Domaine de Pondole - Saint Marcelin DE Cray

Breeder of horses & "sport ponies", Véronique welcomes you to her estate in an authentic 19th century country farm, fully restored, flanked by an unusual contemporary extension in the shape of a literal "watchtower" (offering an exceptional panoramic view of almost 360 °). In the heart of the rolling countryside, nestled in the heart of a small rural hamlet perched "on a balcony", on the southern hillside, in the hollow of a delightful setting of pastures & meadows surrounded by wooded ridges. Sumptuous panorama of the Charolais bocage & magnificent landscapes, neighboring the medieval city of Mont-St-Vincent nestled on the slopes of the eponymous mountain, a unique belvedere offering a breathtaking 360 ° view of 14 departments, from Mt-Blanc to Puy de Dôme. Very comfortable gîte with totally atypical architecture. Warm country and mountain character with contemporary accents, enhanced by a careful heritage restoration (stone walls and lintels, original beams and framework). Lots of charm and character. Ultra cozy. Spacious rooms nestled under the roofs with imposing "cathedral" volumes. Large panoramic balcony-terrace. Pleasant garden on a vast natural property of 15 ha (meadows, pastures, scrubland, small pond and private river) designed in the spirit of a "micro farm" welcoming peaceful animals in freedom (guinea pigs, a dwarf pig, geese, ducks, chickens, goats, etc.). Composition: Gite adjoining the owner's home comprising 1 guest room (total independence). Wifi. Wood central heating. Pellet stove. Shared washing machine in outdoor laundry room. 1st floor: kitchen-living room, shower room (multi-jet shower/WC). 2nd fl.: 2 adjoining bedrooms (double bed 180x200cm / 2 single beds 90x190cm that can be joined to form a double bed 180x190cm). 3rd fl.: lounge in the tower.
