Sadly increasing age requires us to leave this lovely property in the unspoilt Tarn and its marvellous climate, drier than the Landes and Dordorgne but without the extreme heat (and bustle!) of Province.

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 whole 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 an hour. The property has Broadband.

The extensive outbuildings (530M²) offer plenty of scope for further development and younger owners might chose to add accommodation for Chambres d’Hôtes or workshop/studios for leisure activity courses such as painting, pottery, French, cooking, health pursuits, IT etc.

Running a gites complex like ours is an enjoyable enterprise both for people who have retired and wish to have a viable commercial interest and professionals wishing to escape the rat-race and semi-retire.

Broadband and the wide choice of local flights to UK and Continental destinations will make it easy to continue consultancy work.

The price for the whole property including most of the gites' contents and our website is 750,000 euros.
