Cyclocross bikes might be what you are looking for.
There are lots of brands, frame materials, etc. I have two cyclocross bikes: a Waterford X-12 made in USA, and a Surly Cross Check made in Taiwan. Both my bikes are steel. I like steel, ymmv.
Cyclocross bikes are kind of like spry sturdy road bikes. They are built to have clearance for juicy tires and the bottom bracket is higher so you can get over oogly-bits in your way.
Here are a couple pretty things to look at:
