Luxury farmhouses for sale Saint-Germain-du-Bois, France

A traditional, local farmhouse, with its outbuildings, just few kilometres from Louhans in Burgundy’s Bresse Country. Burgundy’s Bresse Country, set between the foothills of the Jura mountains to the east and the banks of the river Saône to the west, is composed of a plain, crossed by streams as well as ponds and dotted with a scattering of rural homes, constructed from brick and wood, sometimes white stone, topped with a steep roofing framework that used to be thatched. The house currently available for purchase features all the local codes of vernacular rural architecture. It comprises a long, quadrangular building, spanning a ground surface area of 200 m². Constructed from half-timbering and brick, it has a south-facing facade built from stone. The roofing frameworks of the adjoining houses have three slopes. The east facade, with its protruding, double, upper and lower gallery, has three bays for the main house and a single bay for the second house.

In the heart of the Jura Mountains and verdant nature, an old farm, entirely renovated, and its garden. On the outskirts of the forest, in the middle of verdant hills, the village house, which was a Jura farm until the 1930s, stands looking agreeable and calm. Dating from the 18th century, it has three floors built over a basement level. Crowned with a gabled tile roof, it presents pointed stone façades covered in ivy. Numerous windows, some with large panes, bathing the interior in light, are protected by louvred or regular shutters. The swimming pool tucked into a corner of the patio, surrounded by nature, promises moments of absolute relaxation, far from prying eyes. The main entrance is located under an arch with a double door, with glazing on its upper two-thirds. Directly to the right of the house, and flanked by a woodshed, a carport provides enough space for two vehicles. In the garden, a genuine enchantment, there is an original fountain, a lavoir bordered by a stream, as well as a swimming pool hidden from view. The murmur of water and birdsong compose the only audible melody in this small corner of nature.
