2000 Zone (for its faunal & floristic riches), Cormatin benefits from a sublime landscaped setting of bucolic meadows & groves in close proximity to the vineyards. Very comfortable gîte. Beautiful living room. Warm contemporary country character. Large balcony terrace facing the courtyard.

Charming authentic 19th century village house of character, fully restored, located in a quiet area, in the heart of the preserved Cluny countryside, in the heart of the charming typical & commercial village of Cormatin (small shops on site including grocery store) housing a sumptuous 17th century castle (one of the most beautiful buildings in Burgundy, literal "pearl of the Renaissance") and 14 km from the illustrious abbey city of Cluny (all amenities on site including supermarkets). Magnificent rolling countryside all around, mixing agriculture, viticulture & nature, between green groves, vineyards & beautiful forests, nestled at the foot of the wooded foothills of the South Burgundy massif (vast wild space partly classified as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its rich ecosystems, to explore on foot or mountain bike), in the hollow of the bucolic Grosne valley.
