For Sale: Old French farmhouse with barns and ¼ acre of land in the small, rural hamlet of la Roche, about 15 miles from Cluny in Burgundy between Lyon and Dijon.  Set well off the main roads in picturesque rolling countryside, with rural views, the property is only 1 mile from Dompierre les Ormes (a traditional rural French village, with all amenities and a weekly market) and ½ mile from the N79 Expressway (“Atlantic to Geneva”) which links to both the A6 and the A10 autoroutes.  Macon-Loche TGV station is about 25 miles.

The house has two fully habitable rooms downstairs with original wood-burners (currently used as kitchen-diner and bedroom) along with a bathroom, and two further partly converted good-sized rooms upstairs.  There are two small barns adjoining the house, and another in the garden area.

This property can be lived in immediately, and also offers enormous potential for development.  The hamlet consists mostly of French inhabitants living full-time in la Roche, and a couple of second homes.  The owner is English, living in Cornwall, but also speaking French.
