Amateur painter (some of whose works you can discover in the gite), passionate about art and travel, Ghislaine welcomes you to a lovely country house from the beginning of the 20th century, carefully restored, quietly located on the edge of a bucolic small meadow (belonging to him) in the hollow of a peaceful residential area of a small village typical of the Chalonnaise countryside. Nestled on the banks of the Saône, Écuelles is home to the second "large gauge" lock of the famous river (many pleasure boats and barges pass through, for a guaranteed change of scenery...) and has a soothing preserved rural setting of agricultural plain & natural (between meadows, fields of crops, rivers and forests) nestled on the edge of a huge wild wooded area dotted with ponds (composed of several vast state forests), a real "green lung" of the territory classified & protected in "Zone Natura 2000" for its rich ecosystem (to be explored during relaxing walks). Very comfortable cottage. Spacious & bright. Large rooms. Elegant "contemporary" country character, opulent & refined, with Asian "ethnic" touches. Very charming. Warm attic rooms nestled under the roof in "cocoon" mode. Quality equipment, super complete. Large shaded terrace (supplemented by a second small sheltered terrace on the south side) opening onto a pleasant enclosed landscaped garden of 400m² (lawn, vegetated & very flowery). Composition: Semi-detached village house on a large enclosed property also housing a house rented out year-round (belonging to the owner). Wi-Fi (fiber). Electric heating + wood stove. Air conditioning in the living room. Ground floor: kitchen, living room, bathroom (shower), separate toilet, laundry room. 1st floor: 3 bedrooms (double bed 140x190cm / 2 single beds 90x200cm / double bed 160x200cm), bathroom (shower), separate toilet, office area.
