Discover peace, space and beautiful nature in this ecological nature house. Freely located between forests and meadows. The house is sustainably built from its own oak wood and is heated via solar panels, heat pump or wood stove. The owners fell in love with this unspoiled area forty years ago and started an organic farm there. 800 meters away from the farm is this gîte (130 m²) with playroom and garage. The gîte is handcrafted by the landlords: from the robust rafters, roof and exterior walls to various pieces of furniture. Inside you will enjoy a natural travertine floor with comfortable floor heating; outside an enclosed garden of 1000 m² awaits you with a wide view. The house is suitable for all ages; baby facilities are available upon request. Dogs are welcome (maximum two, more on request). Experience pure tranquility and outdoor living in a unique place created with love and craftsmanship.

Nature and surroundings

This nature house is located on the Plateau de l'Artense, an unspoiled area of 455 km² at 600 to 1000 meters altitude. This paradise for nature lovers takes you along many routes through woods and meadows, along ancient rock paths, moss-strewn walls and streams to the massif of the Sancy. The area is very wooded with beech, pine and oak trees; this brings a rich fauna. With luck you will spot red deer, roe deer, wild boar, badgers and birds of prey such as the Red Kite and buzzard. For active guests, there is plenty to do: from cycling, swimming, climbing and horseback riding in summer to skiing in winter. Culture enthusiasts will enjoy the region's ancient Romanesque churches and castles. Although the plateau is made of granite, Auvergne is a volcanic region. In the northeast, the highlight among the mountains is the Puy de Sancy (1886 m): the highest volcano in France. Of course, you can also just stay at the cottage to enjoy nature in peace.

    Had a wonderful week in this house.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5/5

    Lovely vacation home in the middle of nowhere. Fully equipped for a comfortable stay in nature with all the tranquility. Very guest friendly and helpful owners. Very nice to feed your leftovers to the chickens. Beautiful hiking trail that starts from the village within walking distance of the house, 8km with quite a bit of altitude meters. From Cros also beautiful hiking trails available. From the house are also 2 routes plotted by the owner. One to a swimming spot on the creek, very nice. Just before the house a beautiful fire salamander seen

    We enjoyed, the house is a luxury to stay in with a beautiful view and a hiking trail right next door. With underfloor heating and a nice heater, it is also nice when it is a little cooler. Everything about this house is spacious. The natural materials used, which this house is built of, make this space feel nice. We have been in nature houses before but this house was really perfect.
