La Chouette (The Owl house) is a tranquil stone farmhouse situated in a tiny hamlet 5 minutes from the friendly, bustling village of Moulins-Engilbert in the Morvan National Park. Moulins-Engilbert is host to numerous bars and restaurants, a supermarket, banks, boulangerie, patisserie, butcher, pharmacy, post office, and delicatessen.

The house stands in its own private grounds, with a separate annexe "La Porcherie" which accommodates an additional 2 guests. The property has been reonvated to a high standard and there is ample off road parking. It boasts a large, secluded garden, and a large south-west facing patio with bbq and garden furniture. There is also an adjoining orchard. In addition, there is a large stone barn which serves as a Games area. The annexe is surrounded by fields and country lanes.

The town of Autun, with its Roman history and the archaeological site at Bibracte are on the doorstep. The house is the ideal base from which to explore, and is ideal for birdwatchers and nature-lovers. We even have resident owls and red squirrels in the garden.
