Lovely country house from 1850 carefully restored & steeped in history (former village café, "family home" for 6 generations) nestled on the edge of a meadow where peaceful sheep graze, on a south-facing plateau overlooking a "balcony" green valley. Absolute calm in the heart of a small rural hamlet nestled on the hillside in the countryside, in the hollow of a magnificent preserved rural setting of gentle mountains. Ultra-privileged location between town and countryside, 5 km from Chauffailles, a charming typical town & trader nestled in the foothills of the Haut Beaujolais mountains, a historic center of the 19th century textile industry (weaving museum to discover), with all the shops & services and offering many sports & leisure activities (equipment and play areas for children on site). Comfortable cottage. Very spacious. Warm contemporary country character combined with exotic traces of the old original building (historic stone fireplace mantel, door lintels and stone window with old hinges...). Large gravel terrace (exposed & shaded) opening onto a spacious pleasant perfectly landscaped garden (ideal playground for children with swing & slide) on a vast property of 3000m² including an unusual small private forest, naturally flowery (lily of the valley, daffodils, holly , acacias, hazelnuts, chestnut trees…) sheltering a shaded picnic area (dedicated table). Superb panorama on the mountains of Roannais & Beaujolais. Composition: Detached house on 2 levels. Wireless. Electric heating + fireplace.
