Villa 1848

Elegant, character-built middle-class residence dating from 1848 - steeped in history and meticulously restored - nestling in the heart of the countryside in a residential hamlet just a stone's throw from a vast, untamed national forest, not far from the typical market town of Epinac (numerous amenities on site, including a supermarket). A major mining town dating from the late 19th century (an industrial site producing glass and coal) associated with one of France's oldest railway lines (the station still remains), now a "Station Verte" (a benchmark ecotourism label for "nature" destinations). Gentle, undulating, unspoilt countryside combining soothing hedged meadows and bucolic rivers and ponds to discover in the surrounding area.

Very comfortable gîte. Very spacious. Fully equipped to a high standard (often "doubled"). Warm country style with contemporary accents. Cosy, comfortable atmosphere. Lots of charm. Large, shaded terrace opening onto pleasant enclosed grounds of 5,000 m² (planted with trees and shrubs) with a pétanque court and a perfectly restored outbuilding housing a beautiful heated indoor swimming pool (4x8.5m with pool-house & shower/Wc) and a 4-seater sauna.
