A Rapidly Growing Riverside (Lot) Gîte Business in the Lot Et Garonne

Property Description

The main building dates from 1780 with many well preserved original features.
The property offers both generous owner accommodation but also two beautiful, fully furnished luxury character gîtes for 4-6 guests in each. All renovation has been sensitively done and to a very high standard. There is no work to be done as the gîtes come fully furnished and equipped and ready to rent . This is not a project in progress but an established business.
Two large and original séchoirs (tobacco drying barns) that are in excellent condition, dominate the property of just under 8,0002 metres (almost 2 acres) with multiple additional outbuildings.
An original stone cottage with adjacent bread oven offers renovation opportunities to be converted into a third gîte. There are other outbuildings with similar potential - plus the séchoirs themselves.
Two wells providing (pumped) spring water (no cost) for both the gardens and the (large) swimming pool.
