(France)

Ideal site to create an Eco Holiday Village
Existing business with permission to build 4 half roundel wooden chalets
Holiday rental with high yield on investment
Property included on the commune 10 year tourism plan
Facility for extra revenue from fish farming, campsite and woodland

LOCATION
A chance to become part of French village life and join a real community. The property nestles in 22 acres of outstanding natural beauty. In a secluded location at the end of a 300m driveway, yet only 10 minutes from the town of Parthenay with full amenities.

These include all levels of schooling, theatres, shops and many traditional festivals throughout the year. Poitiers Airport with regular flights to the UK is 30 minutes away

Development Opportunities
The current owners have a dedicated website and offer carp fishing holidays to the UK, Dutch and German markets. Holidays are usually sold as an exclusive booking, with average revenue per chalet of £900.00/week.

The domain and full database is included in the sale. Additional revenue can be generated from leasing the lake off season for local syndicate angling, renting tackle and bicycles and catering for guests

The owner?s chalet has permission for a pitched roof and could be re-designed to create a spectacular lakeside 3 or 4 bed family home. The surface area can be increased by 30% giving ample possibility of a beautiful traditional house
There is permission to construct 4 half roundel wooden chalets (52m2 each) in the oak tree copse, beside the lake.

It has been indicated that further chalets are not a problem with the planning department. In place are plans for a shower block, guest room and laundry/washroom (Possible tourist grant of 30%)

The mayor is very keen to support a campsite at the property and there is an area of woodland that would lend itself to caravans and tents. Research has been made into siting yurts and tepees for more adventurous holidaymakers (information can be supplied)

Fish Stock Sales
Additional revenue can be made by ?rearing on? fish for restaurants and bait with sales possible every two years. There are also areas which would be ideal as a fish breeding unit for large specimens and a large, second lake of approximately 4 hectares

Woodland
There is an area of natural woodland, stocked with oak, ash etc. These would be a superb nature trail or alternatively cultivated for firewood or planted with poplar trees to create a future income

Grazing Land
Two fields are currently leased to a local sheep farmer for a yearly income. Additional pasture is suitable for horses and livestock

Lake
The lake is well stocked (records available) and 3 hectares (5acres) in size, clay lined and spring fed. Stocked with specimen carp over 40lbs, mirrors and commons, pike, tench, roach and sander. The lake is clear, rich with natural food sources such as swan mussels and bloodworm. There is a picturesque, willow planted, island and all banks are well established with indigenous trees and shrubs. The perimeter is enclosed with a bed of irises.

Access is dry with grassy banks and six swims although with potential to have more. The depths are superb, up to 3metres and there are full facilities to drain the lake, including concrete holding tanks. All permissions are in place with the necessary authorities. An aerator and boat is included in the sale

Chalets
There is a new, purpose built chalet which accommodates 6 people, located in a beautiful oak tree copse on the banks of the lake. Currently used as client accommodation with one double, one twin bedroom and a double sofa bed. Ensuite shower room and separate WC. The chalet is being offered fully furnished and with linen, crockery and satellite TV. Outside are a decked balcony, barbeque and seating area

On the lake bay is a further lodge being used as owner accommodation with excellent potential and permission to develop into a 3 or 4 bed farmhouse. Constructed of block with a special granite fireplace and pretty covered barbeque patio, having been built using reclaimed materials, including a rustic pebbled floor. The lounge (36.43m2) has a tiled floor and is pine clad. The kitchen has a traditional double sink and plumbing for a washing machine. The shower room has a washbasin and WC. Satellite TV, telephone and broadband.

Behind the lodge are various animal sheds and storage rooms. Mains electricity with enough voltage for future plans. Mains water with the added advantage of a pure well, used currently
