An amateur painter (some of whose works you can discover in the cottage), passionate about art and travel, Ghislaine welcomes you to a charming 1950s farmhouse (built in the 1950s), lovingly renovated and steeped in local history (formerly a cooperage). Nestled peacefully opposite meadows within a residential hamlet, bordering a bucolic little wooded meadow (which she owns), it lies on the edge of a tranquil, typical little village on the banks of the Saône (just a stone's throw away), a true paradise for anglers and nature lovers alike, thanks to its rich birdlife (you might spot kingfishers, grey herons, corncrakes, bee-eaters, and more). Once an important port for goods and timber for the Royal Navy, and now home to the second largest lock on the famous river (185m long, used by numerous pleasure boats and barges), Écuelles enjoys a peaceful, unspoiled rural setting (classified as a ZNIEFF for its rich fauna and flora), nestled in a bucolic plain of gently rolling meadows and cultivated fields, at the edge of a vast wild forest dotted with ponds (comprising several state-owned forests), a true "green lung" of the area, protected in various "Natura 2000" zones for its rare ecosystems (perfect for relaxing walks). The cottage offers excellent comfort. Very spacious and bright. It boasts a warm, contemporary country charm with a "neo-rustic" feel, combined with the gentle, exotic ambiance of a country house. Cozy and comfortable. A pleasant, enclosed garden, landscaped with plants and flowers, and featuring a choice of sunny or shaded terrace.

Composition: Detached house on a family property that also includes the owner's son's house (completely independent). Wi-Fi (fiber optic). Electric heating + wood-burning stove. The cottage is a duplex. Ground floor: living room/kitchen, lounge, laundry room, separate WC. First floor: 2 bedrooms (one with a 160x200cm double bed / the other with two 90x200cm single beds), shower room. Terrace + enclosed garden (80m²) + bicycle storage + private parking.
