Property information

Property:

Freehold

Living accommodation:

The land covers approximately 2.2 acres and is located in a private position on the edge of the village. The land consists of two equal size plots. One plot is not built on but has a CU (outline permission to build). On the other plot is: - A 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom stone built house that has been completely modernised over the past couple of years and now offers high quality accommodation and facilities - A spacious 2 bedroom gite (with sink toilet and shower in both bedrooms) created four years ago that also offers great accommodation - A newly renovated 9m by 4.5m pool - Summer kitchen - A large shed - A very large workshop (which could be converted into 2 or three further gites),and an - Orchard. Further details on the properties and location can be found on our website at www.dreamoffrance.com.

Location:

The property is located in a beautiful countryside on the edge of an attractive small village called Arques. Within easy walking distance are:

- A Cathar castle
- Boulangerie
- Restaurants
- Tennis courts
- Horseriding (we have a close relationship with the owner of the stables)
- Lake, and
- Children’s playground.

Within 10 minutes drive is canoeing, and within 20 minutes white water rafting, both on the river Aude.

Also within 10 minutes are Rennes les Bains (a luxurious spa complex) and Rennes les Chateau (where the Holy Grail was supposedly discovered – good for tourists!).

Arques is located 40 minutes south of Carcassonne, 1 hour 15 minutes west of Perpignan and 1 hour 30 minutes south-east of Toulouse.

The area is easy to get to by air: Carcassonne is served by flights from Dublin, Stansted, East Midlands and Liverpool by Ryanair, Perpignan from Southampton by Flybe and from Stansted by Ryanair, and Toulouse from various locations by BA, Easyjet and others.

Other information

Expansion potential:

We believe that there are significant opportunities to develop the business further:

1. Advertise more widely to capture the ‘out of summer holidays market’
2. Convert the workshop into 2 or 3 further gites
3. Build other gites on the land which is already categorised as buildable.

Competition / Market:

While there are many gite complexes in France there are very few of this standard in this undeveloped corner of France.

Support & training:

Happy to help in the transfer of knowledge about the area, contacts and operation of the business and the gites.
