La Chouette Curieuse

"Fruit of the meeting of the mountain with the sea" as they like to define themselves (originally from Normandy & Haute-Savoie), Adélie & Grégory open the doors to a charming authentic character house from the early 20th century, fully renovated, steeped in history (former "miners' house" once linked to the "Houillères" of Epinac), nestled in a quiet area on the edge of a lane & the edge of meadows, a stone's throw from an elegant church dating from the 13th century (listed as a "Historic Monument"), in the heart of a peaceful little typical village. In the heart of unspoiled countryside (partly protected in ZNIEFF for its rich fauna and flora), nestled in the hollow of a green valley of meadows dominated by gentle wooded hills, a soothing landscaped setting mixing agriculture, viticulture and nature, between pastures, rivers, hillsides of vines and vast wild forests, on the borders of the bucolic vineyards of Couchois and Maranges, close to the various "belvedere" mountains of the territory culminating at more than 500m (including Mont Rome and the "Montagne des Trois Croix" classified as a "natural park" with an exceptional 360° panorama, a site steeped in history, notably Neolithic and Roman). Comfortable cottage with atypical interior architecture. Warm country character mixing "bohemian" charm and contemporary touches, combined with the exotic soul of the place (lovely terracotta tiles and original beams). Pleasant enclosed garden of 500m², planted with flowers and trees (pear and apple trees / picking possible), including a large south-facing terrace.
