Gîte de Sermaize
Owners for a century, the Mathieu family welcomes you to a very rare and authentic 16th-century fortified house, fully restored and exceptionally well-preserved. This exceptional Renaissance-style building, steeped in history, was once the hunting lodge of the Lord of Busseuil (where the lords of Brionnais once gathered for grand hunts). It is arranged in a star-shaped pattern with several outbuildings around a large courtyard, a perfect natural pétanque court. Enjoy complete tranquility in a small rural hamlet (residential and agricultural) nestled in the heart of the unspoiled countryside, on a sublime plateau of rolling bocage (with peaceful Charolais cows as close neighbors), crossed by a bucolic, fish-filled river, near a beautiful wild forest. A true haven of peace and relaxation, immersed in a picture-postcard setting. The cottage offers comfortable accommodation, is exceptionally spacious, and boasts generous proportions. A warm, rustic charm, with a touch of vintage, blends seamlessly with the unique and utterly captivating ambiance of a château (magnificent stone fireplace and spiral staircase, vaulted ceilings, beams, French-style ceiling, carved stone lintels, etc.). A large, naturally shaded gravel terrace opens onto a pleasant lawned and landscaped garden (with a swing and ping-pong table). Stunning, unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside.
