Le Colombier du Vieux Château | House in CHASSY

Sabine and Bernard welcome you to a rare and authentic 12th-century dovecote, meticulously restored to its former glory as a comfortable and unique holiday retreat. Nestled peacefully on the edge of a bucolic pasture where their horse, Ibellino (a French trotter), grazes, the property sits on a vast 2-hectare natural estate at the foot of a majestic, perfectly restored and preserved medieval fortress dating back to 1056, a listed historical monument (a stronghold of the Dukes of Burgundy). This historic family home has been theirs for generations (guided tours available upon request). Set amidst meadows on a gentle hillside, just steps from a small forest, the castle offers a panoramic view of the charming village of Chassy, the verdant Arroux Valley, and the town of Gueugnon. Total tranquility, nestled in the heart of the unspoiled countryside of northern Charolais (largely protected as a ZNIEFF area for its rich fauna and flora), in the hollow of a vast plateau of wooded meadows (home to the famous Charolais cattle in season) dotted with fields, rivers, ponds, and forests. A magnificent, rolling landscape combining agriculture and unspoiled nature, perfect for exploring on relaxing walks or mountain bike rides. An ultra-peaceful setting and location. A truly unique cottage that has retained its original "rotunda" architecture, punctuated by elegant "nest boxes." The living room is very spacious. A warm, rustic charm with contemporary touches, enhanced by an exceptional heritage restoration (the stone cornices, the sculptural "star-shaped" roof structure, the beams, stone lintels, and period terracotta tiles remain). Full of charm and character. A cozy and inviting atmosphere perfectly complements the magical and utterly enchanting charm of the place.
