Set on the borders of the Creuse/Puy de Dome nestled in amongst the mountains not far from Clermont Ferrand is this rather stunning 15 bedroom hotel/restaurant and bar.

This is a genuine retirement sale with the current owners having owned and run this business for the past 42 years, the hotel is located in a busy tourist town with its busiest spell when the music festival is on, for 10 days over 6000 visitors descend on the town.

This is a very successful business with a 60 cover restaurant open lunchtimes and evenings, a busy local bar with a further 40 covers serving plat du jour and 15 bedrooms, that boast of maximum occupancy during high season, the hotel also boasts an array of various French awards for quality.

The hotel consists of on the:

Cellar: A large cellar with access from the kitchens houses the store for the vines, this has got to be one of the best collections of wine I have ever seen, also in this area is a walk in fridge.

Ground Floor: Reception, restaurant, bar, toilet, fully fitted stainless steel commercial kitchen, including cooking range, fridges and dishwashers.

First Floor: Various bedrooms all en-suite and with cable television, including doubles, twins and family rooms, service staff room, toilet, storage for linen.

Second Floor: various bedrooms all en suite with cable television, including doubles, twins and family rooms.

Third Floor: 4 double bedrooms which are used for staff accommodation, and a huge attic area, this floor could quite easily be converted into an apartment if required especially if a family wanted to run the hotel without staff.

Outside: A huge warehouse store area, a dry goods store area and a 2 bedroom house for renovation, this would make an ideal place for owners accommodation if required.
100 metres down the road from the hotel is a large garage which has spaces for 8 cars, residents pay extra to park there cars in this garage.

With the help of bi-lingual staff this hotel could easily be run by any nationality, as the hotel has visitors from around the globe. I would strongly advise a viewing on this fabulous establishment, because whoever buys this really has won the lottery, genuine hotel sells like this are far and few between, so don’t miss out make contact today.

7 hectare lake fully stocked with well established fish.

A very rare opportunity exists to purchase a fully habitable watermill, 4 very high standard gites, and 7 hectare carte de Cassini lake fully stocked with carp, pike, zander, perch, roach and trout, situated in the heart of rural France in the Auvergne Region just 20 minutes from Montlucon and 20 mins from Clermont Ferrand and its airport.

This is an outstanding property offering the following accommodation right on the lakeside with many of the views from windows overlooking the lake.

The main living accommodation is found in the mill house sat right on the banks of the lake with many windows overlooking this stunning water. The house comprises of a modern kitchen, Lounge, garage, toilet, utility room, bathroom and separate dining room on the ground floor. 2 double bedrooms on the second floor.

In the basement of the mill house the first of the 4 gites have been created, with entrance leading directly out to the terrace and swimming pool, a spacious and airy 2 bedroom gite, very tastefully furnished with colour co-ordinated décor, all furnishings will remain with this property in the gites.

The other 3 gites are located in a separate building, all 3 gites offering very comfortable accommodation and once again very high quality of furnishings and décor, 2 of these gites offer views over the lake, and one offers a balcony overlooking the pool and the lake. The building also houses the workshop and a large ballroom not currently used, but could easily be converted into a further gite, for anyone wanting to offer camping this would also be the perfect location for a shower block.

Outside in the grounds are 2 sun terraces one with swimming pool, and the other overlooking the lake, a small barn currently used for housing pool equipment could also be adapted into changing area and showers.

The lake has so much history with many famous events taking place here, there is also an old lake clubhouse bar with a terrace overlooking the lake, this is in good state of repair and with this location could quiet easily be turned into a restaurant bar, becoming a very lucrative business.

For the fishing the lake is 100% private with no other person having right to the waters or fishing without permission 2/3 of its banks are fishable and with a little clearing of shrubs this lake could quite easily create 18 spacious swims.

This is not being sold as a business as it has never been fully run as one, the current owners carried out most of the works in order friends and family could stay and enjoy the property, the owners do have a small amount of French clients that have found the site by accident stayed and passed on to friends, but no active advertising has never been carried out to operate as a full blown business, potentially a gold mine.

The lake was half drained 6 years ago with only 20% of its stocks taken away, it has also had a further introduction of stocks since, with carp of 16kg being stocked 6 years ago, the lake has been fished very little since, so for any carp fishermen out there do your sums and calculations, there’s some monsters in here. A full stocking list is available; a legal document from the notaire stating the introduced stocks only not what was existing as well.

This is a must to come and see and at this price will not be on the market long, for those of you who know your lakes and regulations, it is now very rare to find lakes with properties on, and to find a lake with properties and an ancient carte de Cassini lake are more or less impossible.

A very unique opportunity exists to buy a busy holiday complex, with planning permission to extend the property and build a further 45 holiday properties in the Charente Maritime region.

The complex currently consists of 16 quality 3 bedroom cottages, owners farmhouse, bar and restaurant with adjoining function room, fitness facility including 2 squash courts, gymnasium, lounge and games area, treatment room and ladies and gents locker and changing rooms, 2 Large swimming pools, garden, mini tennis, car parking and additional 3 hectares of land with planning to extend complex with chalets or mobile homes.

The owners farmhouse consists of on the ground floor an entrance hall with impressive galleried library and staircase, large drawing room with original Charentaise open fireplace, cloakroom, office, utility room, children’s room and large kitchen dining room, with original bread oven still in place. Upstairs is a large master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and 2 more double bedrooms with a shared bathroom. Outside is a beautiful private walled garden with veranda and fish pond.

The complex itself is completely bounded by stone walls and buildings making this a very safe environment for all the family, the 16 cottages are very tastefully decorated creating a good quality holiday ambience for the clients each cottage also has its own terrace and BBQ area with direct access to one of the 2 swimming pools. Plenty of space has been provided for relaxation around the complex, so whilst the kids playing tennis the adults can just chill out with a glass of wine.

The premises have the benefit of a category 3 Liquor Licence which allows the sale of any liquor off sales or with a restaurant meal, and drinks with a proof of up to 18% to anyone seven days a week. The restaurant during high season is open all day serving drinks and a good quality food menu. Annual turnover produces around 200000 euros per year, and with no staff overheads this makes this project a very viable business for a family team. The business has currently been trading under the current owners since 1993 , who have now decided it is time to retire, 40% of the annual trade is repeat business, so anyone taking over will be guaranteed an income on there first year of trading.

The adjoining land of 3 hectares has just been classified as AUXT this is the UK equivalent of outline planning, the permission is granting 45 new dwellings whether houses, chalets or mobile homes permanent or holiday, a scale plan has been built with 45 bungalows being built which could generate a huge income in the future as sales or rentals the choice is yours.

This is a fabulous complex that the current owners really feel they cannot exploit any further after 15 years of hard work and now want to hand the reigns to someone younger that can exploit this potential goldmine to its maximum.

The price below is inclusive of agents fees and is for the purchase of the property and its land, it does not include the business( fond de commerce). In order to buy this property the cost would be an additional 300000 euros + agency fees.
