La Ferme

Charming 19th century country house, fully restored, quietly located on the edge of a lane & field, in the heart of a peaceful little rural residential village nestled on the banks of the Doubs (kayakers' paradise & ultra-renowned fishing site for its famous catfish, pikeperch or carp / remarkable ecosystem partly classified as a "Natura 2000 Zone", for its exceptional ornithological reserve rich in 160 species & very rare plant varieties). Nestled in the countryside in the heart of a beautiful, preserved rural and natural environment of hedged plains, the last commune to have hosted a floating mill on the Doubs (one of the very last in France), Pontoux has a 27 ha pond also protected in "Natura 2000 Zone" (1.5 km away), a sensitive natural area unique in Burgundy (nesting of numerous birds with more than 130 species recorded including one of the largest colonies of black-crowned night herons in Saône-et-Loire). Spacious, comfortable gîte. Exotic country character with a "vintage" spirit, mixing the traditional atmosphere of a country house and "nineties" decorative touches. Large terrace area (complemented by two other terraces, one of which is sheltered) opening onto a delightful, intimate 1000m² garden, planted with trees, plants, and flowers (mini orchard with cherry, pear, apple, and plum trees, etc.), 100% bucolic and relaxing, perfect play area for children, with a pétanque court on the courtyard side.
