A Secluded Escape in the Heart of Wine Country Immerse yourself in the beauty of the French countryside with five acres of private land, nestled within the world-renowned wine regions of Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé. The perfect blend of tranquility and exploration, where nature thrives and relaxation is effortless. Watch red squirrels play in the trees, admire kingfishers gliding across the lake, and when night falls, gaze up at a sky untouched by city lights—a true stargazer’s paradise. Whether you're looking for a peaceful getaway or an adventure-filled escape, this space is perfect for: - Family vacations filled with laughter and nature walks - Friends reconnecting over local wines and shared memories - Cyclists eager to explore scenic countryside routes - Carp anglers enjoying the serene waters - Work travelers seeking focus and tranquility Our self-contained first-floor apartment is part of our home, where we live on-site. The area is delightfully rural—so while you’ll enjoy the peace and privacy, you’ll need your own transport, as there are no bars, clubs, or bus services within walking distance. A short 10-minute drive brings you to the nearest town, where you’ll find local cafés, restaurants, and essential shops. Your stay includes exclusive access to the first floor, accommodating up to six guests with two double beds (one en suite) and two singles. Surrounding the home, the gardens are yours to enjoy—perfect for unwinding with views over the lake. When no anglers are present, feel free to take a stroll down to the water’s edge and soak in the peaceful setting. While swimming isn’t permitted, the lake provides a tranquil backdrop for your stay. Unfortunately fishing is not included in your stay via this site. If carp fishing is your passion, please take a look at our website to book your next trip. You will find us under lac de Lumiere fishing holidays and accommodation.
