Once Upon a Farm Champs-sur-Tarentaine-Marchal, Auvergne-rhône-alpes

Property Description

Sat amongst rolling green hills, this home-away-from-home is a little slice of French paradise. Arriving here, you’ll be surprised to learn this beautiful, modern home was once a farmhouse. Gone are all traces – in their place, your eyes will be drawn to the vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a stunning spiral staircase that invites you to the mezzanine to explore. This is an open home just made for socialising, making it the perfect retreat for a large family gathering or a group of friends. Of an evening, rustle up a delicious dinner and as the smell of food drifts through the home, your loved ones can be close by, seated around the expansive table enjoying a glass or two of something fruity. If the weather’s warm enough, you may prefer to dine alfresco – fire up the barbecue and take in the magnificent green views that stretch out before you.

As the day draws to a close, step outside with your uncorked bottle of wine and take in the night sky. Without light pollution, look up and you’ll see a blanket of beautiful stars overhead, ready to wrap you up in their glow. The quiet stillness of the evening is sure to send you off into a blissful night’s sleep when it’s time for bed.
