La Maison de Marius
An authentic, meticulously restored traditional residence dating from 1905, located in the heart of the prestigious Chaumont castle estate, an exceptional 17th-century heritage site (a family property since 1418) renowned for its sumptuous listed stables, a veritable masterpiece and equestrian palace built for the grandson of King Charles IX of France by his wife, Henriette de Laguiche, Duchess of Angoulême (one of the largest private stables of the Ancien Régime in France, the most Italianate of all due to its remarkable architecture inspired by Leonardo da Vinci). Perched on a promontory, the estate also includes a castle and a romantic park with breathtaking views of the Charolais mountains, the foothills of the Auvergne, and, on a clear day, Mont Blanc. Nestled in a magnificent, unspoiled natural setting, bordering woods and meadows, it adjoins the vast, wild Avaise forest, a protected ZNIEFF (Zone Naturelle d'Intérêt Écologique, Faunistique et Floristique - Natural Area of Ecological, Faunistic and Floristic Interest). A very comfortable cottage. Warm country charm with contemporary touches, blending tradition and modernity, enhanced by the character of the original building features (terracotta tiles, fireplace mantel, staircase, unusual period stone sink). Bedrooms nestled under the eaves, creating a cozy atmosphere. Full of charm and character. Cozy and comfortable. Gently sloping natural garden. Access to the estate's beautiful walled swimming pool and private tennis court, just steps away.
