Superb up and running gite business providing a substantial income, with an owner's residence and five letting units, all finished to a high standard to provide comfortable, well presented accommodation in a beautiful setting. Situated in lovely countryside within walking distance of a village with a bar/restaurant, and only five minutes drive from Chalais, with all schools, services, shops, bars/restaurants and a station on the Angouleme to Bordeaux line, this is a popular area for tourists, with the airports of Bordeaux, Angouleme, Bergerac, Limoges and La Rochelle all within easy reach. This property provides a rare opportunity to buy a business generating sufficient income to enjoy a comfortable living, with the potential to increase revenues further by extending the current summer only letting season. The gites will be sold fully furnished and equipped with bookings in place.

The current owners use the apartment joined to the barn to live in during the summer months, leaving the larger properties available for letting, although as the property offers great flexibility, the new owners may choose to live in one of the other houses permanently and rent out the barn apartment instead. Each individual cottage has its own water heater and electric meter. There is a large fenced pool area with sunloungers, a covered BBQ/indoor dining area and a games room.
