Passionate about art in all its forms, as well as the plant world, Philippe and Benoit welcome you to a very elegant and authentic 15th-century residence steeped in history (once a holiday retreat for religious dignitaries, including Napoleon Bonaparte's daughter among other illustrious guests). Meticulously restored according to traditional methods, it sits perched like a panoramic balcony on a south-east facing hillside, overlooking a vast plateau of rolling hedged meadows stretching as far as the eye can see. Enjoy peace and tranquility nestled on the edge of a pedestrian lane, in the heart of the picturesque medieval town of Mont-Saint-Vincent (the second highest inhabited place in Saône-et-Loire, after Uchon). Nestled on the foothills of the eponymous mountain, which rises to 603m, and crowned by an exceptional viewpoint (offering a 360° panoramic view across 14 departments!), this charming, perfectly preserved village boasts a rich heritage (a listed 12th-century Romanesque church, ramparts, the Assommoir tower, restored period houses, an archaeological museum, etc.), is home to numerous artisans, and enjoys a peaceful, unspoiled landscape of bucolic rolling countryside (protected as a ZNIEFF area for its rich flora and fauna), combining wooded hedgerows, large lakes and ponds, and beautiful wild forests, just a stone's throw from the first vineyards of the Mâconnais region (located about ten kilometers away). Spacious and very comfortable gîte with generous living spaces. A very elegant "bourgeois" style with contemporary touches, luxurious and refined, blending a "fifties" and "sixties" spirit, iconic design pieces (Bahaus Barcelona & Breuer armchairs, Eames chairs, Stark stools...) and a colorful "neo-pop" atmosphere in a delightful "mix and match," enhanced by the unique character of the place (beautiful marble and wood fireplace mantels, rosette, molded doors, wood paneling, terracotta tiles...) and by meticulously curated "arty" decor. A great deal of charm and character. A soft, ultra-enveloping, cozy, and comfortable ambiance, reminiscent of a warm "family home." A spacious terrace overlooking the courtyard (with a choice of sun and shade) opens onto a magnificent 3000m² property, meticulously landscaped with lawns, plants, and flowers, laid out in terraces on three levels (at the foot of the village walls and the historic ramparts). It also features a rare educational garden boasting hundreds of different species (flower garden, vegetable garden, and orchard) and breathtaking panoramic views stretching to Mont Blanc on a clear day!
