Age requires us to retire from our
gites in this lovely property in the unspoilt Tarn with its excellent climate,
at a time when the £s recovery has reduced the cost for UK
buyers.
We converted the property in 2000 and have let the
farmhouse, grange and cottage as gîtes between May and September, either
individually or as one property for groups or large family gatherings. They
have provided a consistently satisfactory income thanks to repeat clients and
new leads from the property’s own established website. Marketing &
advertising costs are less than 5% of rental income.
The farmhouse and attached grange, with their full-length
SW-facing terrace 28M x 4.6M overlooking the pool, would make an impressive
6bed/5bath country-house.
The owners’ house is 80M from the main property and has
central heating and new double-glazing.
The property – professionally restored and maintained - lies in a small
S/SW facing valley. Horse-riders and ramblers have direct access into the web
of meadows and woods beyond. Village shop 1km, small shops bar and restaurant
7km, major supermarkets 16km, Toulouse and Carcassone airports 75 mins
drive.
The extensive outbuildings (530M²) offer plenty of scope
for further development such as workshop/studios for leisure activity
courses.
Running a gites complex provides an enjoyable way of
life and supplementary income that yields a better return on capital than
can be obtained from conventional savings.
The property will also interest professional people wishing
to semi-retire. It has Broadband. A wide choice of flights to UK and
Continental destinations from Toulouse (Easyjet and many major airlines) and
Carcassonne (Ryanair), both 75 mintues drive from us will make it easy to
continue consultancy work.
The price is €495,000 (£412,000) excluding
the owners' house or €695,000 (£580,000) for the whole property including most
of the gites' contents and the rentals website.
