Gîte de la Basse Porte

Charming authentic traditional farmhouse of character from the 19th century backed by old stables, restored with great care, perched "on a balcony" on a south-east facing hillside, on the edge of a lane, a stone's throw from the center of a picturesque little shopping village nestled around a large central square with old-world charm. Tranquility in the heart of the unspoiled Morvan countryside, nestled on the slopes of the famous Mont-Beuvray, 821m belvedere offering an extraordinary view (as far as Mont-Blanc!), occupied at its summit by the renowned "oppidum" of Bibracte, an ancient fortified Gallic town, one of the best preserved with its ramparts & districts extending over 200 ha (labeled "Grand Site de France"). Perched on an exposed plateau, in the heart of a remarkable protected site (ZNIEFF & "Natura 2000"), adjoining the verdant Méchet Valley and the Haut Folin, the highest point in Burgundy (901m), the village enjoys a magnificent, unspoiled rural and natural setting in the gentle mountains. A very comfortable cottage. Warm country character with contemporary accents, enhanced by the soul of an old residence (stone fireplace mantel, beams, stone walls with a manger and hay rack, etc.). Plenty of charm. Cozy and comfortable. Large exposed balcony-terrace opening onto a pleasant enclosed garden, overlooked by a vast panoramic terrace offering a beautiful unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside.
