Le Logis des Fées
A charming, authentic 19th-century Burgundian residence steeped in history (formerly a winemaker's house), carefully restored and perched on a panoramic balcony in the heart of the vineyards, on a south-facing hillside. Peace and tranquility abound in a picturesque, perfectly preserved wine-growing hamlet, an "old village" nestled on the heights of the charming, typical, and bustling market town of La Roche Vineuse, one of the few communes in Saône-et-Loire to have retained its revolutionary name. It boasts numerous small shops and a notable heritage (elegant 18th-century Renaissance houses with lava roofs, wash houses and stone huts, an 11th-century Romanesque chapel, and the archaeological site of the "Carrières de la Lie," a listed historical monument). A peaceful rural and wine-growing setting, nestled beneath the wooded ridges of the Rochette mountain, shelters a rare 7-hectare "Sensitive Natural Area" ("Lande de Nancelle") adjacent to a vast, wild, and protected forest (perfect for relaxing walks or mountain biking), in the heart of the rolling Mâconnais countryside (protected as a ZNIEFF and various "Natura 2000 Zones" for its rich fauna and flora), at the very heart of the bucolic vineyards of the renowned "Val Lamartinien" (Chardonnay grapes, named after the famous French poet, writer, and politician, born in the area). Comfortable cottage. Warm, contemporary country charm blending modernity and tradition. A cozy and inviting atmosphere. A pleasant, enclosed private courtyard, graced by a beautiful linden tree offering welcome natural shade, features a large, sunny, and shaded terrace. This is complemented by a vast, well-maintained, and wooded enclosed garden of 2000m² (partially sloping with an orchard of quince, apple, cherry, plum, fig, and apricot trees), a lovely swimming pool, and a pétanque court. Enjoy a superb, breathtaking panorama of the vineyards and the magnificent landscape of Solutré & Vergisson. A truly enchanting and beautifully landscaped setting.
