This property is situated in the sunny and green Ardèche of France, only 60 km from Lyon. Hereunder follows a short description of this unique offer with exceptional development possibilities : A flat and sunny land of approximately 15 ha with a height of approximately 500 m above the sea level and a beautiful panoramic view on the landscape of Haut Viverais, the Rhone valley and the Alps In the middle of this property glitters a 15th century country house build in old granite stone with a living surface of approximately 2000 m². This lovely building is fully renewed and since the summer of 2003 functioning as a successful “Charm hotel” (Relais & Châteaux). Next to the country house, followed by a cobble stoned place, you will find the multifunctional building of approximately 1200 m² which is used as riding school. From here day trips and horseback journeys are organised. HISTORY : In the beginning of 1990 the well-known diet guru and scientist Michel Montignac bought the “Domaine du Moulain” with the ruins of a 15th century country house. The renovation of the buildings took 8 years to reveal this beautiful country house with all technical and modern sanitary installations. His dream to make a “Relais & Château” hotel under his name failed due to unforeseen circumstances. In 2001 the Dutch family Heule bought the property and finished the work of Michel Montignac. In June 2003 the hotel opened its doors and it was immediately an huge success. Seeing the tremendous interest it has been decided to add 10 luxury panoramic rooms end of 2003. The son of the house is breeding and training, on the property, exclusive American Quarter Horses and organises, during the season (March to November), horseback day trips for which national and international interest is shown. Despite the fact that the “Domaine du Moulin” only appeared in the 2005 travel guides, it is already very well known, even overseas. Also the demand to organise seminars, marriages, company and family events is high. There are already several bookings for 2005 and this could profit a quick buyer. Reasons for the sale : Following the decease of a close member of the family, the owner has to travel a lot for short and long periods to the Netherlands. This is difficult to combine with a successful organisation of the “Domaine du Moulin”. Price : A lot more could be told about this marvellous place but to experience it with your own eyes is the best way to convince you. If you look for this kind of property you will be enthusiastic. And the possibility to rebuild the horseback activities into other commercial activities as Thalasso, beauty farm,etc is easily feasible. The price for such an unique property is always difficult to fix, but the buyer is prepared to discuss price if a quick buyer is interested.
