Pets not allowed
Almost fifty kilometers of unobstructed views in Burgundy, we fell like a stone for that. This old farmhouse was built around 1850. After a few years of tinkering, it is now habitable again. The house is about 60 m2, with a garden of about 1,500 m2. There are two bedrooms, each with a double bed. There are two workstations and faster (fiber optic) internet than at our home in Amsterdam (thank you EU & French government). The bathroom is not big but has a sink, toilet, shower with a view and floor heating. In the brand new kitchen you will find everything you need: spices, oil, pans, oven, Nespresso, milk frother, dishwasher, washer & dryer, fridge & freezer, microwave, blender, etc. Probably you will sit most outside, on the large terrace, under an old canopy where the cows once stood under. In the morning you can watch the sun rise there, and you never get used to that. At the front of the house you can enjoy a glass of wine in the evening sun.
Nature and surroundings
Three kilometers away in St. Saulge you will find a supermarket, a very good bakery, pharmacy, doctor and Mustafa's Art Café next to the church (highly recommended, see photos). A little further drive to Chatillon-en-Bazois are our favorite supermarket (B1n) and bakery. You can make lovely walks in and around Montpillard. From the hill runs an unpaved path, and five minutes drive away is the lake 'Etang du Merle' where you can walk and mountain bike beautifully in the woods. You can also swim there in the summer, there is a children's beach with a lifeguard. If you stay a little longer there are beautiful day trips to the wine regions of Pouilly, Sancerre, Chablis and Burgundy. Other recommendations: a hike in the Morvan, the cathedral of Vezelay, the Gallic museum of Bibracte, the "castle under construction" Guedelon, the climbing forest near Nevers and rafting in the Morvan. You will find leaflets about these in the house.

Zie hierboven
Nature, peace & environment:Beautiful cottage fully equipped and with total silence except for the sounds of nature. Beautiful view from the covered terrace.
Mooi huisje van alle gemakken voorzien en met totale stilte, behalve dan de natuurgeluiden. Prachtig uitzicht vanaf het overdekte terras.

Corrie June 14, 2025 General rating:Very good, curious about the history of the house and farm.Pleasant contact with the owner.
Heel goed!
Nieuwsgierig naar de geschiedenis van het huis en de boerderij.
Prettig contact met de eigenaar.Nature, peace & environment:It was a fine converted farmhouse on a hill, with several more houses and a farm. Beautifully situated with lots of space around the house. A large veranda to enjoy in peace the view of the hills of Burgundy with the morning light and evening reds. Animals such as little owls, doves, birds of prey, fox, cows with calves and deer can all visit Indoors with a good kitchen and cozy sitting area. Pleasant shower and toilet. 2 bedrooms, with spacious double beds and little space around them, sitting area is nice and spacious only we have used it little.
Het was een prima verbouwd boerderijhuis op een heuvel, met nog een aantal huizen en een boerderij. Prachtig gelegen met veel ruimte om het huis. Een grote veranda om te genieten in alle rust van het uitzicht op de heuvels van de Bourgogne met het ochtendlicht en avondrood. Dieren zoals steenuiltjes, duiven, roofvogels, vos, koeien met kalfjes en ree kunnen allen langskomen Binnenruimte met een goede keuken en gezellig ingerichte zitruimte. Prettige douche en toilet.
2 slaapkamers, met ruime tweepersoonsbedden en weinig ruimte eromheen, zitgedeelte is mooi ruim alleen hebben wij dat weinig gebruikt.This text is automatically translated. -
Marjolein September 7, 2024 General rating:Very fully equipped cottage, lots of hiking opportunities (we often walk via a hiking app, but if you google you will also find plenty of marked hiking trails in the area), nice beds, well-equipped kitchen, green woodpeckers and little owls seen (and heard), in short: wonderful!
Heel volledig ingericht huisje, veel wandelmogelijkheden (wij lopen vaak via een wandelapp, maar als je even googelt kom je ook genoeg bewegwijzerde wandelroutes in de omgeving tegen), fijne bedden, goed uitgeruste keuken, groene spechten en steenuilen gezien (en gehoord), kortom: prachtig!
Nature, peace & environment:A real nature house: tranquility, stunning views and a wonderful environment for walking. The miles of view over the Burgundy/Morvan never gets boring and is different at every hour of the day and in every type of weather. Because we did not have a particularly good week in terms of weather, it was very nice that the cottage is so cozy inside. And really everything you need is there. The immediate vicinity is not a tourist attraction, but that's what we loved about it. If you like peace, space and nature, you are in the right place, while a number of amenities (good bakery, restaurants) are very close by. Highly recommended!
Een écht natuurhuisje: rust, overweldigend uitzicht en een heerlijke omgeving om te wandelen. Het kilometerslange uitzicht over de Bourgogne/Morvan verveelt nooit en is op ieder uur van de dag en bij ieder weertype weer anders. Omdat we qua weer niet een bijster goede week troffen, was het heel fijn dat het huisje ook van binnen zo gezellig is ingericht. En echt alles wat je nodig hebt, is aanwezig. De directe omgeving is geen toeristische trekpleister, maar dat vonden wij juist zo heerlijk. Als je van rust, ruimte en natuur houdt, zit je hier dus goed, terwijl je een aantal voorzieningen (goede bakker, horecamogelijkheden) toch heel dichtbij hebt. Een aanrader!
