Peace, space and magnificent nature can be found in this nature house, an ecological vacation home, built from sustainable materials and heated by solar panels and a heat pump. The landlords came here during a vacation 40 years ago. Immediately they fell in love with this incredibly beautiful, wild and unspoiled area. They started an organic farm. Today there are three vacation homes located in this beautiful area, eachapart, 150 to 500 meters away from the farm. This nature house is surrounded by forests, meadows, streams and lakes and offers plenty of silence and peace. The area of the house is 130 m³ (including playroom and garage). The rafters, roof, outer walls, beds, balcony are made of own oak wood, cut down by the landlords, made into planks and beams and assembled. The floors in the living and bedrooms and bathroom are of natural limestone, travertine. In the floor is underfloor heating. There is an enclosed garden of 1000 m², surrounded by nature and with a beautiful view. It is suitable for all ages, including babies. On request all the necessary equipment can be offered to make it very pleasant also for babies. Pets are welcome, maximum two, more on request.
Nature and surroundings
This nature house is located on the Artense plateau, an area of 455 km² varying between 600 and 1000 m. For nature lovers, there are many hiking trails that will take you through forests, meadows, streams and hills from the Artense plateau to the Sancy mountain massif. On the Artense plateau, you will find slightly less meadows than in the neighboring areas: on the contrary, forests are very abundant. These forests are mainly formed by beech and pine trees, as well as oak trees. Because of the large area of forests, the fauna is very diverse. Large numbers of wild animals live in the area such as red deer, roe deer, wild boar, badgers and birds of prey (eagles and buzzards).For sportsmen, there are many opportunities from skiing in winter to swimming, climbing and horseback riding in summer.Culture lovers can enjoy the old Romanesque churches and castles.The plateau of the Artense is made of granite, Auvergne is a volcanic area. In the northeast of the Artense plateau you will find the mountains of the Sancy, culminating in the Puy de Sancy (1886 meters). Despite its aspect of a "normal" mountain, the Puy-de-Sancy is really a volcano: the highest in France. And of course, you can also just stay around the cottage to enjoy the peace and nature there.
