Le Potager - Martigny-le-comte

Hélène welcomes you to a charming farmhouse of character, steeped in history & carefully restored according to the rules of the art, once linked to the elegant neighboring castle of the XVIth century that it occupies, nestled in the peace and quiet in the countryside on a vast private estate of 40 ha, rich in a magnificent "listed park" with century-old trees (American oaks, Douglas firs, cedars, giant sequoias ...) accessible for relaxing walks. Nestled "on a balcony" on a southern plateau overlooking a peaceful typical village (& its Romanesque church of the 12th century), the property benefits from a beautiful exposure & a sublime panorama of the Charolais bocage, extending as far as the eye can see like a literal postcard landscape.
