Price reduction! Pick up bargain! Successful Gite business. Fsbo. Fully renovated farmhouse (152 m2) and converted barn (218 m2), Midi-Pyrénées, SW France. Located in a tiny hamlet, the barn is detached and the farmhouse is semi-detached on one side (one neighbour, a retired couple).

Privileged location in beauty spot, enjoys beautiful healing views of farmlands, forest, lake and mountains. The total property is 4,680 m2, including lawns, swimming pool, drive, porches, terrace, pergola, lawns, a veggie plot and a large pond surrounded by majestic poplars.

Perfect for those seeking income from long-term/holiday rentals, those requiring workshop space for projects/business, and those wishing to live with family but maintaining personal space. The farmhouse may be used as a 4-person and 6-person gîte (or one 8 person gîte), whilst the barn can be used as at least a 6-person if not 8-person gîte. A good strategy is to stay in the 4-person gîte during the summer to free the two 6-person gîtes. Approx €20K annual income potential. We can pass on a website and advice as regards best places to advertise.
