Property description
Maison de Maître
The estate firstly comprises a wonderful manor house, dating from 1717, completely renovated and the permanent residence of the owners. With a total of 300m² of living space, there are spacious reception areas, 5 large bedrooms (3 with en-suite bath or shower rooms) and a large, easily convertible attic of 165m². The manor has exposed beams, terra cotta tiles and authentic wooden floor panels and is completely centrally heated and has 6 original open fireplaces. There is a large terrace at the rear of the house.
Barn
Attached to the manor house is a large barn (155m²) with lots of parking and storage space, a built-in tool shop, closed section for the central heating system and a mezzanine for extra storage.
Cottages
Situated apart over the estate there are 5 superb quality cottages with a living space of app. 120 m² (3) and 80 m²(2), all with gardens and terraces, used as all-year-round holiday accommodation sleeping a total of 27 guests.
Each of the 5 cottages have spacious and comfortable living quarters, all renovated to a high degree with many original features like open fireplaces, heavily beamed rooms and exposed stonework and fully furnished and equipped.
Land
The property sits on a plot of 1.75 hectares which stretches down into a beautiful valley, where the owners have developed a large vegetable garden using water from the natural springs on the land. It is possible to arrange for a small camping site on this plot; an independent entry, water and electricity are already available.
You’ll find large lawns with fruit trees at the rear of the manor house and around the swimming pools and tennis. Next to the manor house there is a park with many old trees and flower gardens with a shaded sitting/dining area. All houses and pool area have gardens with trees, many flowers and plants or flower boxes. For guests there are two separate parking spaces.
Facilities
12 x 6 meter illuminated and fenced swimming pool with shower, toilet and sheltered terrace
3 x 4 meter children’s pool
Hard surface tennis court
Children’s play area
Volley and badminton field
Business potential
From an investment standpoint the property is interesting, having a thriving lettings business with regular repeat bookings; as an average the cottages are let for a total of 70 weeks. Actual bookings for 2007 in March are already up to 50 weeks. Amongst the holiday makers Le Repaire is particularly interesting for larger groups (reunions of friends and family outings) who like our accommodation concept of ‘holidaying-apart-together’.
The present owners concentrated their lettings on the summer period, but these can easily be increased for the low and mid seasons. Extension of activities and income can also be realized by starting B&B-activities (two extra lodgings in manor house) and by exploiting the small camping site in the valley.
No investment is needed in renovating or decorating the properties.
Price
Included in the asking price are:
All furniture and inventory of all cottages, garden furniture and all accessories of facilities like pool equipment (equaling a value of € 135,000).
Current bookings, websites, promotional arrangements, client surveys and booking systems will be transferred to new owners.
No agency fees are due.
All in all, a genuinely exceptional estate for both investment and lifestyle.
